Posted on March 5, 2011 by Teresa

Sometimes the very best things begin as accidents. Like tonight’s dinner. I planned to make Whole Living’s mushroom, spinach and scallion tart. But, I didn’t have scallions on hand and forgot to defrost the phyllo dough. Ugh! So, I improvised. … Continue reading →
