I get no credit for this actual recipe for Cranberry Jalapeño Salsa. I only get credit for passing it on to you. You will enjoy it. It is a bit high in sugar, but it’s a holiday dish and you won’t be eating the whole bowl. Though you might be […]

The first time I made this easy kale salad I made an interesting discovery. It actually tastes better the second day. This doesn’t work with most salad greens, but kale is stout enough to stand up to some marinating. You’ll want to use only baby kale as mature kale is […]
When cooked, onions take on a sweet personality. They’re also a good source of biotin, Vitamins B6 & C, calcium, chromium and dietary fiber. Mushrooms provide us with vitamins B6, B12, C, and D, as well as niacin, pantothenic acid, and riboflavin. Combined they make a tasty dish. I grew […]
