Marrakesh Lamb Stew

Marrakesh Lamb Stew

One of my favorite recipes from Simply in Season, this recipe is an excellent example of a stew. Don’t let the long list of spices turn you off – it goes together rather quickly.

Chickpea & Colored-Carrot Couscous

When I saw this recipe in one of my old Clean Eating Magazines (July/August 2010), I thought “aha! What a good way to use up the carrots that have been hiding in my refrigerator.”

Winter Borscht

No, it’s not winter (even though it feels like autumn outside!) I was pleased that I could use many of my CSA vegetables for this stew.

Vegetable Vindaloo

I’ve made this recipe from Simply in Season before (way before I started this blog). It didn’t turn out as well as I remembered – read to find out why!

Coleslaw with Fennel

Although listed as a winter recipe in Simply in Season, I actually used spring vegetables–all from tonight’s CSA pickup–for this side dish. The cabbages are mini cabbages, which I love since they are the perfect size.

Nova Scotia Hodgepodge

OK, seriously? I have eaten more soup since starting this project than I think I ever have in my entire lifetime. Did you know there are 40 soups and stews in Simply in Season. I’ve made 32. That means I have 8 more to go. With the weather in the upper 90s (that’s 35 celcius for my Canadian readers) I am starting to doubt my resilience to finishing this project. But for now, I’m carrying on.

Savory Tempeh and Vegetables

It was with much fear and trepidation that I made this recipe from Simply in Season. But hey, I made a deal with myself – do all the recipes, except the cranberry ones (I’m allergic) and those featuring ingredients I couldn’t find locally (persimmons being one). I had never eaten tempeh or kombu that I’m aware of. Here’s how it went.   FOR PRINTABLE VERSION CLICK HERE: Savory Tempeh and Vegetables 2 Tbs butter 2 Tbs olive oil 4 strips {Read More}

Taco Filling (with Vegetables!)

When I saw another recipe for taco filling in Simply in Season, I wondered why. I mean, how many taco recipes does one need? But this lightened-up version is just the ticket to sneaking vegetables into your family’s dinner.

Apple Carrot Salad

Another one of the recipes from Simply in Season that I looked at and said “huh?” But I’m glad I tried it, as this simple salad is refreshingly good.

Curried Vegetable Bisque

“Are you making chicken vindaloo?” DH asked when I was making this. “Nope!” I said. But it sure did smell like an Indian restaurant when I was making this! The aromatic vegetables were just heavenly, even before I added the spices. Mmmm. Pin It
