Roasted Root Veggies Salad

By
When you add four ingredients to vegetables, you transform them into Earth's candy - caramelized and concentrated. Delicious. Oh, the four ingredients: olive oil, salt, pepper, and heat.

I decided to roast some of the root vegetables I had in the fridge to put atop our Easter salad.


Peel and cut veggies into bite-sized pieces. For this batch I used celery root, parsnips, carrots, and red beets. Place them in a roasting pan, drizzle them with olive oil, sprinkle them with freshly ground sea salt and pepper. I did add some fresh rosemary to this batch. Okay, this took five ingredients!

Cover them with foil and roast in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes. Uncover and let them roast - and caramelize - for another 15 minutes.

Place the roasted veggies on top of mixed greens. Season with salt and pepper. Dress with olive oil and juice from one lemon. I used a rosemary -infused olive oil. Toss and serve.


I am sharing this recipe with Beyond the Peel's Whole Food Wednesday, a weekly celebration of real food. Gotta love that!

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

By
Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting  Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of  All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo. I understand the need to self-isolate. And we are abiding by the social distancing guidelines put in place by our state. But, boo, nonetheless. Oahu, October 2017 So for this month's Food'N'Flix, I chose to open up the field and let all of the food bloggers take a (virtual) Hawaiian holiday.  My boys have been to Oahu several times with my parents in recent years as my dad grew up there and wanted to spend some time on the island with his grandsons.
