A friend told me about a great blog she came across called A Veggie Venture. It was created by a woman named Alanna Kellogg. Alanna posts vegetable recipes "from Asparagus to Zucchini" and playfully calls herself "Your Veggie Evangelist." She started out doing this as a month-long project, and two years and about 750 veggie recipes later, she's still going strong.
If you think I love vegetables, she puts me to shame! I love her blog and this series of coincidences:
It turns out that Alanna, who lives in Missouri, has a Maine connection. She became friends, via blogging, with a Maine food blogger named Stephen Smith, who also has a very interesting site, by the way. Stephen, who lives in Portland, is a shareholder in the Wolf Pine Farms CSA (community supported agriculture) in Alfred, Maine. He had the great idea of asking Alanna if she could help fellow shareholders by offering up recipes for the vegetables they receive each week from the farm.
And ... I know of this farm because I met its owner many times at farmers' markets over the years. It's where I first learned about garlic scapes. That's a subject for another blog, but if you want to learn what they are, see the farm's site here. Wolf Pine Farm is a great certified organic farm.
I just love that, through blogging, a woman in Missouri is helping a lot of people in Maine (and beyond) come up with fresh ideas for how to prepare wonderful fresh vegetables!
