So, I’m going to make this a very short and sweet recipe as it is very simple. It takes a while to roast the sweet potatoes (about a hour or maybe a bit longer…but, can roast them ahead of time and then do the rest when you are ready). This was one of the more well-received dishes I made for Thanksgiving dinner and it was definitely one of the easiest. So…here goes…recipe follows after the jump. Happy Thanksgiving! Continue reading
Tuscan Kale Gratin
I know, I know…I’ve written a lot of kale recipes of late. I’ll watch that for a while so that we can explore other vegetable options moving forward. If you don’t have kale or would rather use a different vegetable you can certainly use other vegetables such as Swiss chard, Brussel sprouts, potatoes (sweet or regular), carrots, parsnips, cauliflower…anyway you get the idea; there are a lot of options with this recipe. I made this dish for our Thanksgiving family dinner and it was actually one of, if not the actual favorite(s) of the day. The good news with serving this dish for Thanksgiving is that it is very easy, fairly quick to make, and can be made ahead and simply finished at the last minute. Apologies about the picture…it’s a bit blurry. I was moving quickly to take pictures while at the same time getting dinner ready for us and our friends. So it was more of a moving target with this meal…recipe follows after the jump. Continue reading
