An Array of Roasted Autumn Veggies
This is my go-to process for roasting all the bounty of the Fall. You can use whatever veggies you have and the cooking time will depend on the vegetable you are using. But I love that I can change up the flavor profile of the food based on what olive oil and vinegar I choose. I served these recently at a private event at The Quail & Olive . Brussels Sprouts, Carrots, and Mushrooms 1 to 2 cups mushrooms, brushed clean of dirt 1 to 2 cups Brussels sprouts, trimmed from the sta

Raspberry Chipotle Roasted Meatballs
I served these recently at a private event at The Quail & Olive . This is my go-to process for making meatballs and you can use whatever barbeque sauce you have on-hand. But these were made with the Raspberry Chipotle BBQ Sauce that Anni has in her shop. Ingredients makes approximately 18 to 20 meatballs, depending on the size 2 pounds ground beef 2 Tablespoons minced garlic ½ cup bread crumbs (I used a gluten-free panko, but use whatever you have) 3 Tablespoons milk or cream

Summer Rolls and Nước Chấm, a Ubiquitous Vietnamese Dipping Sauce
This is my twenty-first offering in the 2025 Alphabet Challenge, our second year of working our way through the alphabet with recipes. It's actually the 22nd post for the group, but I missed the letter 'R' because I was traveling. But I'm back for the rest of the year. It's hard to believe that we are into the final quarter of the year...and the alphabet. We post every other week for the entire alphabet and this is year two. Thanks for starting this series, Wendy of A Day in

Seolleontang (Korean Bone Soup) #MoviesandMunchies
I am posting this after watching KPop Demon Hunters which is our September-October Movies & Munchies selection. Actually it was our September selection, but several us were slow to the party; so Amy - of Amy's Cooking Adventures - extended our deadline and gave us October to watch and head into the kitchen. Phew. On the Screen image from https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20250715-the-animated-k-pop-film-that-swept-the-world I didn't know what to expect from this movie. Hon

Jarrahdale Pumpkin Risotto
This is the dish I made for the main dish at my Winter Squash Demo and Tasting at Earthbound Farm last weekend. When Janna Jo and I walked the patch and picked a Jarrahdale pumpkin for one of the dishes, I decided to prep it three ways and have all the different textures in this one dish. I used cubed (raw) pumpkin, cubed roasted pumpkin, and pumpkin purée made with this process . This is what I used to make about 16 servings; scale down as needed. Ingredients I organic oni
