I made the rhubarb compote last night, and had it with greek yogurt. Yum! I have to say I was nervous about the orange-ginger-rhubarb combination, but it's delicious.

An avocado-cannellini bean-red onion salad with vinaigrette! The cannellini beans are creamy, as is the avocado. Just be careful to add the chopped avocado after mixing together the b...

Beautiful photographs! I love the colors and the light. The yellow flowers and the pulled out chair in the dining room are so inviting - it's so easy to imagine walking into the photo...
