“The Time has Come My Friends to Talk of Many Things”…

Posted on February 19, 2021April 15, 2021 by Jen


Of Oyster Mushrooms, Garlic, Shallots, Parsley and Linguini…

I love Lewis Carroll’s famous poem featured in Alice and Wonderland with the walrus and the carpenter. I cannot think of oysters, be they sea creatures or mushrooms, without recalling this poem. And so my friends, the time has come to discuss what to do with a beautiful box of oyster mushrooms. These delectable wonders appeared in my latest CSA box from Kindlewood farms.

I knew right away these were going to be the star ingredient for pasta night and described below is our favorite way to prepare them!

Here are a few tips for an easy dinner:

  1. Oyster mushrooms are easy to clean. Just wipe away any dirt with a dry paper towel and cut off the stem. This article is great for a step by step process with photos.
  2. You can certainly roll your own pasta by hand. It is fun and easy to do. My daughters and I always do this step together and the ratio of water to flour we use is listed below. We have tried many brands of semolina flour over the years and hands down prefer to use Bob’s Red Mill. The taste is far superior and it yields the perfect texture of dough for rolling pasta.
  3. However, there are many nights when this is just not feasible. Dried pasta noodles work extremely well on these nights. If Julia Child regularly served Goldfish crackers as an appetizer before Thanksgiving dinner and at parties – then home cooks should feel free to buy dried pasta!
  4. When you cook the pasta noodles, always reserve some of the cooking liquid to add to the bowls if needed.

Slow Food, Less Effort, 1 Ingredient at a Time

Are you striving to make a lifestyle change or looking to discover plant-focused recipes the whole family will love?

My name is Jen. I am a wife, mom, and a pharmacist. I love to cook for my family, hike, run, and read about history. I enjoy eating fresh, seasonal, locally available produce. In addition to endurance trail runs and long bike rides, I will happily set out on foraging hikes for mushrooms and truffles.

Waiting for the seasons to change, fruits to ripen, vegetables to mature, or truffles to reach their peak (7-11 years) is an endurance sport in itself.  Nonetheless, the time and effort spent is well worth crossing that finish line and enjoying a delicious, healthy meal.

I always say the slower you run, the more you enjoy the trail. Food is the same. Cooking together in the kitchen with freshly harvested fruits and vegetables is all about taking life slower and enjoying the process and experience. Plant-based, healthy food for the whole family with less effort, so you can slow down and enjoy life!
