Pappardelle with Summer Vegetables

Roasted Butternut Squash with Browned Butter and Hazelnuts

Strawberry Galette
Finally, it’s strawberry season. I don’t think it is a coincidence that peak season for strawberries and Mothers’ Day coincides. I always think strawberries are Mother Nature’s gift to Mothers.

Did anyone watch Tom Collicchio documentary regarding food waste? He said that Americans are so wasteful that it is like dropping one of four bags of groceries in the parking lot and not bothering to pick them up. He also said was we buy too much at a time.
