Leave the marshmallows at home kids, this sweet potato dish is better without them. Now I too grew up eating sweet potatoes with marshmallows at Thanksgiving so I hold no grudge against the little white fluffy puffs. But this recipe, the brandied raisins, and maple syrup give it all the sweetness and delectability (is that [...]

Thanksgiving Check List
Posted in Vegetarian, baked goods, cooking tips, desserts, holiday, recipes, side dishes, tagged thanksgiving on November 20, 2009 | 4 Comments »
If you haven’t started thinking about what you’re doing to make for Thanksgiving…now would be a good time to start (wink, nudge: there’s less than a week to go!). You have the weekend to plan your meal, create a grocery list and spring into action. I haven’t gone as far as practicing serving the [...]
Basic Balsamic Vinaigrette
Posted in salads, side dishes, tagged balsamic, vinaigrette on November 19, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
It’s the latest trend in our house. I make different vinaigrette’s, they taste great and last for about a week. We eat a salad with almost every dinner so this comes in handy! The best part is that the recipe is super flexible so you could add different vinegars or ingredients to turn out a [...]

Vegetable Potstickers

Some nights, dinner in our house is a bit of a mish-mosh of eating what we have in the house. Recently, we had grilled hot dogs (with the works — relish, mustard and ketchup) served in homemade challah with these potstickers on the side! Perhaps not the most usual combination of side dish and entree, [...]
Soft Pretzels

When these little goodies come out of the oven, beware, you’ll want to eat them all. They’re just so good! James had the smart idea of making pretzel sandwiches for our lunch and I had the good idea of bringing them to work since as good as they are, I don’t want to eat them [...]
Roasted Vegetable Orzo Salad

This past weekend we hosted a salad party. No, it wasn’t lame. And yes we did feel less guilty about eating the desserts. Now that those two questions are out of the way I have to really praise the creativity of what people brought! A Mediterranean chickpea salad, an orzo salad with balsamic vinaigrette and [...]
Mushroom and Stilton Galette
Posted in Vegetarian, dinner, side dishes, tarts, tagged galette, mushroom, stilton on July 29, 2009 | 2 Comments »
So the galette wasn’t quite round or perfectly pleated, but the result was divine. If you like strong cheese and lots of varied mushrooms, start making the dough now. The dough takes the longest since it needs an hour in the freezer and an hour in the fridge. But don’t worry, you can use that [...]
