Tortillas and Chile Rojo = Labors of Love

Tortillas and Chile Rojo = Labors of Love

Every other week in the winter, we can be found in our kitchen cooking for market. We stay busy; I hand-roll somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 flour tortillas and press around 200 corn tortillas per market week! But, no matter what task it is, rolling out flour tortillas, pressing corn tortillas, peeling green chiles, or toasting red chile pods, we are happy. We thought we’d give you a sneak peak into the makings of two of our most favorite foods: tortillas and rojo sauce. These are labors of love, and we hope you enjoy them! Read More

Year of the Dragon!

I am so glad that it is the year of the dragon. What a great year to follow 2011, the year of the most-annoying-weather-cycles. I am sooooooo over 2011, the year of the Rabbit – which is both Spencer’s and my Chinese zodiac; homebody types that like to fluff their nests. We had a lot of forced hunkering-down house-bound time this year, but now we’re getting antsy and ready to breathe some new fire into this new year. Plus, I really like the symbolism that the year of the dragon portends… Read More

Best Chile Paste Ever!

Best Chile Paste Ever!

I have been told that I have a problem. It seems that I cannot eat a meal, except the occasional cereal or yogurt for breakfast, that doesn’t require some kind of heat. I’ll take anything, Tabasco, Sriracha, red chile flakes, the odd habaƱero sauce, even chile oil… Read More

Smother me with…chile!

Smother me with…chile!

We are finally posting here on the blog to let you know that we have been very busy, not with farm clean up so much (yeah, we’ll get to that), but with working on our new seasonal venture that we will be bringing to you each winter. We are back at it, albeit in a new capacity, and will be at the Burlington Winter Farmers’ Market starting November 5th! We present to you: Half Pint Farm’s Table, the prepared foods arm of our little farm! Read More

Zucchini Done Right

Zucchini Done Right

I know, I know. By the end of the summer we are all a little zucchini-d out, and can hardly think of anything else we’d like to do with it. The usual repertoire of zucchini breads and all manner of grilled or roasted zucchinis have become tired and you are more than ready to call it a season where zucchini is concerned. But wait! Don’t let summer pass you by without one last one-skillet dish that will have you wishing you had done this all summer long. Let this be the dish that leaves you wanting more zucchini, and wishing your tired old squash plants have one more squash left in them. Read More
