Penelope introduced us to this dish years ago and I nearly forgot about it. But it is perfect for this season when you still want something warm and hearty. But given the greens are starting to pop (and there are still plenty pre-blanched in the freezer), I think this week it is going to get […]

Holiday Pancakes

In one of our first gardens in Washington, DC we grew carrots, a lot of them. They were reallysuccessful, but we didn’t have great storage options, so we made 4 different carrot soups, in large quantities. It did take me awhile to get back to carrot soup, but there are so many great options it […]
