  • New Flora | Barhi Dates

    Wow, it’s been absolutely forever since I’ve done a New Flora post.  I thought I had given them up, but lately I’ve been missing them.  That’s okay, right? A few times lately I’ve thought about doing a New Flora post to introduce y’all to some new-to-me (and hopefully you too) piece of produce that I…

  • New Flora: Sea Lemon + Hot Toddy Recipe

    Look at the crazy thing I found at the farmer’s market this weekend!

  • New Flora: Fennel + Roasted Fennel Recipe

    Fennel is an awesome vegetable that is actually not totally new to me.  But I have only ever eaten it two ways – raw on salads or in an awesome Rachael Ray recipe with fennel, onions, and breadcrumbs in pasta (I’ll have to make that one later and post it!)  So this is a “new…
