Roasted Tomato Soup & Grilled Cheese
We survived the hurricane without any damage beyond getting a little stir-crazy, so I have to feel pretty grateful. We didn’t lose power or have any terrible flooding, but all we could do for days was watch the damage on TV. Of course, one of my first plans of action was to get to work … Continue reading
Favorite Fall Recipes
While we are in the midst of trying to sell the apartment, I’ve been falling back on old favorites. Last night, I made a version of this Puglian specialty, orecchiette with broccoli rabe and sausageĀ and every time I make it, it brings me back to a night in southern Puglia. The meatiness of the sausage … Continue reading
Roasted Thyme Tomatoes
I love heirloom cherry tomatoes from the farmer’s market. They are so sweet and flavorful, and I love to make a big batch of these slow-roasted tomatoes and keep them in the fridge to toss in everything. They’re also fabulous on their own, just on a couple slices of toasted baguette. The olive oil mixes … Continue reading
Ginger Glazed Salmon
I think this may be my favorite salmon recipe. It’s certainly one of the most memorable ones, and I’m already craving it again. The ginger and sweet glaze is such a perfect complement to the salmon, and it’s surprisingly easy. Roasting it at a low temperature keeps the fat from rendering out of the fish, … Continue reading
Roasted Garlic Crostini
Roasted garlic is so easy and useful in many ways. It can be spread on bread to make a simple crostini, or it can be an ingredient in pizzas, pastas, chicken, vegetables– the list is endless. It makes the garlic taste sweeter and more flavorful, and removes the bitter bite garlic can sometimes have. Roasted … Continue reading
Moroccan Lamb Soup
After more than a week of eating healthy, this soup tasted so great with just a little ground lamb. I’ve started craving carbs, but not meat– until I started smelling this meat cooking. Because it had been a while, the soup was even more satisfying. I don’t cook a lot with all these spices, so … Continue reading
Roasted Butternut Squash Cannelloni with Blue Cheese
As part of my pre-Thanksgiving feast, I made homemade roasted butternut squash ravioli and I hand-rolled the pasta. Of course, I ended up with a lot of filling and I was tired of rolling out the pasta sheets. So, instead of making extra ravioli I made some cannelloni later on. Cover them with a … Continue reading
Stuffing and Turkey Roulade
Well, it’s time for the pre-Thanksgiving round-up. After several lovely meals for the holiday, I can say I’m done with turkey until next year. Not including turkey sandwiches or ground turkey. But the whole bird…I’ve had enough for a while. I thought we were getting a de-boned and butterflied turkey breast from the butcher, but … Continue reading
Roasted Carrot and Butternut Squash Lasagna
I can’t decide what kind of lasagna I like best. I love the traditional meat one as well as my favorite mushroom lasagna. I also make one with veggies that’s pretty delicious. This one is definitely up there. It’s a little sweet, a little salty. Perfect for the first real week of fall. We’re starting … Continue reading
Roasted Potatoes with Rosemary and Parmesan
As you may know by now, I love to roast things. You put them on a sheet tray and forget about them, and then you pull them out and they’ve got lovely, browned flavor. It’s so easy. And the flavors get concentrated by the nature of roasting. Potatoes work really well for roasting, and … Continue reading
