When it comes to frying my husband takes the lead. We had originally planned to have shrimp but we ended up using ingredients we had on hand. So our meal unexpectedly became monochromatic with red bell pepper, salmon and carrots. My husband busted out our trusty food thermometer and expertly fried up this wonderful dinner….

Granola-Topped Squash and Root Vegetable Gratin
Happy Thanksgiving! I made this gratin as part of our recent Friendsgiving. It was well received and disappeared. I did not care for the granola and neither did my son who passed on this dish but my husband welcomed the texture it added to the dish. I also did not like the two step process…
Butter-Glazed Turnips
Turnip is one of those vegetables that I don’t have much experience with. I wasn’t expecting too much with this recipe but we were pleasantly surprised. I bought the purple bottom variety. The recipe was pretty easy and cooked up in about ten minutes. We really enjoyed this vegetable that tasted a bit like a…
Summer Vegetable Tian
On Cook the Book Fridays, we are baking up a Summer Vegetable Tian from Everyday Dorie. Packed with summer vegetables; tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant and in my case Graffati Eggplant and red onion. I managed to buy my vegetables of similar size except for the red onion. I thought this dish looked pretty before it went…
Roasted Vegetable Lasagna
This is our final week with Ina Garten at I Heart Cooking Clubs. I can’t believe six months is up already and time for a new chef. Lasagna is a labor of love no matter how you make it. This roasted vegetable lasagna was multi-step and an hour cooking time in the oven so definitely…
Vegetable Tian
I Heart Cooking Clubs My husband gets the sole credit for this week’s cooking assignment. I was all cooked out last weekend but my husband decided to take the reigns. Among the vegetable dishes I had tagged in Barefoot In Paris my husband chose this Vegetable Tian. Who knew such simple ingredients could taste so…
Provencal Vegetable Soup (Soupe Au Pistou)
This week at I Heart Cooking Clubs we are making one pot meals. I have been looking forward to making soup and I found a good one. Ina’s recipes are big so I halved the recipe and got four servings. This soup is filled with vegetable goodness; onions, leeks, potatoes, carrots and green beans. They…
Caramelized Shallots
This week at I Heart Cooking Clubs we are cooking with alliums. What are alliums? They are garlic, onions, shallots, leeks, scallions or chives. I love caramelized onions so I figured I would like these caramelized shallots. I used Ina’s handy hint to boil the shallots for one minute to peel them. The peeled shallots…
Haricots Verts
I am thrilled to be back with I Heart Cooking Clubs for their latest chef Ina Garten. I was given a copy of Barefoot In Paris and now I have a chance to cook from it. I chose to start with a vegetable dish, haricots verts or French string beans. I had two of the…
Quick-Braised Spring Vegetables
This week on I Heart Cooking Clubs we are cooking local and seasonal. My dish is not farmer’s market fresh but it is seasonal. Armed with my list, I headed to my local Trader Joe’s as I figured it was my best bet to find all the ingredients for this vegetable dish. I tried to…
