I really honestly never thought I’d feel this way about a quinoa salad. But oh-my-dear Citrus Avocado Quinoa Salad with Honey Walnuts, will you marry me? I think you are beautiful and colorful. You are sweet and bright and rich. You’re crisp and creamy and juicy. You are simplistically complex in a nearly impossible way.

Roasted Fennel, Italian Sausage, and Ricotta Pizza
Today we are learning new foods. The rest of the blogosphere is discussing what to make for Christmas dinner, what to wear on New Year’s Eve, and what to resolute on January 1st.
