Spring Ahead


I am so ready for Spring. Aren't you? And, as much as I like hearty comfort food, I am getting tired of cooking and eating it.

For dinner tonight I was looking for something relatively quick, flavorful and a change from the normal routine.   I scouted the refrigerator and came up with a container of cremini mushrooms almost at the stage when they are just longing for a home; the end of a once vibrant bunch of parsley; and one lonely lemon.

  1. I have never eaten farro, but I imagine it tastes wonderful with roasted mushrooms and parmesan. And those clementines...be still my heart.

  4. Hi Michele---it's been a while since I've been able to visit your virtual kitchen--and what tasty things you've been cooking up. I love farro, and your recipe looks terrific. Yes, I think we are all ready for spring, and I'm grateful I had a tropical vacation to help break up the winter drear.

  5. Been craving farro - but settled for the brown Jasmine rice I had in my pantry. Every dish you put out here really is like a breath of fresh Spring air and inspires creativity in the kitchen. Seriously.
