It’s officially fall and you know what that means: It’s pepper season. Peppers are a fall harvest crop and one of my favorite things to grow. It might take all summer for them to ripen in my climate, but it’s well worth the effort when […]
I roasted Red Hubbard Squash yesterday and now get to spend the rest of the week making all sorts of fun things with squash. Roasted squash is one of my favorite things to toss into just about anything and everything all winter long in. As […]
