Tidbits
Some notes on miscellaneous recipes from recent weeks: cherry-frangipane tart, arugula and garlic scape pestos, whole wheat hearth bread, tuna melts, and a twist on spaghetti and meatballs.
Breakfast (Radishes) for Dinner
Using all parts of the radish: Raw for snacking, greens for soup, and even shredded into focaccia bread. Also a white bean-Caesar flatbread with prosciutto and arugula.
Leaving the House of Orange
A democratic, if not Protestant, quinoa pilaf incorporates purple carrots, turnip, leftover chicken, and fresh arugula, with a garnish of crispy kale chips.

A partially successful attempt to make beets palatable to us: they colored the homemade fettuccine and studded the sauce, along with sauteed beet greens and tangy goat cheese.
Bacon and Egg Salad
French and American variations on sturdy green salads with bacon and eggs, each with a very different flavor profile.
They Go Together Like Quiche and Cookies
Big chocolate chip cookies pick up the slack (and extra yolk) from making a crustless spinach-sausage quiche. While the latter was tasty, the crunchiness of the cooled cookies disappointed us.
Boneless Leg of Lamb Stuffed with Swiss Chard and Feta
A butterflied and stuffed leg of lamb makes a visually impressive and succulent holiday roast.
