I couldn’t let egg week go by without mentioning omelets! They are so yummy, and not as difficult to make as one might think.

Potato Leek Quiche
October 29, 2009 By 4 Comments
Warning: Do not make this on an empty stomach! The smell will drive you crazy while it bakes. This recipe is from the Spring Quiche Trio pages of Simply in Season. I’ve noticed that many of the vegetables available in the spring are also prevalent in the fall. In fact, the leeks were from today’s CSA pickup! The last pickup of the season, sniff. I used the potato crust recipe, which is super easy – coarsely grate 3 C of {Read More}

Roasted Cauliflower and Sprouts
October 28, 2009 By 3 Comments
For this recipe, I used a romanesca cauliflower. It’s a fascinating looking vegetable, and DH couldn’t wait to try it. The night before, cut the cauliflower into 1 inch florets, halve the brussels sprouts, drizzle with 2 T olive oil and mix. Then, add 3 cloves of thinly sliced garlic, 1/2 tsp of rosemary, and 1/2 tsp pepper. The next evening, preheat the oven to 450F, sprinkle with salt, and bake in a single layer for 15-20 minutes (until they’re {Read More}

Liberian Pumpkin with Cock Sauce
October 25, 2009 By Leave a Comment
Even though I’ve been cooking for two months now, my idea of what is “a cinch to throw together” is still miles away from what the editors at Simply in Season consider “a cinch to throw together.” First, for this recipe, one must peel and cube 2-3 C of butternut squash (or you can use pumpkin). I usually peel my butternuts with a vegetable peeler, as a knife is tricky to maneuver. Then, you have to chop an onion and {Read More}
Broccoli Gratin

Today I brought the ingredients to make Simply in Season’s Broccoli Gratin to my mom’s house for Sunday dinner. Imagine my surprise to arrive and discover that her main dish was very similar to this – she was making a broccoli/chicken bake. I decided to go ahead and make my side dish so that we could compare the two. For my version: 5-6 C broccoli or cauliflower (I used broccoli). Steam until just crisp-tender and set aside. I did this {Read More}
Broccoli Salad
October 25, 2009 By 6 Comments
Potlucks are funny. You never know what you’re gonna get, which I guess is the point. There is a garbage disposal service in our area called “Potluck Pickup.” At my old church, which had lots of older ladies, the potlucks were divine. At my current church, which is mostly 20 & 30 somethings, chips and dip and potato salad from the deli are more common. DH was invited to a party, and he asked me to make the pumpkin bread {Read More}
Herbed Broccoli Sandwich
October 24, 2009 By 2 Comments
I know, a BROCCOLI sandwich? This is another one of those Simply in Season recipes that made me think “you’ve got to be kidding me, Gladys in Pennsylvania. ” But since I had a lot of broccoli from the farmer’s market I thought why not give it a try. Besides, I needed something to go with the gingery butternut soup. I halved the recipe just in case. I chopped 1 C of broccoli in the food chopper, 1/4 C of {Read More}
