Indian Roasted Potato Salad with Swiss Chard
Now this is a salad. But not like salad salad. More like SALAD, BABY. Actually, when I made it, Aaron and I tasted it together and I said, “It’s hearty! Definitely could be a side dish.” But he spoke right at the same time and said, “Whoa! This is definitely more like a salad.” So […]

Sadly, it was a long time coming, with a failing this and an ailing that. But it was the unexpected diagnosis of pancreatic cancer that took […]
