Roasted Brussels Sprout & Quinoa Salad
Duke’s Beach House in Maui serves a side dish of Brussels sprouts and red quinoa which I found by accident. This inexpensive $6.00 dish is hidden in small print with the 5 Cheese Mac and Cheese, Creamed Maui Corn and Bok Choy almost as an after thought. But I swear it is my favorite dish…
Baby Lettuce, Blue Cheese and Bacon Wedge Salad

It’s time to find an organic Spring/Summer CSA, Community Supported Agriculture
I don’t know about you but I’m getting tired of the limited fresh produce options this winter.
