It’s rhubarb season! I wish I could say I cut this rhubarb from my garden, but I didn’t. I bought it at the store, so it’s not even as local as I’d like. I keep hoping one day my plants will grow big enough to harvest, but they’re being stubborn. I planted three about three…
Five-Spice Sheet Pan Supper

Beet Greens With Garlic & Sage
I’m not big on impulse buys, but there are exceptions to every rule. When I was at the butcher recently, they had rack of lamb that was just gorgeous. I splurged and bought one. I’m usually a pretty strict grocery list follower, but it’s not rare for me to venture off-list at the butcher if…
Cornmeal-Crusted Scallops with Mint Chimichurri & Couscous Pilaf
I know, I know, it’s a long name. But hear me out, it’s worth it! I was planning to make a scallop recipe from the May 2005 issue of Cooking Light and was inspired to take it to another level. I had a monster mint plant in my Aerogarden that had to go to make room for…
