  • [Broccoli & Spinach] Miso Slaw

    As a kid, my mom would make steamed broccoli, and my favorite parts to eat were the little slices of tender stalk (outside bark was peeled off) that she would steam along with the usual tree-like shapes I would stick in bowls of rice to create a tiny diorama before eating.

  • Mustard Lemon Cauliflower

    Mustard Lemon Cauliflower

    This is a decent weekday recipe, based on the time spent, although you don’t get to just set it in the oven and forget it until it’s done. I cut the original amount of butter with olive oil so you can pretend it’s healthier. The initial recipe is based on one from the November 2006…

    Sunday Squash Roast – Stocking Up for the Apocalypse

    The butternut squash planted late last spring is finally yielding ripened fruit.
