Crash Potatoes (A Seat at the Table)

These crash potatoes were also part of my Valentine’s day meal.  I saw these potatoes from the Pioneer Woman ages ago and obviously knew they’d be great (because I’m pretty sure everything the Pioneer Woman makes is great).  And I was not disappointed.  These potatoes are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside andRead more

Autumnal Butternut Squash

Roasted Acorn Squash

I have to say that until now, acorn squash was my least favorite squash.  Why have acorn when you could have spaghetti, or better yet butternut: the best of all squashes.  But now I have a finer appreciation for the acorn squash.  As I’ve said before, roasting veggies makes magic happen.  If you think youRead more

Eggplant is one of those things that I’ve loved at restaurants but have always been a bit intimidated about trying at home.  However, when I saw this recipe it renewed my interest in learning how to cook it.  I am SO glad I did!  This recipe is delicious!  So flavorful, with a great combination of creamy,Read more
