Shane Hughes, founder and owner of Liberty Delight Farms, traded his Wall Street briefcase for a tractor in Maryland and hasn't looked back since. I caught up with him to discuss his passion for sustainable farming and why it's important to know where your food comes from.

Prosciutto Wrapped Melon

The Girls Luncheon series continues on my YouTube channel with Prosciutto Wrapped Melon! This seriously easy appetizer keeps the hanger at bay, while your guests catch up before the main eating event. My best friend Kari is in the kitchen with me to lend a helping hand. If any of your friends offer to help you before a party, always say yes! Those extra sets of hands always come in HAND-y....(sigh). Dummy-proof recipe below.

Cabbage Rolls

The Healthy Burrito

I love cabbage. I could eat cabbage raw as a snack like chips, seriously. However, to avoid social ridicule I like to find fun ways to utilize cabbage, especially when I receive a plethora of it in my winter CSA shares. I realized I had all of the makings for some stuffed cabbage rolls including homemade sauce - so I went to town and created these beauties! Hope you like it :)

Five Chile Chili

For Chilly Evenings or a Superbowl Touchdown

So it's finally Winter in DC, and Jack Frost is not messing around - it is COLD! I crave comfort food during chilly months and chili is one of my staples. I love how you can dress up the chili differently each time you eat it with a variety of toppings. The version I'm sharing with you is not for the spicy challenged, it has quite a kick that warms you up from the inside! Five chilies simmer together to create a gradual spice component, which does not overwhelm your palette, but does wake up the mouth with every bite. I hope you enjoy it as much as me and hangry bf do!
