Substantial Salad: It’s a crowd pleaser!
I’ve been neglecting the farmer’s market lately…March just came and went without any trips to the market at all! When April arrived, I got my act together (the thought of morrels had me going to the market at 7 am!) This is one of my favorite times of the year for fresh veggies: beets, potatoes,…

FüD (read: Food) Kansas City
Coming from a small city, I am amazed at the variety of restaurants in KC. I love the local options, but I’m thrilled that there are also vegetarian, and even vegan restaurants!
