I hesitate to call this a recipe because…well…it isn’t. It’s basically a guideline of how I make my veggie stock. I’ve been doing this for about a year and a half now, and I’m so frustrated at myself that I didn’t start doing it earlier, because I’ve wasted a lot of money on store-bought vegetable [...]

About three weeks ago Pete and I emptied our entire chest freezer to take stock of what we had in there. (The idea of me keeping track of what we had as I put it in was noble, but misguided. Who was I kidding!?) It was a surprising list, in that I had much more [...]
