Hunting for Morrels…
On Friday I woke up with morrel mushrooms on my mind…I don’t know where the thought came from, but it turns out that this is the perfect time of year for morrels. I’d never tried one, and it’s been on my list of things to cook since I heard about them last year. Since I don’t…

Forks Over Knives Documentary

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!
