Turmeric Lemon Roasted Potatoes #FoodBloggerLove

By

I noticed a fun game posted in the online group #FoodBloggerLove. We claim the last blogger in the comment stream and add our own link. Then we have a week to post an inspired recipe. I was excited to claim Cindy of Cindy's Recipes and Writings. She and I have been in several different blogging groups over the years, so I was familiar with her blog already. But it was nice to really dig in and get to know her.

Meet Cindy! You can find her: on the web, on Facebook, on Twitter, on Instagram, and on Pinterest.

Cindy has been blogging since 2012 and was a professional cook for more than four decades. She's a passionate cook and gardener, a proud Penn State Master Gardener alumna. She's been a contributing writer for several newspaper columns where she lives in Northeaster Pennsylvania, including "Garden Spot” in Pocono Record,”The Watering Whole” in Times News, and “Lawn and Garden” in Pocono Xpress.

But, probably my favorite part of her bio is when she writes: "I’m an active competitor in Food Sport." I had no idea what that even meant. She shared that she's won or placed four times at PA Vegetable Board in Harrisburg, PA and Sustainable Seafood Cobia contest in Charleston, South Carolina. And she's qualified and competed three times in World Food Championships, in Orange Beach Alabama. How fun is that?!

So, I explored her blog and will be making several of her other dishes, including her Butternut Squash Squares and Broccoli Cheddar Soup. But, today, I was inspired to make a twist on her Turmeric Lime Roasted Potatoes for our Valentines' breakfast. We love roasted potatoes, but Cindy's spices and citrus elevated this usually ho hum side dish to an amazing side dish. Thanks for the inspiration, Cindy. 

 I did swap out the limes for Meyer lemon because I have a tree and almost never buy limes or lemons. Also, I cut back on the garlic because I used raw garlic instead of roasted. My vampire would have objected to that much garlic this early in the day. And I did, painstakingly, cut out tiny little hearts to match the day.


Ingredients

  • 4 to 6 potatoes, scrubbed, sliced to 1/3" and cut into hearts (or just make squares)
  • 1 t ground coriander
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and pressed
  • 2 T olive oil
  • 1 t ground turmeric
  • 1/4 t salt
  • 1/2 t ground cumin
  • 2 T freshly squeezed lemon juice



Procedure 
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together lemon juice, oil and spices. Add potato pieces and toss to coat. Spread as a single layer on a parchment paper or silicone mat-lined baking sheet.

Place try in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes turning occasionally. Roast until the outside is crisped and browned and the inside tender.


Serve hot. I served this with a cheesy herb omelette.

We'll definitely be making these again. Maybe without the hearts...that was time consuming.

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

By
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. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

By
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...
