Chana Masala

by Lauren on January 25, 2012

What do a beagle and my husband have in common? Here’s a hint: it’s only tangentially related to this chana masala. This is a generally traditional vegetarian Indian dish, delicious for anyone who likes to dissect flavors. It’s also perfectly suitable for someone who just wants to relax. Beagles should probably abstain.

5 Things to Do with Those Strawberries (and a Sorbet Recipe)

June 22, 2011 Desserts & Ice Creams

People I work with should know better than to tell me what came in the CSA this week.
