Thanksgiving is getting close and I wanted to share some ideas from my site to help you fill out your menu. Isn’t this little turkey cute? This is one of the many things we print, hand paint and sell on my Etsy store Nuggets Farm. 😀 I have lots of great vegetable, side dish, dessertContinueContinue reading “Thanksgiving Ideas”

Miso Butter Roasted Cabbage
Cabbage is a super versatile vegetable that kind of gets forgotten, and this recipe was one of the best ways I have ever had it cooked. Miso brings such a depth of flavor to dishes and a nice hit of salt, and this recipe is no exception. This miso butter roasted cabbage recipe could notContinueContinue reading “Miso Butter Roasted Cabbage”
Homemade French Fries
Homemade fries take a little time to make, but they are so much tastier than frozen and I thought I would share my method for making them. I like this method because the fries come out perfectly cooked and they are pretty quick to make when ready to eat. I use the double fry method,ContinueContinue reading “Homemade French Fries”
Our Favorite Pickled Carrots
I have been making these pickled carrots since my kids were little, and it was one vegetable I knew they’d eat without me nagging them. My son even asked for some when he was a freshman living in a dorm in college 🙂 Why bother pickling carrots, you might ask. Yes, you can just eatContinueContinue reading “Our Favorite Pickled Carrots”
Roasted Cauliflower and Chickpea Wraps with Pickled Red Onion and Chipotle Yogurt Sauce
I will be honest, my family isn’t crazy about vegetarian meals, so I have to make sure they are interesting and flavorful if I do make them. I love this kind of food (although I do love a good burger or some short ribs too :)). I saw a similar recipe on instagram and immediately wanted toContinueContinue reading “Roasted Cauliflower and Chickpea Wraps with Pickled Red Onion and Chipotle Yogurt Sauce”
Fried Caper Panzanella
This fried caper version of panzanella is pretty much all the things I love. It is best made with fresh summer garden tomatoes, which I did not have, so I used the best store tomatoes I could find. If you have a garden, or know someone who grows them, do yourself a favor and useContinueContinue reading “Fried Caper Panzanella”
Charred Corn Salad
Growing up in the Midwest, sweet corn is pretty much a summer time staple. I absolutely love fresh corn on the cob with butter and salt. I also love any salad made with fresh corn. This is simple but flavorful summer time salad that goes great with anything grilled, as a side dish at aContinueContinue reading “Charred Corn Salad”
Celery, Apple and Blue Cheese Coleslaw
As I have mentioned before, I love pretty much anything with blue cheese. When I saw this recipe for coleslaw with celery, apple and blue cheese, I really wanted to try it out. This combination sounded great. I also liked that fact that this recipe didn’t use mayo, since sometimes coleslaw can be so mayoContinueContinue reading “Celery, Apple and Blue Cheese Coleslaw”
Seared Halibut with Ricotta Pea Puree
I saw a picture of a recipe similar to this one, and thought it looked delicious. I happened to have some ricotta leftover in my fridge from chicken rollatini that I needed to use up, so this was the perfect thing to use it for. Halibut was great for this recipe, but you could alsoContinueContinue reading “Seared Halibut with Ricotta Pea Puree”
Roasted Broccoli Salad
This recipe is adapted from Pinch of Yum, which I love. Roasted broccoli salad is a different way to get some broccoli in your diet and the salami/bacon, garlic, shallot, lemon and parmesan make it way more delicious than the boring steamed broccoli I often make my family eat. 🙂 I made a few changesContinueContinue reading “Roasted Broccoli Salad”
