Tomato & Celery Salad
Crunchy, light and flavorful, Tomato & Celery Salad is joyful. Wedges of ripe tomato, chunks of crunchy celery and a few simple ingredients are all it takes. Be sure to have a crusty bread or crisp cracker on hand, the juices from the tomatoes and celery combine with the olive oil, vinegar, and spices to create a lovely liquor that encourages dipping. This salad makes me happy; you should try it!

College Students Face Food Insecurity
Like many other college seniors, I am living off campus and providing food for myself, without my parents or a college meal plan, for the first time in my life.
Baked Cabbage Stacks
If you’re like me sometimes you open your produce drawer to find small amounts of this and that; not quite enough to make a single ingredient side dish but certainly enough to inspire a recipe. That’s what happened here. A cabbage on hand, a handful of mushrooms, a couple of carrots, an onion or two and a few panty staples inspired this dish. I served the Baked Cabbage Stacks over steamed rice and topped with a fried egg. Lots of flavor, nicely balanced and enjoyed by the family; another dinner done!
