Chipotle Sweet Potato Rounds. So this is it.
The last day of our four-day NYE party. I’m not going to say that I saved the best for last but…maybe I did. My dad is close friends with a sweet potato farmer, and somehow I am lucky enough to reap the benefits of this friendship. The last time I was at my dad’s house he gave me about 10lbs of sweet potatoes, and I graciously accepted. I had been taking them to work to eat with a little salt and greek yogurt (a weird but delicious lunch that I love). Reuben Grilled Cheese. We’re back after a nice holiday break, and finally ready to start thinking about food again.
It’s lovely being cooked for as a guest, but we’ve missed our little galley kitchen and cosy bungalow. We returned from our week-long trip to Minnesota greeted with bright white snow covering the branches of all our trees – winter has finally come to Indianapolis. (Check out scenes from our trip on our Instagram feeds [Sonja or Alex], if you’re interested.) Now that we’re back, we’re pondering 2013 — feeling nostalgiac, but excited for the New Year. 2012 was good to us: an amazing trip across the world, and the cookbook project of a lifetime.
Roasted Cauliflower & Cheddar Soup. Roasted Cauliflower & Cheddar Soup I am lucky Josh likes vegetables since I am a vegetarian.
He doesn’t mind if meat doesn’t make an appearance at the dinner table. And if he is in the mood for some meat, he will make it himself to go with whatever we are having. I am also lucky he can cook:) Cauliflower is the one vegetable that Josh can’t stand. I wasn’t expecting Josh to eat this soup, but to my surprise, he said he would try it. This soup is buttery and creamy…without any butter or cream. This simple soup is perfect for a cold January day. Even if you don’t like cauliflower, you should try this Roasted Cauliflower & Cheddar Soup.

Did you guys eat as much over the holidays as I did? Man, it was ridiculous. Easy and delicious. Broccoli parmesan fritters. Last week, it was pointed out to me that among the 750 recipes in the archives, there is but a single recipe that utilizes broccoli.
Just one! (It’s a great one, though.) For comparison, there are 11 recipes that use cauliflower and 26 with mushrooms. What terrible oversight could have led to this? I buy broccoli (and its friends) approximately once a week, year-round but this wasn’t always the case. Please understand: this is not one of those stories about how preciously advanced my toddler’s tastes are, how early he took an interest in foie gras and how he turns his nose up at white flour pastas, preferring farro. I have a theory that you can tuck almost any finely chopped or shredded vegetable — be it potatoes, zucchini, or an Indian-spiced mix — into a savory pancake, fry it in small mounds until crisp on both sides, serve it with a dollop of a sour cream or yogurt sauce and they will be inhaled.

The day before the official kickoff to the Christmas season. Well, at least that’s what the news people say. I start getting the Santa spirit the day after Halloween. But that’s just me. This morning, things are off to a great start before the big rush to visit 2 families, one Black Friday extravaganza, two huge football games (LSU/Arkansas and the Iron Bowl—Bama and Auburn), then back home to get our seat belts buckled for an insane month…yes only 5 short weeks…until Christmas.
