Mariel here. We’ve got one more Labor Day dish to throw at you before you duck out for the long weekend. Inspired by the bushels of apples cropping up at a market near you, this Apple-y medley is the illicit lovechild of a Classic Cabbage Coleslaw and a Waldorf Salad. It doesn’t need much of[…]
Roasted Veggie Sandwiches with Sweet Herbed Ricotta
Mariel here. By now I should be a pie crust whiz.

After all, grown ups have to eat too! For kids, simply eliminate the jalapeno pepper and cut the cumin by half, as childrens’ palates[…]
