Save it from the heap!

Today I’m adding three new recipes to the site. All of them feature star ingredients which you might be in the habit of tossing out. Have your Valentine’s Day roses lost their shine? Consider repurposing them to make a traditional Turkish drink. It’s delicious and fun! Likewise your orange peels and broccoli stems. They deserve so much better than the compost heap!

ROSE PETALS: Rose sherbet
BROCCOLI STEM: Stir-fried broccoli stem
ORANGE PEEL: Dark chocolate orange truffels

Eat more vegetables part I: simple soups

Lets be honest: January is a bad time for self-improvement. I would do better if my New Year’s resolutions could start in May when a jog in the forest is a lot less cold and muddy and bright spring greens at the market arouse thoughts of gorgeous salads. In the spirit of totally achievable resolutions for right now, here are two posts with easy, tasty, vegetable-based comfort foods.

SWEET POTATO: Roasted sweet potato soup
BROCCOLI: Broccoli cheese soup
CARROT: Carrot-ginger soup
