This tastes way more exciting than it sounds. It actually is a great side dish. And, unlike most Jerusalem artichoke dishes, it was quick to make – 25 minutes start to finish.Start with well cleaned Jerusalem artichokes, like the ones from my garden. Oh, did I tell you all that I actually sold 35 pounds of…

check out this great post from YayYay’s Kitchen…Who would you invite to dinner?
In the video below, an interviewer asks couples who they would most like to have dinner with. Then they ask the couples’ children the same question. The children’s answers astonished me… Source: Who would you invite to dinner?
Turkey Tetrazzini
Typically turkey tetrazzini brings to mind a creamy pasta dish, but perhaps one that is a little bland and unexciting. Not so this tetrazzini. Creamy, yes, but it is loaded with flavor, downright delicious!This is a perfect way to totally repurpose leftovers into a brand new star dish. I would almost consider making turkey just…
Challah Project # 18 – Pesto Challah
“I LOVE this Challah!” was Cam’s proclamation. It has been a good week for pleasing my son. A welcome relief after weeks of complaints. The texture of this bread was just how you want a challah to be, soft, fluffy and chewy, with just the right amount of moisture. Although the aroma of pesto is…
Butternut Squash Quiche
I won’t mince words, this is probably the tastiest quiche I have ever made. We learned the other day that roasted vegetables worked will in a strata, so I figured that butternut squash and some other roasted vegetables would work just as well in a quiche. I decided to keep with an orange theme and…
The Challah Project #17 – Maple Syrup Challah
My Valentine’s Challah is a wonderful blend of two posts from Amanda at TheChallahBlog – her Wisconsin Maple Syrup Challah and Heart-Shaped Challah. It is funny, when she made the maple syrup challah, she broke with her practice and did an overnight rise, and when I did it, I did a single rise during the day…
Roasted Winter Vegetable Strata (Jerusalem Artichokes, Brussels Sprouts & Spinach)
My search for new uses for my Jerusalem artichokes led me to an unexpected place today. I had fully planned on making a roasted vegetable and pasta dinner, but then I spied a half loaf of a hearty whole wheat bread I had made sitting on the counter. As you can see, it was a…
Lemon Roasted Green Beans
Another goodie from Highland Orchards – beautiful green beans. This is another recipe that was a hit with 6 year-old Cam – roasted green beans with a hint of lemon and topped with some Parmigiano reggiano. I think he is finally rediscovering his palate. The beans were a very nice side dish with my cornmeal-crusted…
Sourdough Crackers
I decided I had to share these with you since they got really high marks from Cam, my very hard to please 6 year old, with discerning tastes. The cool thing for me about these is they are made with the cup of sourdough starter I would normally discard each week when I feed it….
Broccoli Rabe Pesto and Pasta
On my visit to Highland Orchards I picked up a bunch of their broccoli rabe. I had a Mario Batali recipe for broccoli rabe pesto that I had been wanting to play with, so this seemed like a good opportunity to do that. The color of the finished pesto had to make me smile –…
