Brown Butter Parmesan Orzo

This Brown Butter Parmesan Orzo is a perfect companion for almost anything but especially my Chicken Piccata.

Apple-Butternut Squash Soup with Bacon

November 25, 2014 By info@valerieskeepers.com Leave a Comment

One of my favorite things is going to the Farmer’s Market. I’m lucky to live near the Jean-Talon Market in Montreal, one of the oldest public markets in Montreal and one of the largest in North America.  You won’t only find fruits and vegetable there, but also meat, fish, flowers, spices and baked goods. I go every week,…
