Beets 101

Kale and Fennel Gratin Casserole
My husband hates kale. Almost all kinds. But he thought this was good. That should tell you this isn’t your average kale recipe! I adapted this from my local organic farm CSA, and it was a hit at our house. You can make it dairy...

Artichoke Lemon Hummus
Eileen’s Artichoke Lemon Hummus I made this recipe up on the fly one summer day when I was having friends over. Many hummus recipes are too thick and pasty for me, almost so thick you couldn’t dip with them. I wanted something a bit more...
