Anyone else out there not convert to a brussels lover until adulthood? I was not into them as a kid. Maybe it was the way my mom hated them because of the way her mom boiled them (sorry, Grandy, but ew). Once I discovered the magic of a good quality fat, salt, flavor, and a [...]

I love hummus. A lot. On sourdough. As a salad topper. With cheese and prosciutto. For beef stick sipping. Shoot, even just with a spoon. (Note: these pair GREAT with pink pickled onions on everything). I decided it was time to make some myself, and wow am I glad I did. It's delicious, WAY more [...]

This one makes me think of my pink-loving little one, and because of that, it will always make me smile.
