TFD’s California Turkey Burger with Fried Onions and Butternut Squash Chips
This one is for Aimee, as since our relationship began, beef hasn’t really been on the menu much in our house. For ecological reasons, Aimee doesn’t eat cow – a stance that I respect and admire, though one that does have me missing a good steak every now and then. In any case, we use [...]
Vegetarian Eggplant Panini with Sweet Eggplant Pesto and Garlic Aioli
