Feeling Cheeky
Julie | May 20, 2011
A nicely balanced meal if I do say so myself: almond-crusted halibut cheeks with orange beurre blanc, broccoli, and sweet potato puree with coconut milk and almond butter.
Thanksgiving Recap 2010
Julie | November 27, 2010
A recap of our Thanksgiving dinner from top to tail: turkey with prosciutto-hazelnut butter and all the fixings.
And Now for Something Completely Different…
Julie | November 22, 2010
Amid all the Thanksgiving planning, we changed things up and had blackened catfish with sweet potato oven fries and sauerkraut coleslaw for dinner.
Into the Mist
Julie | November 5, 2010
Several applications for pork braised in apple cider and molasses until meltingly tender: Simply served over crisp squash risotto cakes aside cider-glazed Brussels sprouts, or stuffed into a sandwich with sauerkraut coleslaw along twice-baked sweet potatoes.
Sweet Potato Pasta
Julie | October 26, 2010
Homemade sweet potato fettuccine makes a striking color contrast with Brussels sprouts, white beans and shavings of cheese—not to mention a good excuse to play with my new toy, a food dehydrator!
Five-Spice Roasted Chicken and Fixings
Julie | May 29, 2010
A variation on your basic roast chicken, with an Asian slant: Five-spice roasted chicken and gravy is served with a fragrant mash of white and sweet potatoes and a green salad drizzled with scallion vinaigrette.
Work in Progress
Julie | May 19, 2010
A series of recipes experimenting with Thai-style curries, from your basic yellow chicken curry, to potato-crusted salmon with curry-carrot sauce, to cod in a lemongrass-coconut broth.
Filling in the Gaps
Julie | January 24, 2010
This is a summary post overviewing the meals and baked goods I made over the holidays, concluding with the highlight of my father making ebelskivers.
Grilled Ribs and Sauteed Sweets
Julie | November 24, 2009
This recipe may be one of the only ways I enjoy eating sweet potatoes: They are tender, flavorful, and not overly sweet thanks to caramelized onion, ginger, smoked paprika, and a splash of sherry vinegar. The grilled ribs they accompanied were tasty, but nowhere near as revolutionary.
