so pretty - so delicious When faced with a freakishly large head of broccoli rabe, and the desire to limit carbohydrate consumption, what would you do? If carbs were not an issue, I'd be all about making a pot of polenta, Union Square Cafe-style with milk, Gorgonzola and toasted walnuts. I've been trying to wean … Continue reading Olive Greens

(Turkey) Risotto
A week after our family Thanksgiving, I've finally killed the turkey. I started, naturally, with turkey sandwiches (both hot and cold), proceeded to turkey noodle soup, dabbled in turkey salad (with almonds, craisins and golden raisins) and wrapped it up tonight with turkey risotto. I know there are folks out there who don't like risotto … Continue reading (Turkey) Risotto
Thanks(for)giving

The Delaware Avenue project is quietly coming to a close - and, boy, does it look great! I can't decide which features I'm happiest about - the beautiful marked crosswalks, the new lighting, the … Continue reading Looking good, Nicole’s
Yellow Salad
I started making a green salad this weekend, however, I actually ended up with a more decidedly yellow one! I mean, there definitely was a green "base" of mixed field greens, but by the time I added all of the beautiful vegetables (and 2 fruits, counting tomatoes) I ended up with a delicious bowlful of … Continue reading Yellow Salad
