Corn & Avocado Salad
Boil 2 ears of corn until just cooked. Use a sharp knife to remove kernels, and toss in bowl with one diced avocado, three thinly sliced scallions, and a dressing of olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Mushroom & Farro Salad
This salad, a variation on one I discovered via Freshocracy awhile back, makes an amazing side dish (I served it last night alongside baked chicken with artichoke hearts), but is so good that it would make a fantastic lunch or light dinner all on its lonesome.
Keurigs and Icy Things
I've officially become one of those people who gets all excited about wandering around in the coffee aisle, and who strikes up conversations with total strangers about the relative merits of different varieties of K-Cups. (I know.)
Congdon’s Donuts
When pastries are described to me as "legendary," I am there.
