Recipes to Try




Now that it is dark by 5 p.m., all I want to do is curl up on the couch and putz on projects I can't seem to complete during the warmer months. I am definitely putting the three dishes above on my winter recipe list! I am just coming in from outside and that tomato soup and grilled cheese sounds soooo good right now (anyone want to run to the store for me?). I am sure those apple cider waffles are dangerously delicious... I can't wait to try them. Happy cooking!

Recipes to Try

The Food & Drink category on Pinterest can by a dangerous place if your self control is feeling weak. Lately, I have been drawn to recipes that center around fresh vegetables. I have reached the point in the semester where the though of eating another grilled item from the dining hall makes me want to vomit. The recipes below add a fun, new, spicy way to eat your veggies. So, who wants to whip one of these up for me? ;)

1. Roasted Cauliflower and Mushroom Quinoa Salad  2. Roasted Chickpeas  3. Mushroom and Brussels Sprot Hash



The Cronut

I have been dying to try a cronut for quite a while now. For those of you who do not know what a cronut is... a cronut is a mix between a croissant and donut. All that deliciousness was created by Dominique Ansel this past spring in New York City. From what I've seen on Instagram and twitter, these things are a hot commodity. People line up at the crack of dawn to secure one of the 200 cronuts made by Mr. Ansel each day. I have read that people have sold their cronut for $40 on the internet! Yesterday, I reached an all time high in my need to try a cronut. The Madison Square Park Shake Shack and Dominique Ansel teamed up to make cronut concretes. Like, come on! I can only imagine what that does to your taste buds. Unfortuantely, I am a long way away from NYC, so I'll have to keep dreaming of when I get to try a cronut for the first time.
