Loam Collaboration: Smoky Collard Chips

March 25, 2018 By Courtney West Leave a Comment

As much as I love greens, I find there are some weeks where I just can’t sauté or braise them fast enough before they go bad. When I have an abundance of heartier greens like collards or kale, I like to bake up a batch of chips. It satisfies my salty snack cravings in a healthier way and helps to stay on top of eating all of the goodness in my CSA share before the next one arrives. This version uses collards and a homemade smoky vegan parmesan but feel free go plain salt and pepper to make it easier. You can find the recipe over on the Loam Agronomics site 🙂

Loam Collaboration: Ginger Pickled Root Veggies

January 17, 2018 By Courtney West Leave a Comment

Winter is a time for slowing down and eating more comforting foods. As we tend to move less and eat a little more than we would in say the warm summer months, digestion can be a bit off. Enter the pickle! Pickles help with digestion and provide a nice balance of flavors. Plus, they extend the shelf life of your farm fresh veggies. In this version, I’ve paired sweet and sunny carrots with kohlrabi though you can use any root vegetables you like here. For just a touch more digestive and immune support, I’ve included fresh ginger root as well. My favorite way to eat these is to mix them with some avocado and cilantro for a quick and easy salad of sorts.. You can find this recent collaboration with Loam Agronomics over on their site.
