Chicken Noodle Soup

I made the broth from half a chicken. Then adding whatever veggies I had. It was delightful makes the coming of fall a little easier.

Butternut Squash and Pear soup w/ Fried Sage

I have to admit I didn't make the soup. My darling friend Chloe did and amazing job.
We fried the sage together, but I think we should have used a thinner layer of butter...This was like deep fried sage, still really tasty. I have heard of putting fried sage on fruit with lemon juice, nectarines or apples sound really good.

Red Potato-Turnip Au Gratin

It was rich but very yummy.

I was so excited I cut into it before I took a photo!
The turnips cut the starch a bit and add a spicy touch.

Potato-Cauliflower Curry

Sauteing the spices first makes all the difference.

I actually fried the falafel!

Usually I bake it...
I used coconut oil which added a nice flavor.
 
Here it is with some homemade tzatziki .

Charcuterie plate for one

I never get sick of slices boiled beets with olive oil, balsamic vinegar and S&P.

Cilantro pesto

A great way to have fresh cilantro on hand for more then a few days. I make it the same as basil pesto with your choice of nut and lemon juice.
