Winter's Citrus Recipes

Citrus offers sunshine in every which way. Visually they offer a range of golden hues to combat the winter blues. In a bite they flood our palate with freshness and juice that chase away the dreariness of rain, sleet & snow. And the way they smell? They perfume our kitchens, our foods and our bedrooms, as if the sunshine they absorbed in beating directly on us.

Maple-Orange Wings

Visit your local grocer and add citrus to your home in any manner that appeals to you. I will be contemplating my bowl of mandarin oranges, Meyer lemons, pink grapefruits & navel oranges and planning how to add them to my salads, roasts, cakes and more.

Simple Pleasures are the Best!

This fall treat yourself: spend a crisp, golden day at an apple orchard. Reach up into a tree laden with candy red apples and give it a hard twist. Rub that apple on your sleeve until shiny and fragrant and then sink your teeth into that fresh fruit, licking the juices as they run down your chin. Apples… so elementary, so deliciously rewarding. Simple pleasures are the best!
