  • Sweet and Savory Potato Stacks

    March 13, 2014DishinandDishes

    Easter is but a mere month away, and inspired by last year’s Sweet Potato Au Gratin recipe, I continue to think that sweet potatoes are a MUST to serve alongside a ham or lamb roast for Easter.

  • Brussels Sprouts Gratin

    November 14, 2013DishinandDishes

    Brussels sprouts… These brilliantly green miniature cabbages are packed with vitamins A and C and folic acid and are a great source of fiber, but sadly are underrated or unloved by many. Just bring up their name in a crowd of people and watch people instantly start making the icky face. Perhaps it’s because most…

    Lately I’ve had a little love affair with beets and recipes with beets.  I also have a love affair with mixed salad greens, particularly of late, thinly sliced kale (although not a lettuce) and spring mix, which I adore.

    April 23, 2013DishinandDishes

    These Truffled  Mashed Potatoes with Prosciutto and Rosemary are special potatoes. They involve special ingredients that deviate from the traditional mashed potatoes with butter and milk. Now, don’t get me wrong I love those kind of potatoes as well! These potatoes involve those “once in awhile” ingredients that make you feel a little over the top…kind of…

  • Roasted Asparagus and Avocado Toast

    April 3, 2013DishinandDishes

    Spring is here and that means asparagus! We usually serve asparagus two ways, either roasted or grilled and it is so delicious! I don’t like to roast or grill it for more than just 10 minutes, because when it cooks too long it tends to get mushy and stringy. Only roasting it for a few…
