Posted on February 16, 2015 by Katie Trussell

As much as I love my veggies, I don’t always crave a salad or stir fry. I really love something simple, something indulgent with respect to my innate need for healthy food. So here comes a green spread. Something lovely Continue Reading →

Lemon Papaya Coconut Pudding Pie

Posted on February 15, 2015 by Katie Trussell

This dessert brought itself together – no plan at all. In fact, that was my dilemma. I was cooking for a group and wasn’t sure what I was offering for dessert yet. However, I had used the seeds of a Continue Reading →

Sweet Potato Mash with Dill, Cauliflower and Bok Choy

Posted on January 27, 2015 by Katie Trussell

A yummy garden creation. I never make anything that requires me to leave for the store – unless I’m making steak and I simply don’t have it – so I don’t expect anyone to follow any of my creations to Continue Reading →

Chopped Salad – With Local Hard Boiled Eggs, Avocado & Olives

Posted on January 26, 2015 by Katie Trussell

I wanted to share this recipe partly because it showcases our eggs which have been hard boiled. Believe it or not, before we took on the Chicken farm, the owner told me you couldn’t hard boil them. I was really Continue Reading →

Spicy Eggplant Pate

Posted on January 25, 2015 by Katie Trussell

I’ve got an overbearing eggplant bush. Not necessarily a problem – just nudges me to create outside the stir-fry zone. Which is great for this kind of eggplant we’re growing – the Listada de Gandia – a Spanish variety that has Continue Reading →

Soaked and Fermented – Buckwheat Pancakes

Posted on December 29, 2014 by Katie Trussell

Not sure I’ve ever been so excited about a pancake before – okay, maybe once when I added guava puree and bananas to buckwheat flour and produced a successful gluten free pancake. Or maybe one other time when I was Continue Reading →

Moringa Madness

Posted on December 28, 2014 by Katie Trussell

We topped our Moringa plant the other day and used the branches to propagate new trees. So into the kitchen came at least 15 fully dressed branches with leaves so I went to work on stripping them and putting everything Continue Reading →

Moringa Stew with Dasheen & Taro

Posted on December 27, 2014 by Katie Trussell

I’m on a Moringa high – could be worse right? I’ve seen people stampede toward the curly kale at the farmers market, so much so that manners and common courtesy were forgotten. Some had to relearn “waiting your turn” like Continue Reading →

Banana Jam – Iholena Lele Plantain Variety

Posted on December 23, 2014 by Katie Trussell

Malama Kauai is jammin at the farmers market these days! Gone are the days when we operated out of our offices at Common Ground – for 3 plus years we’ve immersed ourselves on the land, planted our own gardens and Continue Reading →
