Pasta with Fresh Cranberry Bean/Tomato Confit Sauce
I picked up fresh cranberry beans at the farm market the other day. I didn’t know what they were, but they were so pretty, I couldn’t resist them. So then it was time to do some internet research.

Mediterranean Salad and Garden Update

Mexican Broccoli-Corn Lasagna
For the first time, I have had success with spring broccoli in my garden.

But whatever the reason, I am very happy! The first head…
Kale, Tomato and Egg Tacos
