Roasted Cabbage Steaks {St. Patty's Day}

Every year for St. Patrick's Day, I boil corned beef, cabbage, and potatoes. And the boys all love it. But this year I decided that I wanted to try a new preparation. I don't remember where I saw this. Maybe pinterest. Maybe a blog I follow. But I remembered that it was easy. Done.

Ingredients

1 organic green cabbage
olive oil
freshly ground salt
freshly ground pepper

Procedure

Remove the outer leaf of the cabbage and slice it into 1" steaks. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Lay the steaks on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the steaks with a thin layer of olive oil - on both sides. Sprinkle with salt and pepper - on both sides.

Roast the cabbage for 30 minutes on one side. Flip them over. Roast for another 30 minutes. The cabbage will be softened, but not mushy, and lightly caramelized on the edges. Delicious!

This was the perfect addition to our St. Patty's Day dinner. But I will be using this process again. It's easy and flexible. I'm envisioning fresh herbs and garlic. Oh, yum!

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few.

Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
