Prior to late last year, I had never bought fennel myself. I’ve had it in restaurants, even on purpose sometimes, but had never had to pick a bulb out for home consumption, and had certainly never made a raw salad out of fennel. But that all changed after being invited to a friend’s house for […]
Brussels Sprouts Coleslaw
Roasting vegetables is great and can accommodate all sorts of options, but sometimes I’m not in the mood for cooked vegetables and would prefer something a little lighter. Which is why I started looking around for another recipe similar to my Tomato Cucumber Salad recipe, which is light, cold and simply a tasty combo of […]
Aloo Gobi Inspired Stew
I’m not going to even pretend that I can make an authentic Aloo Gobi stew or soup, the famous Indian potato and cauliflower dish, but I do feel pretty safe thinking this dish is close enough that I’m happy to make it at home when I am in the mood. Close enough for me. I’ve […]
Sugar Snap Peas On The Stove
Once again I find myself publishing a short post, more as reminder to myself and a quick introduction to sugar snap peas for my kids as opposed to an in depth deep dive into every aspect of this legume. For anyone who has ever worked with or prepared sugar snap peas, there really isn’t much […]
Tomato Cilantro And Radish Salad
If I am counting correctly, this Tomato Cilantro Radish salad may be the third recipe that I’ve added to my website that was directly inspired by a menu offering at my local TacoDeli spot in Houston, with my guacamole and pozole recipes rounding out the trio. And I haven’t even seen this dish! It was […]
Roasted Carrot Soup
Chalk this one up to my need to find a way to eat more vegetables on a regular basis. And the need to make my wife happy, she really likes soups, and carrots. So a roasted carrot soup seemed like a pretty good idea, for both of us. And if you have a good sized […]
Oven Baked Creamed Spinach
As a child, the idea of willingly eating spinach, in any variation, was absurd. I ate spinach only when my parents made me, or when dessert was promised as a reward. But now, as an adult, I find that I am keeping tabs on restaurants that serve creamed spinach, and I’ve even gotten to the […]
Recipe For Mashed Cauliflower With Butter
I think I have convinced my family that the four of us would be better off removing as much wheat and gluten as possible from our daily meals, and that we additionally benefit by adding more vegetables instead. Agreeing on a rational and reasoned level is one thing, but putting it into practice is another […]
Roasted Butternut Squash Soup
Ok, I’ll admit it, scouring the internet and cook books looking for a roasted butternut squash soup Vitamix recipe had never really crossed my mind, and would not have seemed to be a fun way to spend a few minutes on an otherwise quiet Saturday afternoon. But after receiving a most generous gift from family […]
