Mini Root Kugel

I have a feeling that root vegetables have made it back into popularity big-time
 over the last decade. This includes those that I think were not so popular such 
as parsnips and turnips. You may have noticed that I am using parsnips often,
these days. There is a subtle but definitive flavor from them and it is one that 
we like.

Most often, they are one of the vegetables for my chicken soup but now I also make
root vegetable soups and casseroles.

This time, I wanted to make a kugel with them and could not find exactly what I was
looking for so I threw together a little bit of this and a little bit of that and made these 
mini kugels that were great as well as adorable.

Mini Root Vegetable Kugel

Ingredients: (all vegetables should be peeled)

2 zucchini, grated
2 carrots, grated
1 large turnip, diced
2 parsnips, diced
1 huge onion, slice thin and then rough chopped
3 eggs
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup crumbs (bread, cracker, tortilla or your choice)

Method:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Spray cooking oil on muffin tins (24)

Hand grate or grate in food processor, all vegetables (I did the onion 
by hand).

In a large bowl, mix eggs and seasoning. 

 Add oil and tortilla chips crumbs and mix in.


 Add vegetables and mix well.

Pour into muffin cups and bake for 25-30 minutes. 

Check with a toothpick or knife to make sure it comes out clean. It should begin to
brown.

Eat and enjoy.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Image
Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi...

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I ...
