Some of my Favorite Spring Recipes
Vegetarian Chili with Skillet Corn Bread
Vegetarian Chili with Skillet Corn Bread There's a lot to be said for creating chili from scratch and watching it slowly simmer over a warm stovetop for hours as it develops deep flavor. On the other hand, on many days there is also even more to be said to opening...
Winter Citrus Bars with Tangelo & Blood Orange

Zucchini Quiche with Parmesan Panko Crust & Herb Garden Pesto
Zucchini Quiche with Parmesan Panko Crust & Herb Garden Pesto Quiche is kind of a lost recipe, and I’m not sure exactly why that is. For sure, it’s a rich indulgence you probably won’t want to eat every day, but there are times when it’s a perfect remedy...
