Winter Braising Greens Soup

February 26, 2014 By Adina Pease Leave a Comment

Winter Braising Greens Soup

Another wintery month means continued sparse pickings at the local farmers markets. Without doing the work to preserve produce from growing season – the local options become quite limited. Squash, potatoes, and greens populate the sparse tables of most of the farm booths. The later one, the greens, begins to pique my interest because they look a bit different than during the rest of the year.

During these chillier months, all the greens are sold in miniature size. Completely adorable but also perfect for cooking with since there’s no cutting or de-stemming required. I like to buy the pre-washed bags of braising greens for the quick convenience – great for quick weeknight dinners like pureed soups.

This soup meets a number of allergy friendly requirements as long as you use vegetable stock and oils considered safe for whatever needs you’re serving. It’s vegan, gluten free, and makes a great way to get in a good serving of dark leafy greens.

Croque-Monsieur

Croque-Monsieur

My husband and I are big sandwich people, especially when cheese is involved! We love having grilled cheese and soup for dinner this time of year. Although it is starting to get really warm here in AZ, we like to pretend it’s cold inside.

I had my first Croque-Monsieur about a year ago at a cafe for lunch one day and I couldn’t believe it took me so long to discover this amazing sandwich. A Croque-Monsieur is a French grilled cheese sandwich made with ham and Gruyere cheese, but my favorite part? The Béchamel sauce on top! It makes the sandwich so creamy! This is a sandwich that you can make for brunch, lunch, and dinner. Serve it next to a light salad or a bowl of soup and call it a day! It’s easy to make, but it looks so much fancier than your typical grilled cheese.

It seemed like all of a sudden, everyone knew what I knew.  Chocolate covered potato chips were the perfect treat.  Trader Joe’s started selling them and I saw recipes all over pinterest.  People had caught on to the goodness.  Sweet and salty, what could be better? This week, I found something better.  Loaded sweet potato chips? Yes, please!!!

Pesto Pinwheels

Pesto Pinwheels

I don’t know about you guys, but the holiday season is not just about cookies for me. It’s also about lots of yummy appetizers! Puff pastry pinwheels are fun because you can fill them with so many different things, sweet and savory. These pesto pinwheels are really easy to make and you can use pre-made pesto if you want to save even more time. When it comes to hosting holiday parties, I am all about any shortcut I can take and still get a good result. And you can never go wrong with pesto! I kind of want to put it on everything and it pairs perfectly with buttery pastry dough. This little appetizer requires just a few ingredients and only takes about 20 minutes to prepare from start to finish!
