I have not yet met a fried potato that I did not enjoy. French fries, hashbrowns, tator tots, and the list goes on. Any country that had access to potatoes has thrown those little buddies into hot oil and discovered the wonder of a crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside, fried potato. These…

Muffin Tin Popovers
I am not a big single use kitchen tool owner. I’d rather things take 30 seconds longer than have to store an extra bulky item. Don’t even get me started on avocado knives. I am here to tell you you don’t need a popover pan to make delicious popovers. Do they come out a little…
Classic French Carrot Salad
This carrot salad is everywhere in France. You can find carottes râpées at cafes, supermarkets, and little bistros. It goes with almost anything, but especially roast chicken or rice. I love that I can make a batch at the beginning of the week, and it just seems to get better as the week goes on….
Cheesy Zucchini Biscuits
I am learning to love zucchini, and my sister in law is helping me get there. This summer when we got to have a sister-in-law+kiddos weekend (so fun and I highly recommend) she shared two of her favorite zucchini recipes with me, and they were both a hit! I altered this recipe just a little…
Cinnamon Applesauce
Fall is in the air! That means it is time to make some applesauce. Is there anything better than a pot of cinnamon scented apples bubbling away on the stove? I’m not sure, but I doubt it. This recipe couldn’t be simpler and relies on the sweetness of your apples. I recommend using a sweet…
Grilled Corn
Introducing a liked food cooked in a different way can be a great way to increase flexibility in eating. Flexibility is a good thing! It means they will learn that trying new foods can be safe and fun. If your kiddo is used to seeing canned corn, throwing it on the grill can be a…
Mashed Garlic Turnips
I love a recipe that makes something delicious out of something that isn’t always considered high class fare. Gumbo comes to mind. Also boudin. Mashed garlic turnips are right up there. I love balancing out the bitterness of the turnip with potatoes. It helps me eat more seasonally, and is a great way to introduce…
Turnip Greens
There are many canned produce items that I have less than fond feelings for. Top five least favorite are canned spinach, canned cranberry sauce (come at me you can-cran zealots), canned peas, canned mushrooms, and lastly, canned turnips with their greens. That being said, canned vegetables helped my mom keep vegetables on our table regularly,…
