Potato and Celery Root Croquettes
These are so fricken good! I love the flavor of celery root – definitely underrated. The croquettes may take you a few tries, since the mass is a moist and sticky, which can make the dredging difficult if you’re a novice. But it is so …
Blood Orange Side Salad
This salad is an Aggie original. You can pretty much put anything in a salad and the same goes for a vinaigrette, which is a lot easier to make than you think. I’ve made many variations of this salad often adding apples or making a …

Corn and Ham Salad
I saw some beautiful corn ears at the market, and decided to make this filling yet refreshing salad. It’s great instead of a potato salad for summer picnics and bbq’s. I also like a small portion as breakfast. You can use canned corn or cook …
