Salad: keeping plates colorful

Broccoli and Plantain are secret besties: nobody knows it, but this dish confirms it.

A tasty way to say hello to spring! (It’s just beginning up here…)

Once the bunch of kale is gone, there remain the stems. Savor them in soup!

Green split pea soup with fresh herbs and a hint of lemon. It whispers that spring might be on it’s way – if of course it weren’t snowing outside…

Rich, smoky, sweet, complex; this stew has it all.

Lentil soups are a low-maintenance method of getting more of these petite little legumes into a daily diet.

This salad is irresistible, even to those reticent about rapini and sea vegetables: even our 5 year old agrees!
