Weather Update
Yesterday we experienced heavy thunderstorms and hail in the Santa Maria Valley (as well as snowfall in the surrounding mountains). Coupled with the morning frost from today, we are expecting quality issues with some of our specialty vegetables and leafy greens. Cold temperatures will continue through next week with rain in the forecast for next weekend. We will keep monitoring the weather and providing updates as needed.

- Zest of one lemon
- Parmesan cheese (the real stuff!), 1/2 cup (or more if desired)
- Drizzle of olive oil
- Salt and pepper
Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 375F.
2) Drizzle olive oil in a 9 x 13 baking dish. Arrange fennel rounds overlapping along baking dish. Brush tops with additional olive oil.
3) Sprinkle overtop the minced garlic, lemon zest and parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
