Bento Box- Mochiko Chicken, Rice and Miso Slaw
I spent the second half of my childhood in Hawaii. There are certain local foods that I will never stop craving. I’ve figured out how to make a few of them.

Pickled Red Cabbage
Yesterday was the last pickup for our Farmshare until the Spring. I was thrilled to receive more red cabbage. My body loves this delicious stuff. My fellow CSA members seemed less excited.
