ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES

March 15, 2018

Making these gives me automatic warm, cozy feelings. I make a roast vegetable for a side all the time, but making a batch with a mix of different ones (instead of just making a bigger serving of one type of vegetable) makes the meal feel grander. These are one for holiday dinners and potlucks, ok and also just those winter nights in. So simple and tasty, FULL COMFORT FOOD MODE. And if it weren’t enough here’s a recipe for transporting them on to a very lovely pizza.

Roasted Root Vegetables
Serves five to six

1 butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed
8 red potatoes, quartered
1 red onions, quartered
8 carrots, quartered
5 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper
4 rosemary sprigs

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Toss vegetables with olive oil, salt, pepper, and rosemary sprigs.

Arrange vegetables on a lined baking sheet.

Roast for 50 minutes, tossing halfway.

ASIAN SLAW SALAD

February 28, 2018

Honestly this is just the lightest, freshest thing you have ever tasted. And then with some zip and spice too. It’s good as is for a side or lunch serving. But I can’t help myself and often shred up some chicken which makes me like this even more. This recipe uses a really neat way to make the onion and carrot feel sweet and tart like they’re pickled, but in a short amount of time. Just some vinegar, a dash of salt, and boiling water. It takes about three minutes to get it going and you have tasty pickled onion and carrot, while you’re making everything else.

It’s an all time favorite salad! And the side salad of choice for an asian entree.

APPLE FRITTER QUICK BREAD

February 17, 2018

I like making quick breads in bundt pans because I think it is the largest quantity of servings for the least maintenance of a pan. Muffins are a bit high maintenance for greasing and cleaning the pan. Loaf pans are better, but I think a bundt pan is the largest and the fastest. For this reason I like breakfasts bread recipes that are written for a bundt pan for weekday breakfasts.

This quick bread is a beloved one because it’s like an apple fritter. Or you could even make apple-upside-down cake comparisons. It is incredible warm from the often and beloved to make during autumn.

APPLE FRITTER QUICK BREAD
Serves twelve

5 apples, peeled and sliced thinly
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 cup brown sugar
3 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 cups applesauce
1/2 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup apple cider or milk
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place apples in a stand mixer bowl with cinnamon and brown sugar and mix. I like to let the apples get broken up and be a bit more piece-y, but you can also stir lightly and keep them as whole slices. Place apples into base of a greased bundt pan.

In a stand mixer, stir together flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, nutmeg, applesauce, butter, apple cider, eggs, and vanilla.

Pour batter over apples in bundt pan. Bake for 60 minutes. Allow to cool before turning out and slicing.
