Earlier this week, I was delighted to discover a delicious, simple recipe for roasted cabbage.

The dark days of winter have almost passed. While I enjoy the yearly chance to hibernate, I love to see the light dawning when I wake and be able to ride home without bike lights when I finish for the day.
