Broccoli, cheddar and onion tacos

I firmly believe you can make anything into a taco. Unlike the dinos of Jurassic Park, I am also of the belief that we should ("Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should"- Malcolm to Hammond). This taco is bursting with roasted onion, broccoli and cheddar, then topped with ranch.

Hello? Your tastebuds are calling.

Ingredients:

1 pound broccoli florets

1 clove garlic, minced

1 medium red onion, sliced into wedges

6 six inch flour tortillas

2 ounces shredded cheddar-jack blend

Ranch dressing

Method:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

On a rimmed baking sheet, toss broccoli, onions, and chopped garlic with a drizzle of oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast on upper oven rack until veggies are tender and browned.

Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tortilla at at time; cook until warm and lightly golden, about 30 seconds per side. Wrap in a clean kitchen towel or foil as you go to keep warm.

Once broccoli and onions are done roasting, remove baking sheet from oven and sprinkle cheese evenly over top. Return to upper oven rack until cheese is melted.

Serve warm tortillas filled with cheesy broccoli and onions. Drizzle with some of the ranch dressing and serve remaining on the side. Enjoy!

Leftover Cranberry Sauce Cookies

Like many of you, I made an entire Thanksgiving Day feast for only my husband and I. As such, I have an inordinate amount of leftovers. Expect my blog to largely star ways to dress up leftovers, because I have freezer meals of Thanksgiving day to last a lifetime. In this recipe, I was looking for a way to use up cranberry sauce and leftover walnuts from my apple crisp. Cranberry sauce drop cookies seemed the perfect thing to make; enjoy it with a cup of hot cocoa. I plan on gifting some to my parents; a way to break bread near the holiday without breaking protocols. Enjoy! Ingredients: 3 3/4 cup all purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 2 sticks of butter, softened 1 1/2 cups sugar 3 eggs 1 cup cranberry sauce 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/2 cup chopped nuts Method: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Samosas with Yogurt Sauce

I love exploring many kinds of cuisine in my kitchen because I can control the spice level, and in the case of this recipe, the use of cilantro. Cilantro lovers out there- sub it info the parsley here. I have the gene that makes cilantro taste like soap, which limits my ability to enjoy some dishes in restaurants, but is easily rectified in my own kitchen. I hope you enjoy!

Peek-a-boo Squares

My grandma, Mimi, taught me this recipe. I used to make this with her and my mother as a child. It is my very favorite dessert. It is incredibly easy to make, and even easier to eat. My favorite part of making this as a child was dusting every bar generously with snowy white powdered sugar. My favorite version of this dessert uses canned blueberry pie filling; I vastly prefer Libby brand over the store brand. You can make blueberry pie filling from scratch with sugar, cornstarch, bleberries, etc. but using the canned stuff is easy in a pinch and is much for nostalgic for me. Plus, I don’t notice a vast improvement over my homemade blueberry pie filling and the Libby brand; it just takes me longer to put this dessert together. I have been known to whip up a pan of these Friday night and have them disappear by Saturday afternoon. Be warned, these things are addictive! Ingredients: 3 cups of all-purpose flour 2 cups of granulated sugar 4 eggs 2 ...
