Greens and Beans Riff
http://www.alfrescoallnatural.comI've had a bunch of broccoli rabe patiently waiting to receive some attention in my veggie drawer for maybe 2 weeks - tonight was finally its lucky night. I felt like making something a bit different from my usual Greens and Beans and took my inspiration from a package of chicken sausage I found in … Continue reading Greens and Beans Riff

I must admit, I'm a little intimidated coming into an environment where the staff, particularly Kerry and Jonathan, are so well established, but hopefully my many years of service … Continue reading The New Old(er) Woman
