The above picture is from our mid-December bag, which included: 2-pound bag of carrots, one candy onion, a loaf of whole wheat bread, one kohlrabi, one acorn squash, one bunch … More Butternut Squash & Sage Lasagna.
Last weekend I picked up some fresh cut peonies at my local grocery store. Sitting on my kitchen window sill, they look gorgeous in my white enamel water pitcher. During the week, I’ve lost a few blooms. I come home and they’ve dropped their petals, usually all over the floor. Still, didn’t mind cleaning up … More Peonies & Rainbow Chard.

My silence was just a lovely respite from people sharing their traditional indulgences. OK, lame excuse. I was busy. I started a job in November. I moved … More Lasagna and changes.
Hello blogging world. I’m back for real this time. What have you been doing? I’m glad you asked. First, I graduated from Ohio University.
