A Hint of Red

Wow, just had my first taste of celeriac... and I've got to tell you, it won't be my last. Really interesting flavor and blends very in this dish.  My favorite part of this dish, though, was the tiny bits of reddish pink chard stem. Very pretty!

My Favorite Pot

        Possibly the best gift I have ever given myself... a mini steamer pot.

I LOVE this beautiful little magic maker and use it for nearly every rainbow meal I make. It is the perfect size for single servings and is easy to travel with.  When making meals at home, I use it as a steamer to prepare meals, and when traveling, I use the bottom pot to reheat frozen meals and soups.

I highly recommend getting your hands on one of these when you start making these meals full-time. The one I use is a 1Qt pot.
