“This hardy root vegetable enjoys cool climate – it requires frost to convert its starches to sugars and to develop its sweet, nutty flavor. Serving parsnips along side familiar favorites like carrots and potatoes is the perfect way to introduce kids to this versatile veggie.”

Braised Chicken with Kale

 

“This “superfood” is chock full of vitamins and minerals to help your family defend against cold and flu season. Consider using kale in recipes that call for spinach – its sturdy leaves are particularly excellent when sautéed or added to casseroles. ”

 

 


Classic Cranberry Saucecranberry-sauce-ck-1853970-x

 

“Cranberry sauce is a staple at the Thanksgiving dinner table, but this holiday favorite makes the perfect side dish all winter long – especially since cranberries are high in immune-boosting Vitamin C and antioxidants.”

Cooking Light: Fall Favorites https://www.thecreativekitchen.com/cooking-light-fall-favorites/ https://www.thecreativekitchen.com/cooking-light-fall-favorites/#respond Thu, 23 Oct 2014 09:30:00 +0000 http://www.thecreativekitchen.com/?p=8624 a mouthful from the creative kitchen logo

Autumn in New York is one of our favorite times of the year. The leaves are changing colors, the school season is in full swing, and the holidays are right around the corner. Plus, fall is full of delicious flavors and tasty ingredients that fill the house with warming aromas and scents. This fall, cozy up to some of our favorite fall dishes from our friends at Cooking Light!

 
 

Spiced Pumpkin Biscuits

“These light, flavorful biscuits are the perfect complement to a fall meal, especially when paired with Orange Blossom Honey Butter. A light hand with the dough will help to ensure tender biscuits”

 

Roasted Root Vegetables with Sorghum and Cider

“Sorghum — also known as sorghum molasses — is the distinctive, syrupy by-product of sorghum grain. Look for it in specialty stores and gourmet grocers, or substitute molasses.”

 

Butternut Squash and Parmesan Bread Pudding

“A side of sautéed kale or mustard greens would provide a nice counterpoint to the sweet butternut squash in this savory vegetarian entrée.”
