Roasted Veggie Extravaganza

October 18, 2020 by Teri Sprouse

Fall has definitely hit the Pacific Northwest.  My yard is filling up with leaves, the air is crisper, and my weekly routine switched to include making big pans of oven roasted veggies to nosh on during the week.  I love having a container full of healthy, oven caramelized vegetables to add as a side to […]

Blackberry Bonanza

August 1, 2020 by Teri Sprouse

Today, I started my day doing one of my favorite activities- riding my bike.  As I was cruising down Willamette Drive here is Portland, I saw many people filling buckets with the fresh blackberries that were growing on the side of the road.  The sight of all those fresh berries gave me the idea to […]

Focus on Raspberries

June 11, 2020 by Teri Sprouse

Today I received my Imperfect Produce box and I was so excited to see the plump, tasty raspberries in the box.  I was a little apprehensive about ordering them because raspberries can lack flavor if they are picked too soon- fortunately, these were perfect!  I have always loved raspberries and use to spend hours with […]

For the Love of Rhubarb

May 31, 2020 by Teri Sprouse

Until a visit to the Bainbridge Island Farmer’s Market a few years ago, I had never experienced rhubarb.  A booth there was selling the beautiful red stalks of rhubarb and sampling a delicious strawberry rhubarb crisp.  I was immediately hooked and set about trying to create my own version of the crisp that night.  (The […]

Red, Juicy Strawberry Goodness

May 24, 2020 by Teri Sprouse

I tend to be a person who gets fixated on one breakfast for a long period of time.  As a kid, it was often unhealthy foods like sugary cereal or cinnamon, sugar toast.  Fortunately, as I have gotten older, my taste buds have matured.  With the warm weather returning, I have found myself turning back […]

Crazy for Cranberries

November 30, 2019 by Teri Sprouse

I hope everyone had an amazing Turkey day filled with family and good food.  One of my most favorite Thanksgiving traditions is to eat cranberry sauce.  I love the sweet, tart combination slathered on a piece of perfectly juicy turkey.  Many people love the taste of cranberries but few realize all the health benefits they […]

Most of us think about summer as the time to indulge in fresh fruit and produce but fall also offers  an abundance of tasty plants.  One of my favorite ways to dive into the bounty of fall is by munching on all the fresh greens.  Kale, spinach and Swiss chard are three of my favorites. […]

Focus on Blueberries

July 4, 2019 by Teri Sprouse

Berry season is in full swing here in Portland and I am loving it!  There is nothing better than fresh berries off the bush or vine to make you feel like summer is here.  Last year, I planted two small blueberry bushes in my back yard and I am anxiously waiting for the berries to […]

Focus on Spinach

April 14, 2019 by Teri Sprouse

Spring has sprung here in Portland and it has gotten me focused on all the yummy, tender greens that are available at this time.  While I love arugula, tender lettuces and other green tasties, spinach is one of my favorite standbys.  I love spinach served almost any way and its mild taste make it a […]

Focus on Cabbage

March 10, 2019 by Teri Sprouse

Next weekend is St. Patrick’s Day with all the craziness of green beer, leprechauns and pinches for forgetting to wear green.  Luckily, even with all the celebrating, you can still do something good for your body.  The traditional Irish meal of corned beef and cabbage offers an amazing opportunity to fill your body with nutritional […]

Blackberry Bonanza

September 17, 2018 by Teri Sprouse

I just rolled into town from a last hooray camping/fishing trip with my youngest son before he leaves for college.  He is an avid fly fisherman so we traveled Oregon rivers looking for the best catch.  Today, by the side of the Rogue River, while I watched him hook fish after fish, I discovered a […]
