The “Headstone Brigade” Rescuing Vermont’s Rural Cemeteries

Since the Vermont Old Cemetery Association was established in 1958, a dedicated team of history buffs, dutiful descendants, and good neighbors have crisscrossed the Green Mountains in order to “encourage the restoration and preservation of neglected and abandoned cemeteries in the State of Vermont.” 

Side Dishes

Garlicky Parmesan Corn

Here’s an Italian-ish take on Mexican street corn, where freshly cooked cobs are doused in garlic butter and sprinkled with freshly grated Parmesan (or Romano) cheese, followed by a shower of minced parsley or basil (or both). It’s the perfect summer side.

Salads

Southwest Quinoa Salad

This colorful and flavorful southwest quinoa salad is the perfect vegetarian side dish.

Main Dishes

Desserts

Strawberry Rice Krispie Bars

The addition of freeze-dried strawberries in these Strawberry Rice Krispie bars makes for a fun and pretty variation.
