Porchetta: Porchetta Fest

March 2, 2016 by Judy Lyness 9 Comments

Porchetta

Kale is never my "go to" green, I default to Swiss chard: multicolored, rich in sheen and lovely cooked or raw.  Yet kale was named as THE food theme for FBLA's January meeting.  Yawn.  As much as I adore these meetings I was utterly uninspired as to what dish to bring, let alone what I would want to eat.  Actually, I almost made up an excuse to skip the meeting but I knew that … [Read more...]
