Drink your vegies!

I have been on a cooking jag lately…it is quite strange for me to cook so much when it is so warm, but I guess the way I cook is casual enough that it isn’t very stressful.  Plus with our “mystery project” I am staying home more to be available for questions and to manage the dogs. At the top of the post is my first pot of peruano beans.  I made them with onion, carrot, garlic, and yellow pepper....

It’s the Olimpiada Nacional
