Ina Garten's Recipe

Ripped from NYT Cooking, which hides behind a paywall so will not pin to Pinterest for ease of reference, therefore I am posting here. Quick, easy and delicious!! Nothing cooks ahead of time, so it comes together easily, just amazing. I use dairy case pizza dough, simple. Do I wish you could smell this! YES!!! The cream sauce is light and the spices--garlic, lemon, nutmeg, Parmesan and red pepper--are perfect. Yes it looks like a lot of kale but it shrinks dramatically when

I am so addicted to these. The crust is like a chewy shortbread cookie and the custard goo on top is the best sweet/tart treat EVER. Of course, head to the Farmer’s Market and score yourself some fresh spears of rhubarb!! These are my favorite treats to make when rhubarb is fresh, but I also freeze enough (in 4 cup bags) to make this year round! If you use frozen rhubarb, just thaw it out and pat it dry in a paper towel to reduce the moisture. Here you go: Ingredients: For t

Spring is your moment to forage these nutritious greens from your property or the woods. Dandelions pack a whole lot of vitamins and minerals into a small plant. They're probably the most nutritionally dense green you can eat — outstripping even kale or spinach. Dandelion greens, in particular, are a great source of vitamins and minerals such as: Vitamins A, C and K. Forage them fresh and young and before blooms form. Whirr up into delicious green smoothies or add to salads
