Sprouts!
Tis’ the season for brussel sprouts in my house. We simply slice them in half, drizzle them with olive oil, salt and pepper, and then bake them at 400 degrees until they start to burn golden brown. SO delicious!!

For the Love of Chocolate
A few years ago I had the great pleasure of hearing John Scharffenberger give a lecture at Blue Hill Stone Barns. I’ve never been much of a chocolate fan, but it was so interesting to learn about the history of chocolate and the differences between the end product available to us consumers. It was also [...]
