Autumn Salads...
Read more →As the leaves start to turn orange, yellow, and red, Autumn presents a hearty bounty. Fresh fennel, pears, parsnips, Brussel sprouts, figs, and squash come into their own during these cooler months and will make salads bright and fresh, warm and hearty, no matter if your salad is a main dish or an accompaniment. The addition of raw or roasted nuts, seeds, little jewel-toned bites of mixed dried fruit, and spicy rice crackers bring that extra crunch & color to these local, leafy recipes. Enjoy!

It's Stone Fruit Season
Read more →Lots of recipes below -- keep scrolling down to find a favorite..or two...or three :) Nectarines, cherries, mangoes, apricots, peaches, and plums all fall under the name “stone fruits.” That’s because they contain large, hard seeds (relative to the size of their fruit).

Right now is the best time to enjoy stone fruits because they are at their peak and available here in the Midwest at their best through September.

We weren't having a hurricane or "snow-nado," and perhaps if I put away my winter boots and down jacket,...
