My goal for 2022 is to get out into my neighborhood and other areas for more walks around the village and various waterways, either early mornings or in the afternoons...I am so looking … Continue reading December Drifts

Fennel & Blood Orange Salad
This refreshingly beautiful salad gives us a colorful promise on the grayest of winter days! Adapted from a William-Sonoma recipe, the contrast of the sweetness from the oranges, the anise from the fennel and the pepper from the arugula, the combination is delightful. I added the walnuts for a little extra fat and protein. This has quickly … Continue reading Fennel & Blood Orange Salad
