I purchased a vegetable box from a local farmer who is offering produce year round-no small feat in Michigan! I decided this soup would be perfect for using the cabbage that came with it. Pin It
Pin ItBrussels Sprouts with Brown Butter
December 16, 2010 By 5 Comments
It was a little weird buying brussels sprouts already off the stem, one row over from asparagus in December. The tag told me it was from California; I had my doubts, but really wanted sprouts and since I’ve been traveling haven’t had a chance to get to the indoor winter farmer’s market. So California sprouts it was.
Winter Minestrone with Turnips, Potatoes, and Kale

This recipe is adapted from The Art of Simple Food: Notes, Lessons, and Recipes from a Delicious Revolution. As much as I don’t want it to be winter yet, I was able to use mostly produce from last week’s CSA pickup.

I’ll bet you can guess the secret ingredient! In the summer, it’s zucchini. In the winter, it can be beets. Because if you add vegetables, it cancels out all the calories, right?

I cheaped out and used regular walnuts instead of black walnuts for this recipe from Simply in Season. But I did get a chance to actually use my Cooks Illustrated online subscription because it didn’t include a recipe for the frosting. It turned out great!

This is one of the recipes I made for the potluck at the Franklin Farm. DH was quite disappointed that he wasn’t going, but he did get some leftovers.

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.

“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

Skip the drive-thru, those overly salty grease sticks can’t compare to homemade sweet potato fries!
Golden Carrot Bake

This is another recipe from Simply in Season that I probably would have never made. Carrot bake? Um, OK. Plus it takes like an hour to bake AFTER simmering for 25 minutes. Not exactly weeknight fare. So I resigned myself to making it on a Sunday evening. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised!
