I am in a soup mood. It has been a few years since I have been in a soup mood. What does it mean to be in a soup mood? Soups, and lots of them. My family must brace for many dinners of soups and stews. First up for the blog… Yotam Ottolenghi’s Red Lentil and…

Breaded Cauliflower with Sriracha Dipping Sauce
We had just a little bit more of the local cauliflower left, just enough for a taste treat. So I decided to try another version of roasted cauliflower, this time breaded. And as a treat, a spicy dipping sauce to go with it. It was a fun change from my typical roasted cauliflower; and fun…
Roasted Vegetable Tart and Quiche
Two versions tonight – why? I roasted a lot of vegetables and my pastry crust was not big enough, so I also pulled out a pre-made pie crust and made a quiche. Each was worth making individually, so I have included both. Some in the family preferred the quiche… Others the tart… Roasted Vegetable Filling…
Cabbage, Onion & Millet Kugel
Two of our daughters may need to go gluten free, so I have been trying out some alternative dishes. Tonight it was a kugel based on millet. I love cabbage (as I know I write every time I cook it). This dish did not disappoint. The creaminess of the cottage cheese combined with the richness…
Kale and Sweet Potato Taco Salad – Vegetarian
Finally, a kale salad that is definitely worth writing home about! I will be honest, I had low expectations of this, but it was great, really fun and enjoyable to eat. I think there were 2 key points, how well massaged the kale was and the crunch of the tortilla chips. The big surprise was…
Open-Faced Roasted Vegetable Egg Sandwich – or what to do with leftover roasted vegetables?
Roasted vegetables, one of the greatest gifts of fall and winter. My family loves roasted vegetables, especially cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts and winter squash. But we have also added leeks to our list of veggies to roast, they are particularly sweet when roasted. Typically we eat every last piece, but on rare occasions we do…
Ina Garten’s Cranberry and Apple Cake
I feel very lucky, not only to get local eggs, but also to personally know the chickens that lay my eggs. Thank you Farmer Kim for this great picture. They are Wyandottes, a heritage breed from the 1800’s. My dog was so intrigued by them on our last visit, he tried to go into their…
Japanese Vegetable Pancake Latkes
I make these latkes when I am craving vegetables and still feeling the need to do the Hanukah olive oil ‘thing.’ I love them. The recipe comes from Smitten Kitchen, to make it more latke-like and less pancake-y I have reduced the eggs to 4. The original recipe calls for 6, I like that as well….
Potato Latkes with Pepper Jack Cheese
I thought I was done with innovative ways to make yummy potato latkes last year when I did the golden latkes with turmeric. But then I saw a little blurb in Food Network Magazine’s 50 cheese appetizers for pepper jack latkes. Ooh, that was intriguing. These vie with the spinach, potato and feta latkes for my…
Patatas Bravas
Emily was home today, so we had a “Remember Barcelona” day. We had Barcelona Hot Chocolate with the Spanish chocolate I brought home. It is made with milk and coffee and flavored with orange peel. Not too sweet and oh so delicious! Here’s Arielle enjoying some back in Barcelona. For dinner we made some Patatas…
