FFwD: Asparagus & Bits of Bacon

This week's French Fridays with Dorie is asparagus. And bacon! Hooray! I really liked this recipe and it was very simple. We had it on the side of the Fennel-crusted Tuna. I made a half recipe and in lieu of a nut oil, I used olive oil and tossed in a few toasted almonds. Delicious …

Feta & Kamut Berry Salad

This has become sort of a weekly staple over the last...okay, well, only two weeks but I plan to keep making it pretty often. In fact, I am on my second bag of Kamut Berries. Of course, you can also make this with plain old wheat or spelt berries (or even rye berries), but I …
