We made these delicious black rice bowls at the Run a Luncheonetter Camp in August and served them to the parents at the end of the week. I will absolutley be making this dish again. It is an ideal dish to serve to a large group of people with divergent tastes and dietary restrictions. Whichever topping they choose, it will taste great and look gorgeous!

Salad Rolls with Dipping Sauce
I posted about salad rolls when my sister and I first started writing this blog. But it’s a recipe that bears repeating.

Herb and Amaranth Fritters

Christmas is 5 days off! I really…

I made this soup a few weeks ago when the leaves first started changing and I choose ingredients mostly because of their autumnal colors. It is not typical for me to make food with aesthetics as my primary motivation. Luckily though, the soup turned out to be tasty, as well as visually pleasing! The temperature in…
