My plans…

Fennel
My husband just got back from Italy and enjoyed Fennel and Tomato Salad, so maybe I’ll try one of those.
But I have to say this Baked Fennel with Parmesan and Thyme looks yummy.

Kale
Here is a link for Seven Kale Recipes from around the world. The Braised Tuscan Kale is the one that interests me. I recall saying that in the spring as well. Maybe I’ll get to trying it this time.

Potatoes
In the current Everyday Food issue (77) there is a recipe for Muffin Pan Gratins. I think they look cute, maybe kid friendly, and I think I’ll give them a try.

Red Cabbage
I remember that we enjoyed this recipe for Sauteed Brussels Sprouts and Red Cabbage last year.

Sweet Potatoes
When I was digging around for Sweet Potatoes ideas a couple weeks ago I came across this recipe for Lime Cilantro Sweet Potatoes – I can’t wait to try it.

Tomatoes
I feel all this pressure to use the tomatoes in a stupendous way while we still have them. I looked through my tomato recipe ideas and saw this Tomato and Chorizo Salad.
