Chorizo With Garden Harvest
Every Wednesday I have no idea what I’m going to receive in my CSA bag. When I bring it home I love to create dishes from as many of the vegetables in one dish as I can. Of course the more vegetables I include the stronger the seasoning has to be so the vegetables are […]

Buffalo Cranberry & Wine Sausage With Pork
Whenever I cook vegetables for my husband I have to do a good job of either hiding them or making sure they are part of the dish. They do not over power the dish with their taste and texture. I guess that’s the same thing as hiding them. I’m really working on getting more vegetables, […]
Where is that Farmers Market?
Today’s Food section from The Washington Post is the one I wait for all winter long. In today’s section is a Guide to Washington Area Farmers Markets. This list covers The District, Maryland and Virginia. I highly suggest you take it from the paper and post it on your refrigerator. Nothing beats locally grown produce […]
