Last- minutes side dishes for Thanksgiving. We have enough to do on Thanksgiving without spending a lot of time on extra dishes. Am I right? That's where these 6 last-minute side dishes come in. I chose them because either the prep was 15 minutes or less, and / or at least a major part of the recipe could be done ahead. As in the previous day. And they're all big on flavor. As a note, the Maple Candied Carrots with Currants were on Food Network a few years ago (yay!!!), and my ...
Spicy Delicata Squash Salad with Kale
Autumn means fall and winter squash begin to pile up at the market. Pumpkins, butternut squash, and delicata squash are among my favorites. Pumpkin and butternut squash are great for soups, but delicata is my pick for salads, like this Delicata Squash Salad with Kale. Can You Eat the Skin of Delicata Squash? One of the big reasons I love delicata squash is that yes, you can eat the skin. None of that time-consuming peeling is necessary at all. (Yay!!) This makes it uber-easy and quick ...
Blistered Shishito Peppers with Cheese
One of my favorite quick and easy side dishes on a hot summer evening is Blistered Shishito Peppers. You'll see shishito peppers this time of year in all the markets. But I'll be honest, I walked by them in the produce department for years before actually purchasing them. I'm finally recovered enough from my spine surgery to drive to the farmer's market, a real highlight for me. The one I go to is a 30 - 40 minute drive around the Lake a bit, depending on ...
Easy Homemade Flour Tortillas
It seems like forever now. But exactly one month ago we winged it down to Cabo Mexico for a one-week culinary immersion class with The Farm Cooking School. It was incredible fun, delicious, and nurturing. I made new friends I hope to connect with later this year back in Mexico, God willing. And I came away with new fun recipes - like these easy homemade flour tortillas - and tips galore. Cooking in Mexico as Sabor de Rancho The day we made these flour tortillas, we first bumped over 6 miles of a ...
Perfect Classic Potatoes Au Gratin (with Poblanos)
First of all, yes I know a classic potatoes au gratin doesn't include roasted poblanos. But I swear, everything else in this recipe is totally classic. It's just that I still have Mexico on the brain after our recent fabulous culinary immersion trip there. If you object to the poblano, just eliminate it without making any other changes. Was it only a month ago we were packing to go on vacation?? It seems like the past 3 weeks have lasted at least 3 months. Is it like that for you too? One ...
Vegetarian Thanksgiving Menu – 21 Side Dishes
21 side dish ideas for your vegetarian Thanksgiving menu this year. Thanksgiving is arguably the biggest eating holiday of the year. And vegetarians and vegans hunt for satisfying dishes for their Vegetarian Thanksgiving Menu (or Vegan Thanksgiving, obviously). Before you object, I realize many of our holidays are food centric. Valentines Day is all about chocolate. The summer holidays of Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and Labor Day are the Grand Central Station of grilling. ...
Sesame Crusted Sweet Potato Cakes
Vegan Dairy-Free Gluten-Free Easy 30-Minute Recipe A couple of weeks ago, I posted a Weekly Vegetarian Meal Plan - something I do every couple of weeks or so.And sometimes I fall in love with one of the recipes, and can't stop making it. That's what happened with the Sweet Potato Cakes with Lemony Slaw by The First Mess. I've made this one 3 times now. And each time I make ...
Vegan Marinated Roasted Red Peppers
When I have one foot holding onto summer and the other reaching for fall, I turn to roasted red peppers as a satisfying dish. This marinated roasted peppers dish is a perfect example of one of my favorites, as it brings in so many flavors of late summer and early fall. Best of all, it gets party dish bonus points, since it should be made at least a day ahead to allow the flavors to meld. To be honest, here in the mountains we're firmly planted in autumn and seem to be reaching for winter. So ...
Best Traditional Greek Salad
This is the best time of year to make a traditional Greek salad, so if you're looking for your next salad, this is it my friends. All of the ingredients are in season at their peak flavor, and easily found at grocery stores and Farmers Markets. For bonus points, this might also be one of the easiest salads you'll make this year - and for the win, one of your most popular. Seriously. Make it for dinner, a pot luck, or a picnic. It travels well and is best made a little ahead of time. (And if ...
Double Baked Cheese Soufflé with Artichokes
Since double baked cheese soufflés are baked twice, there's no stress over them falling. They make a wonderfully decadent appetizer, side, or even a main dish with a salad. Why Double-Baked Cheese Soufflés are the BEST It's been a long time since I've made a soufflé. Like forever. For starters, they collapse so quickly that by the time they reach the table people wonder why I'm serving a pancake for dessert. And there's a lot of fuss around having a clean ramekin top and edge so nothing ...
Green Bean Casserole (Vegetarian Keto Low-Carb)
If you've ever attended a Thanksgiving dinner anytime in the past 50 years, chances are you had a green bean casserole topped with Crispy Fried Onions. But have you eaten a version that's keto-friendly? The answer is - you probably have if it didn't include Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup (sorry, Campbell's). Does that surprise you? It did me. First, a little history... Dorcas Reilly created this classic holiday dish in 1955 when she was working in the Home Economics Department of Campbell's ...
