I will admit to being a bit apprehensive about attempting paella. This dish is so rich in tradition and is thought of by many as the national dish of Spain for goodness sakes. With the list of expensive ingredients (and I did an abridged version) I did not want to...
In my ongoing quest to discover recipes low in fat and high in protein, fiber and nutrients, I came across this one. While it’s not necessarily what I would term “soup weather” in New England right now, this really doesn’t heat up the kitchen all that much, and it’s packed...
