Cellentani with broccoli and green onions in peanut sauce – 9/30/16

John was too full for a proper dinner tonight since he ate one of containers of  leftover Moroccan chickpeas with chard for a late lunch. My lunch was somewhat smaller so I decided to go with the dinner on my menu … Continue reading

Cannellini bean stew – 9/11/16
