Rosie Roasted Chicken

It’s probably unwise to name my food before I cook it ~ We’re not keen to forming attachments to our precious animal “friends” before consumption in our household, yet, I consistently find myself creating cute little character calls for my chickens. Perhaps it’s because I’m not a huge fan of chicken in general…maybe naming her “Rosie” makes…

Blistered Rainbow Carrots with Carrot Top Pesto

Yes, I’ve said it before. Pesto really is the BESTO! Pesto can be anything at all, which is why it’s so incredibly THE BEST. There’s really no rule that states the savory smear needs to be the basic basil, pine nut and parmesan deal. …..there’s no rule that states garlic and olive oil must be…

Sometimes opportunity knocks. …and some of those “sometimes,” we may not necessarily entirely understand the opportunity or what it may bring, but simply recognize it as simply that – an opportunity.
