Now, if this recipe doesn’t qualify as a “clean out the refrigerator meal,” I don’t know what does. Sometimes getting home late to a relatively empty fridge has its advantages. I knew I wanted to use up some leftover diced tomatoes, and I also had some broccoli. We got a bit of chard from our […]
Each week, fabulous recipes grace my in-box and pop up on my computer screen, and I’m sharing my favorites with you. This week, desserts caught my eye.
