FRESH CORN AND MANGO SALAD

Anyone who has suffered with food allergies or sensitivities understands how difficult it can be to receive a definitive diagnosis and then move towards wellness – one step forward, two steps back; when it’s your child in the mix, the ante is upped big time.

BLOOMINGTON BITES – BLACKBERRY, JICAMA & APPLE SALAD

Musical pairing – Englishman in New York by Sting Alien Encounters: Jicama – There’s no doubt about it: Jicama (HIH-kih-muh) can be quite intimidating.

BLOOMINGTON BITES: ROASTED BEETS W/ORANGE SLICES

Musical pairing – Beat It by Cris Delanno An Ode to Color – My favorite thing about beets is their color. Just sliced into, they reveal shocking jewel-bright shades of burgundy and topaz and saffron.
