The Chef: AbbyThe Menu: Whole Wheat Penne with San Marzano Tomatoes, courtesy of The Conscious Cook. This flavorful sauce starred sautéed onions and fennel, Swiss chard, Manzanilla olives, tomatoes, and the perfect blend of herbs and spices. The fragrant vegetable-filled sauce topped off a healthy serving of penne, garnished with fresh parsley. Our favorite, the always-delicious kale salad, made a guest appearance with ripe cherry tomatoes and a squeeze of lemon.

Favorite comfort food? Soup! I love soup, and would have it any time of the year, but it's especially good on a brisk Fall day! I usually put so much stuff in my soups that they end up very thick and nourishing. With a piece of homemade bread, it makes for the perfect yummy comforting meal.
