This was a lovely light summer meal. Even my teenage boys ate all the grilled squash which is a coup for me. You can adjust the spiciness of the dressing to your taste. I think the little roasted potatoes were the favorite. I used Peruvian purple potatoes but any baby potatoes will do.

Potato, Artichoke, Mushroom and Goat Cheese Gratin
28 01 2011
I was looking to make a hearty dish that I could make ahead of time and my family could reheat easily. I came up with this gratin filled with yummy portobellos, marinated artichoke hearts and lots of cheese. I was not around to eat it with them, but when I returned home, they had only left me a small amount because it was too good to pass up. I guess that is a positive sign. This is quite easy to put together and is delicious served with a green salad.

Summer Vegetable Stew on Corn Potato Cakes
15 08 2010
Summer is the best time to get experimental with all the vegetables found in the stores or in your garden. I looked in my refrigerator and found zucchini from my Mom’s garden and some corn on the cob and Russet potatoes. This is what I came up with to use them for an easy summer dinner. I served this with a crispy Caesar Salad.

Penne with Broccoli and Fingerling Potatoes in a Creamy Pesto Sauce
29 05 2010
I looked in my refrigerator and found three ingredients that needed using up: broccoli, fingerling potatoes, and pesto sauce. So I came up with this really lovely and satisfying pasta dish. I served it with a nice green salad and voila, a complete meal. I roasted the potatoes because I love their taste, but if you are short on time, you could always boil or steam the potatoes.

Braised Fennel and Potatoes
6 04 2010
I love fennel. It has a beautiful subtle anise or licorice flavor. You can use it raw in salads but one of my favorite ways of preparing fennel is braising. Braising involves searing the vegetable first then adding liquid and cooking until tender. I served this dish with my Easter dinner and my boys loved it, even the one who says he doesn’t like fennel and onions.

Incan Corn, Potato, Quinoa Risotto (sort of)
13 01 2010Serves 4 – 5
This is a delicious variation of a risotto. It is a one dish meal eaten in a bowl. The quinoa is a very different texture to the creamy, starchy rice normally found in risotto. Quinoa is extremely nutritious and gluten free. Read the rest of this entry »

Rumpledethumps
13 01 2010Okay you all are probably thinking, what the heck is Rumpledethumps. It is my red-haired Irish son’s favorite dinner. This is a good old-fashioned Irish colcannon, a potato and cabbage dish, traditionally served on Lugnasa, the harvest festival. It is basically good old peasant food with the addition of my new favorite secret ingredient, mace. Mace is found on the outer shell of the nutmeg, think of savory nutmeg spice. It is fantastic with potatoes.
