You know what I get sick of hearing? How leafy greens are so good for you. (Before you start, yeah, I know they are. I like them even.) Whenever someone starts in on the benefits of leafy greens, my eyes kind of glaze over. Because …
I discovered this recipe last summer, when our CSA box was filled with more eggplant than we knew what to do with. After the first batch, I quickly made several more to stock up our freezer for the eggplantless winter months ahead. We gobbled through …
I know what some of you are saying. “Two soups in a row? What is this?!” Friends, I will tell you what this is. This is called February in the Arctic Chicago. It’s really cold. All the time. Not the kind of duh-it’s-winter cold, but the …
