Turnip Miso Soup. Cinnamon & Rosemary Sauteed Carrot and Parsnip Noodles with Roasted Hazelnuts and Ricotta. I’m not sure if this should be a side dish or an entree.

Cinnamon & Rosemary Sauteed Carrot and Parsnip Noodles with Roasted Hazelnuts and Ricotta

I haven’t figured that out yet. What I do know, is that this is one of those recipes where I started off with reservations, hesitant about the final product. I wasn’t sure if the parsnips would cook well when spiralized, I didn’t know if the carrots‘ bitterness would cook off, and I went back-and-forth between serving it with crushed or whole hazelnuts. Oh yea, and I wrote the recipe for “cinnamon and thyme,” but bought rosemary instead, as I was rushing through the grocery store. Claaaaaaassic. I did manage to pick up this cute pumpkin at the farmer’s market…. his days are numbered though, because I’m in the middle of a pumpkin-roasting frenzy.

Curried Cauliflower Chowder

This simple but satisfying soup is hearty with cauliflower, red potatoes, and corn kernels. It's simmered in a fragrant coconut-curry broth full of garlic and ginger for a weeknight-friendly dinner that will chase away those winter blues. Start the Soup with Coconut I learned this trick for making Thai-style curries this year, and it's a great technique for this chowder too: Scoop the solidified fat that's on the top of a can of coconut milk and use that to sauté aromatics like ginger, garlic, and curry powder.

There's no need to start with oil or any other fat when you already have some right in the can! After the aromatics are fragrant, add some onion and frozen cauliflower, then blend with the rest of the coconut milk to make the thick, creamy base for the chowder. Kohlrabi & Herbed Yogurt Salad. This recipe is dedicated to our CSA members and farmers market customers.

BROWN BUTTER / SAGE / CREAM CHEESE / APPLE TURNOVERS

Maybe I just tell myself that to feel a little better about how much I use this combination. I’m nervous that it’ll be to the teens what salmon mousse was to the 80s or hard boiled eggs where to the 30s. These edible time capsules that seem quaint and silly now, were on the cutting edge of sophistication way back when. Oh well, I guess it’ll just be me and my side pony tail and tamagotchi, eating brown butter while listening to Matchbox Twenty. The brown butter/sage/apple/ cream cheese combination is unexpected and absolutely delicious. 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 sprig fresh sage. Blog - Megan Huylo.

I'm seriously over it! I'm just dying to throw on billowy wide-leg pants and flip flops and mosey around with the sun on my shoulders. If I concentrate really, really hard, I can almost feel the warm spring breeze. Almost...Anyway, yesterday's wet and cold called for something toasty and comforting.

It’s pretty clear how I’m handling winter this year: lots of big, bold, spicy food.

Chickpea & Sweet Potato Noodle Soup - My New RootsMy New Roots

Chili, saffron, ginger, and paprika are on heavy rotation these days, and I’m surviving cold days with hot meals infused with far-away flavours. The inspiration for this dish came from harira, a spicy Moroccan and Algerian soup that is traditionally eaten during Ramadan. I made it a lot when I first went vegetarian, about 16 years ago, but after adding several more recipes to my repertoire, kind of forgot about it. In the interest of internally thawing out my bod, I thought I would dust off this old favourite and give it a couple updates. You’ll often see a lot of harira recipes calling for rice or pasta, but I wanted to go the grain-free route on this one, so I pulled out my trusty spiralizer and make noodles out of sweet potatoes!

However, sometimes it’s fun to doctor these veggies up a bit and a few minutes spent on the grill with a side of this smokey cashew sauce is hard to beat. I’ve made this sauce on the blog before but somehow we keep coming back to it.

Not only does it go well with a simple roasted turkey or pork tenderloin, but it pairs nicely with Bridlewood Pinot Noir.
