Blue Hill at Stone Barns

For Adam's birthday, our buddies Steve and Devi joined us on a trip up north to visit Blue Hill at Stone Barns and the Stone Barns Agricultural Center. We went early to get a tour of the farm, which was well worth it. So many vegetables and cute animals really got my stomach groaning. It was actually very inspiring to see this farm as an example of sustainability, and it was a beautiful day hanging out with people I really like.

The food at Blue Hill was very tasty. For the most part it was simple food, prepared very well. It was not mind blowing or really all that innovative, but simple fresh food prepared very well can be pretty phenomenal and it's really all I needed.

Weeknight Dinners

Below I have posted some images of what Adam and I eat on a regular basis. Most of the meals, I just make up.

They are:

Black beans with warm tortilla, plantains, and serrano cilantro rice

Smoked pork chops with cannelli beans and sweet bell peppers

Sauteed swiss chard with pine nuts and raisins, topped with a poached egg

Orzo and wild rice salad with roasted root vegetables and spring onions

Chinese 5-spice chicken with a peanut noodle salad

My Mom's Malaysian Chicken!

Malaysian Roast Chicken

Chicken and Fall Vegetable Pot Pie

I love eating warm things on cold days. I have made this pot pie quite a few times before, and its very easily adaptable to the ingredients you have on hand.
