What’s for Dinner?

We’re kicking it into high gear with the pizza and movie nights…The Oscars are nearly here! Some Indian this week too, in the form of a big pot of dahl with lentil and greens, to keep the wet chill away. A special Mexican request is fulfilled so easily with the local tortillas that arrived in my CSA box. And a couple new ways with parsnips. Maybe just one of them my kids will like!
