Romanesco – The Alien Vegetable

Our organic Bountiful Baskets order for 3/2/13 was filled with all kinds of goodies this week including Romanesco, Leaf Lettuce, Baby Broccoli, Cilantro, Celery, Red Potatoes, Red Swiss Chard, Bananas, Apples, Mangoes, Grapefruit, and Blueberries. Now, I’ve never cooked Romanesco, but I read that is was kind of like cauliflower, so I started throwing together a variety of items from the basket this week as well as a few leftovers from last week. I used the red potatoes, brussels sprouts, garlic, Romanesco to create a very healthy dish. The creation looked quite green, but it tasted delicious. Romanesco is rich…

It used simple ingredients, but I needed to change it up slightly to make it gluten free. While the original recipe featured mayonnaise, my mom often used sour cream as we had it on hand.

Gluten Free Mexican Pizza Bake

Munchkin’s best friend is visiting us from NC, and I decided to be crazy and try something completely different for lunch. It smelled great cooking, and I think it turned out well. It’s always a risk trying something new when you have company. lol! I think the girls liked it. Both D and I enjoyed it.

What do you do when you have a bunch of veggies and don’t know what to make for dinner? Well, if you’re me, you start tossing a bunch of stuff in a pot to create a chili or soup. Tonight, I decided to go with a chili as I wanted something a bit hearty to eat. You could easily add meat to this chili, if desired, but it’s filling without the meat.
