Some people prefer sweet. I tend to lean more towards savory. I can pass up a piece of candy, cake, etc., with little to no effort but put something hot, cheesy, salty in front of me and that’s where my will power gets a run for its money. This dish combines all of the elements
“Mushrooms were the roses in the garden of that unseen world, because the real mushroom plant was underground. The parts you could see – what most people called a mushroom – was just a brief apparition. A cloud flower.” ― Margaret Atwood, The Year of the Flood True to its name, this salad was an herby treat!
Soup is a lot like a family. Each ingredient enhances the others; each batch has its own characteristics; and it needs time to simmer to reach full flavor. Marge Kennedy You know how people claim that a “healthier” version of a food or dish actually tastes better than the original? And then you roll your
Fall is just a few weeks away (woohoo!), which means the last of the corn season is here (boo). I feel that we’ve taken full advantage this year with locally-grown corn from our farmers market and trying a handful of new recipes. Just last night, we made a yummy corn and mushroom risotto that we
