This is a quick dinner for those nights when you don’t know what to make, you are hungry, and you don’t want to fuss. My husband had a meeting to attend a couple of evenings ago so I was dining solo. Since he has been watching his carbs lately, and I have been hungry for…

Roasted Carrots with Fennel and Onions
Is it a side dish to go with the brisket or is it a work of art? The answer is it could be both. These roasted carrots began as beautiful bunches of orange, purple, and pale yellow organic carrots with their stems intact that I bought at the local farmer’s market. Along with a couple…
