~~The new ingredient of the day~~ FENNEL!!!

I'm vowing to try to use at least one new ingredient or spice every week.  There are so many interesting, new, and exciting ingredients that I've shied away from in the past.  NO MORE!  I'm trying EVERYTHING!  And if my family doesn't like it.....too bad!  There is a cupboard full of canned/boxed boring food you can have!  So, today's new ingredient is fennel!  (If you click on the highlighted word it will take you to wisegeek.com and will tell you all about fennel.)  I am roasting it with potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic and a pork tenderloin.  I will share this recipe once I eat it to make sure it is as delicious as it is making my house smell right now!!!!
