A few years ago I became a big lover of fresh fennel. I had not eaten it much while growing up, but as an adult love it to pieces. I discovered this recipe when the CSA box we were getting delivered kept having bunches of celery week after week. I originally made this with celery…
Heather’s Vegetable Soup
We have been having some colder weather here on the central coast. Not cold by New England standards (I can totally hear my East Coast family laughing at me), but cold enough away from our 80’ norm that I have been chilled to the bone and have had a hard time warming up. All I…
Oso Buco

Caribbean Rice
When I was going through my island theme cooking a few months back I discovered this recipe for Caribbean rice. I was not sure what to expect but we were pleasantly surprised. Have I shared that I try to go into new recipes with low expectations? Especially if I find them on certain websites. I…
