Chicken Provencal

This is one of my favorite dishes to prepare. It showcases John Boy's very happy and delicious chicken legs, slowly simmered with aromatic vegetables, capers, white wine, lemon, olives and fresh herbs...among other things :-)

Beautiful Greens!

Thank you to Amba Farms for these beautiful, baby salad greens!

Our Mascot

Well here she is, Mischka Lou, the official mascot of Erica's Kitchen. My four-legged brat, fast asleep and snoring. :-)

Dreaming of Heirloom Tomatoes...

February will be over before we know it, time just keeps moving faster it seems. We've not had a real winter, and I have to say I do miss it. It is a big change compared to last year, but I wouldn't mind a good snow storm or two. Crocuses, hyacinths and daffodils, among so many other "signs of spring", really shouldn't be sprouting this early. We'll see what the next few months have in store, Mother Earth just isn't herself, and I'm not surprised. As a cold rain falls outside tonight, I'm thinking about heirloom tomatoes and am anxious to get my seeds started. This is a shot of a sandwich we made at the kitchen this past summer.
