Can you believe I STILL have sweet potatoes from my garden?! Whether it really was a good harvest or just the fact that I took 8 weeks off from cooking during my campaign, I am not sure. But here is what part of the harvest looked like. We got some nice brussels sprouts this week,…

Roasted Jerusalem Artichokes, Sweet Potatoes, Brussels Sprouts and Broccoli
The Jerusalem artichokes from my garden met some friends… They decided to all be roasted together, And then bake together with some eggs in order to provide us with a delicious meal. We love roasted Jerusalem artichokes and other vegetables. It is such a versatile method of cooking them, there are so many ways to use…
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…
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…
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…
Really Yummy Brussels Sprouts for Two

One winter vegetable I never seem to tire of, however, is Brussels Sprouts. I love roasted Brussels sprouts, pan seared, steamed; I have even been…
Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Balsamic Honey
All the vegetable dishes were a hit at our Thanksgiving dinner, but none was devoured as much as the Brussels sprouts. Surprising? Not to me, I love Brussels sprouts. But usually I get to eat most of them myself. Not this time; they ended up with the least leftovers of anything- even less than the…
Roasted Vegetables as the Solution to Leftovers
Tonight was a scrounging-through-the-fridge night. What to make for dinner? So many leftover ingredients…cabbage, brussels sprouts, roast chicken, rice, and…the treat I found in the freezer – I had cubed and frozen half of one of the butternut squash from my garden in the fall! I had totally forgotten about it. So, this sounded like…
Brussels Sprout and Salami Grilled Cheese
Brussels sprouts, the quintessential winter veggie. One of my favorites. Salami, I can’t remember a time when I did not love good salami. Grilled cheese, comfort food you can hold in your hand. Bring them all together, add a salad and it is a fairly quick, simple, tasty dinner. We added a carrot-peas salad, adding…
Sauteed Brussels Sprouts Chiffonade
Have I told you that I love Brussels sprouts? Yes, I know, probably every time I post a Brussels sprout recipe. I can’t help it, I love these little guys. I think it started with the dollhouse aspect; they are the just the right size to be cabbages for Barbie dolls. Growing them, however, continues…
