Cabbage & Potato Gratin

 

Some of you may be here looking for a Thanksgiving recipe. I have one that would be a welcome addition to any holiday meal. The first time I flipped through Local Flavors I was immediately drawn to this recipe.  I almost never cook gratins (though they are delicious) because of the amount of dairy they contain. This recipe, however, looked heavy on the veggies and light on the milk & cheese. I put it aside several months ago, waiting for our winter CSA to begin. Cabbage is almost always on our CSA list in the winter months and though I like it, I have to admit I usually don’t know what to do with it unless I’m incorporating it into some other dish. It was awesome with the potatoes here, adding  sweet kick to their starchiness. This dish is relatively easy to put together and could be prepared ahead of time. Enjoy!

Breakfast Turnovers

A few posts ago, I promised I’d tell you what I did with the rest of my puff pastry. I’m sorry it took me so long! I used 1/3 of the puff pastry to make some breakfast turnovers for Jeff. If you like eggs in the morning but seem to be unable to put in the time (and wash the dishes!) they require, you would love these. I usually make a double recipe, freeze the turnovers on a baking sheet, then slip each one into its own individual baggie and pop the baggies in the freezer. The morning you want to eat a turnover, all you have to do is pull the turnover out of the bag, place it on a baking sheet, and bake it off.
