CSA Veggies and Chicken

Portuguese Linguiça and Kale Soup
I recently made my Kale and Black Bean soup, and my step-father got very excited – apparently it tasted almost the way his father’s Linguiça and Kale soup had tasted. So, I listened to his suggestions, and ended up with this soup. I recently served this to several relatives at a family party, [...]

Pulled pork for the masses
