December! Happy holiday season to you. The past month has been full of family time and getting warm and cozy. I went on a Veganomicon bender and enjoyed some hearty comfort food inspired by two of my favorite cookbook authors, Terry and Isa.
Leek and Bean Cassoulet with Biscuits
Portobello Piccata with Olives and Green Beans
served on mashed potatoes
As soon as it got cold I couldn't get enough hearty, warm food. Happens every winter. This week I'm getting the balance back with fresh fruit (persimmons!) and big salads.
Look at how beautiful my neighborhood was last month. I enjoyed many long walks.
Happy Tuesday and I hope your December is off to a festive start.
