One of the biggest perks of living in our town is the beautiful community pool. When we lived in Brooklyn, summers were really challenging: It would be 95 degrees, and I'd drag both twins and all their gear and snacks in a stroller to the local public park sprinklers, often only to find whoever was … Continue reading Tomato and Olive Farro Salad

Roasted Salmon With Tomato Caper Vinaigrette
As you know now, I am a late in life fan of salmon. But, despite all its amazing health qualities, it can feel like a heavy meal. It's rich and full of all those great, healthy omega fats.
