Let’s Go, Orange! Sheet Pan Supper

Clap clap clapclapclap! Sorry, I couldn’t resist. My husband & chief taste tester came up with the name for this delicious sheet pan supper. Can you tell we’re both Syracuse fans?  I was out in the garden earlier, doing a little clean-up. I’m amazed at how much is still out there, considering it’s October. I decided…

Warm September Farro Salad

Don’t you just love September? Here in Upstate NY, the garden bursts with beautiful tomatoes, beans, herbs, and more, and the local orchards have early apples.

Cracked pepper seasoning around the outside, bleu cheese incorporated into the burger. Perfection!)…

Blueberry-Balsamic Green Beans & Chard

If you do the latter, wait until the last minute to add the avocado and feta. You’ll find a printer-friendly version of the recipe at the bottom…
