We still have asparagus coming up and lots of volunteer salad greens. While it’s great to have the greens they don’t quite fill you up by themselves.

I have previously put shredded carrots in my home simmered spaghetti sauce but this time there was an abundance of shredded sweet potatoes in the fridge to use up. It seems that a certain visiting member of the family got carried away when making Sweet Potato Quesadillas and...
