Baked Corned Beef and Cabbage
Wow what a week! Coronavirus is turning everything upside down. The positive is that I've had more time to get back in the kitchen and type up the recipes I've been trying. This week was St. Patrick's day, so I managed to snag a brisket from the grocery store and cook up some corned beef and cabbage in a 13x9 pan. It was sooooo yummy! I know I have a splash of Irish in my genetics and I can't get enough potatoes and cabbage in my diet. One word of caution-don't add salt if you buy pre-seasoned corned beef. It is already plenty salty enough in the end. [I ended up having to add rice on day 2 for a Corned Beef, Cabbage and Rice stew in the crockpot-so good!] I will post the Pistachio Pineapple Dessert I made to go with it separately.

Green Chili with Tomatillos, Hatch Chili and Carrots
So this was a happy experiment. I started out a carrot puree recipe and also a green chili recipe. I roasted hatch chilis, tomatillos and garlic in the oven and put the carrots on the pot to boil. As I was following both recipes simultaneously, I decided they would actually taste great together! The hubby agreed as we made burritos and added the sauce to them. It's a thicker mix but a great addition to any Spanish flared dish. Fresh garlic and carrots from the garden can't be beat!
Thai Sweet Potato Carrot Soup
Carrot Recipe #2
[A couple of weeks ago, the hubby harvested carrots from our garden--a big basket full! I decided to explore the world of recipes that contain carrots. It didn't really feel like we had a daily ration of carrots because of the multiple ways they can be served and prepared.]
This is probably my favorite that I'll make again later this fall when it's soup weather. Carrots and sweet potatoes taste so good together! I didn't puree as instructed but cooked it down as a thick stew. I also somehow completely missed the roasted cashews section of this recipe, but ended up serving it with chicken anyway, so the double protein would have been unnecessary. I also added fresh lime juice and cilantro at the end. It's a great side dish for any meat of choice.

Carrot Salad
A couple of weeks ago, the hubby harvested carrots from our garden--a big basket full! I decided to explore the world of recipes that contain carrots. This is the first of many that I tried; very pleased with all of them. It didn't really feel like we had a daily ration of carrots because of the multiple ways they can be served and prepared.
This one was easy because I used the shredder attachment on my Kitchenaid, just added a few ingredients and boom! Instant salad. I love honey and apple cider vinegar as a healthy option. The great thing is that this particular salad will keep in the fridge for several days. If I took this to a potluck, it would feel like cheating because it was so effortless.

Apple and Kohlrabi Salad
We love, love, love gardening, but the second best thing is the farmer's market. Last week we visited a stand in Elizabeth who's produce comes from the Western slope. There were many varieties of vegetables that we've yet to try-one of those being Kohlrabi (aka "German Cabbage"). I read through a plethora of recipes that include Kohlrabi, but this one was perfect for summer. It's got a great asian vinegar flavor; a great complement to the grilled salmon we're pairing it with. [Also serving with broccoli and fried combo of potatoes, tomatoes, onions and fresh dill.] Definitely have to add this to our garden next year. It cuts like a potato or jicama, but has a cabbage flavor. Next time I think I'll try a roasted version. [Also added carrots.]

Sausage, Potato and Sauerkraut Soup (Instant Pot)
I think we're averaging one (ground) sausage recipe per week. I definitely need to keep finding good German Sausage recipes. I loosely based my soup on this recipe. First, I sauted the sausage in the instant pot then added the rest of the ingredients. We still have potatoes from our garden and I used a jar of my homemade sauerkraut. I also added carrots. The bay leaf and caraway seed made it taste amazing. The hubby also added sour cream and cheese at the end. Using the instant pot, I was able to get all cooked in under 30 minutes! Delish!
