Creamy, buttery, peppery goodness is the ONLY way to describe this elegant French snack that you can enjoy during spring when radishes are at their peak!
This snack is inspired by my father. He shared wisdom in so many aspects of life, but especially when it came to slowing down to enjoy meals with family and to savor the food and the freshest ingredients!

I recently posted how to make preserved lemons. Here is how I use them for this tangy, savory preserved lemon dressing. You’ll never go back to basic dressing again! Or you’ll be finding excuses to make salads to use this dressing

I love artichokes! Do you? Here are some of my recipes I’ve made with artichokes. I’ve also been getting more creative with substitutes. I used gluten free spaghetti for the first recipe and tossed it with artichoke hearts and green peas! The perfect way to incorporate in-season spring vegetables!
Which one would you like to try?

What is the difference between broth and stock?
Broth is made from meat and veggies and stock is made with meat, veggies and the addition of bones. Broths are quite flavorful and add a delicious layer of flavor to, well, everything! I make broth occasionally because it takes less time to cook and is typically thinner than stock.
For extra dark rich broth, do not peel the onions. The peels are what give the stock its rich, amber hue!

Meyer lemons are shiny with smooth skin and have a more floral note with less acidity than regular lemons.
They’re perfect to preserve. They taste great in dressings, cocktails and sautéed with garlic. They are sweet enough to eat plan and are a wonderful addition in cakes and pies.

Do you plan meals?
I spend a few minutes each Saturday or Sunday to take inventory of the ingredients on hand to meal plan for the week. I also review the weather and the weeks activities and use this information to plan our dinners. I prepare enough to be sure we have leftovers for lunch. Here is what we will be eating this week. It’s a little more meat- centric than we usually eat, but I accidentally defrosted a whole ribeye roast🤪The temperature will be in the 40s and low 50s this week so I’ll be making a pot roast and yummy Ramen soup to stay warm during T’s chili, early spring nights. The most complicated recipe this week, will be the chicken with greens and peanut butter stew but it’s worth all the chopping. You can find all of these recipes at verysmartideas.com Have an awesome Sunday 🤙🏻❤️ ~ Gigi.
