Blue Chips & Avocado

The Mozza Cookbook

Sometimes it’s the simple things. In this case, it’s a recipe for long-cooked broccoli. Many people hate broccoli. But, I love it. It brings back many fond childhood memories. Many of those memories revolve around a holiday table filled with delicious food cooked with lots […]

The Last of the Peppers

That’s it. Ten cayenne peppers, six hot banana peppers, and a handful of jalapeƱos make up the last of the peppers. We were surprised to find even that many left on the plants. And, they were shockingly healthy and gorgeous. If we’re lucky and it doesn’t freeze, we might get […]
