With the family home for Thanksgiving break, it was time to make some treats to have for other meals. The first were apple muffins to start off Thanksgiving Day. These muffins come from a recipe I got from a bed and breakfast in Edenton, NC more years ago than I like to remember. The B…

Cauliflower and Sweet Potatoes
In the days leading up to Thanksgiving, I try to make dishes that vary greatly from what I will be serving on Thursday. Sunday was my birthday and we went out for sushi, Tuesday, broccoli kale quiche, Wednesday is Moroccan spaghetti squash. Monday was Indian cauliflower and sweet potatoes, based on a Bal Arneson recipe….
Corn Chowder
Whenever I make Thanksgiving dinner, it always starts with my variation of the corn chowder that my sister-in-law Ginny taught me to make decades ago. It was one of my father’s favorite soups, so it became a fixture in my Thanksgiving meals. Simple and oh, so satisfying. This year I am making it with the…
Rigatoni with Roasted Cauliflower and Brussels Sprouts
I love what roasting does to fall vegetables, it is like casting a magic spell over them, taking to ordinary to extraordinary. Mix them with pasta and some cheese and you have a treat for dinner. And one that is fairly simple and quick to make. I had stopped at the farm store and picked…
Caramel Apple Scones
What do we all need after Halloween and before Thanksgiving? Caramel apple scone! A sweet treat for breakfast, yes, we do need this. Why leave all all the caramel apples behind us? Why wait for another treat until Turkey Day? I think we should all eat good foods that treat us every day! I actually…
Qormeh Sabzi (Green Vegetable and Beef Stew)
This was one of the first Persian dishes I ever ate, and it was in Geneva, Switzerland when I first met the man who was to become my father-in-law. What a wonderful dish and a great way to start my relationship with a wonderful man! It is still one of my favorite Persian dishes, but…
Roasted Cauliflower and Chickpea Salad
I was having a friend over for lunch whom I had never cooked for before, so I wanted to make something interesting but light. We were going kayaking after lunch, so I didn’t want anything heavy that would sit in our stomachs. I had cauliflower in the fridge, so I made a version of the…
Butternut Squash Lasagna
Shout out to Kristin and her blog Iowa Girl Eats for this recipe! It is fabulous! I made it when Arielle & Emily were home (for the hurricane) and the word “delicious” was heard several times during dinner. I make a several different vegetarian lasagnas, but had never made one with butternut squash before. The flavor…
Fresh Lima Beans with Roasted Tomatoes and Artichokes
I stopped at the farm market the other day to pick up some broccoli (Cam is demanding it every day right now) and what did they have at the checkout? Shelled fresh lima beans! Yay! I immediately started tasting Never Say Never Again Lima Beans in my mind. So, into my cart they went. I had…
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread
I love having daughters who like to bake. We are getting spoiled by hearing “what can we make?” whenever they are home. I have already shared posts of Arielle’s zucchini chocolate chip bread, this time it was Emily who came home and wanted to bake. Emily had just made pumpkin bread at school so she…
