Fennel Roasted With Tomato Sauce
Fennel has never looked so good. We kind of just want to take a picture of it, make a huge print and put it on our wall. Oh, and we also want to eat it. The dish, not the picture, in case that wasn’t clear. (via Dine and Dash)
One Hour Vegan Pot Pies
Is there anything cuter than individual pot pies? We think not. (via Minimalist Baker)
