Beet Tarts with Goat Cheese

Thanks to a Fellow Springdellian for bringing these to my attention, it’s a new favorite. Beets, maple caramelized onion, local herbed goat cheese, puff pastry – what’s there not to love? Make your own puff pastry if you can, but if you go with the store bought dough, we won’t judge.


Sesame Bok Choy and Shiitake Mushrooms

This takes the traditional stir fry of the bok choy to a fun level of taste sensation. The nuttiness of the sesame, the sweetness of the mirin and hoisin, the saltiness of the soy, the unami of the shiitake, it’s all good. Toss it with some rice or serve it on top and you have a yummy veggie thing going on.


Sesame Ginger Winter Squash and Cabbage

If you have some cabbage and winter squash in need of some loving, this is a good start! The combination of squash and cabbage is great with the zip of ginger. The sweetness of a caramelized onion adds to the mix. I’m not convinced of the sesame’s role, (this one remains on the drawing board) but we are on our way!
