An easy recipe to throw together, full of bold flavors — butternut squash, maple, bacon, garlic, cinnamon, cayenne and thyme. ~~~ Roasted winter squash goes so well with leafy greens – kale, collards, spinach, or any of the other greens you can find in the farmers market right now. I don’t really have a recipe, …
I’m gratined out. In the last few weeks, I’ve made several. Some have been winners, like this one and the Sweet Potato and Kale Gratin. Some have been just okay, so no need to share. This gratin has been a hit in our house. I found the original recipe on the Elly Says Opa! blog …
Kale and sweet potato are two bold ingredients most of us love. Baked together in this gratin recipe with onion, garlic, and a cheese sauce, they become even more beloved. ~~~ In the past two weeks, we’ve received twenty pounds of sweet potatoes and a few bags of kale from our CSA, In Good Heart …
A few weeks ago, we got two small bulbs of fennel and a pretty head of radicchio in our CSA share from In Good Heart Farm. The radicchio was a pale green head with flecks of cranberry, not the usual cranberry head with veins of white. I had just seen this salad recipe from The …
I’ve been receiving Cook’s Illustrated magazine for more than a decade thanks to a yearly Christmas subscription from my parents. I don’t throw away the old issues because I keep going back to them. The recipes never fail. In fact, they are usually sensational. Last month, I cooked several recipes from the September/October issues. They …
In my continuing quest to use up all the zucchini that comes my way, here’s a recipe I first made during last year’s zucchini season: zucchini scallion pancakes with a spicy and sweet soy dipping sauce. Like zucchini tots, these pancakes are a great way to disguise zucchini. I served them alongside hoisin chicken with …
You know it’s zucchini season when you go to the farm to pick up your CSA share and instead of saying, “Take 2 pounds,” the sign on the box of zucchini says, “Take as much as you want.” And then, a bag of zucchini from your step-daughter’s vegetable garden magically shows up on your kitchen …
The chameleon of the kitchen, cauliflower, is the star of this “faux fried” rice recipe. Use whatever vegetables are lurking in your refrigerator or freezer. You might never go back to white rice again! ~~~ I am so wowed by this dish that I’m inspired to come back and start blogging on Gusto again. Yes, …
Quick, before all the summer squash is picked, try this “pasta.” Ok, it’s not really a pasta; it just sort of looks that way. I’ve seen pseudo-pasta recipes before, usually for spaghetti squash. In colder seasons, when I’m getting tired of butternut squash, acorn squash, and their winter squash cousins, I often make an Italian …
I went on vacation and forgot all about my blog. Sorry, Gusto. We went to Moab where we hiked in Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park, mountain biked in Dead Horse Point State Park, and spent a day on a whitewater raft in Westwater Canyon on the Colorado River. Best vacation ever. Exhausting but …
