This winter stew is the result of an evening’s experiment. I wanted to use up some kale I had, and to try delicata squash for the first time. It’s a satisfying meal with interesting flavors, and optionally can be served over rice or any grain you like. Ingredients: 1½ tbsp. coconut oil½ large onion, chopped2…
Homemade Granola… Mmm
I made this big, beautiful batch of granola early this morning, before the day warmed up too much to use the oven. The whole house smelled divine!
