Braised Parsnips with Dates
Felice @morinoko
Inspired by a recipe from Mark Bittman for "Braised and Glazed Carrots." I used parsnips instead, flavored with a touch of nutmeg and dates to give them a well-rounded sweetness. I threw in some left over chickpeas I had too; I found it nice, but just leave out if you don't have any.
Serves 4 small servings or 2 large. This would go well with carrots instead of parsnips as well.

- 1
Heat butter or oil in a medium pot. Add onions and nutmeg, and saute for a few minutes until softened.
- 2
Add parsnips, dates, salt and a sprinkle of pepper. Saute for a minute or two, then pour in the water or broth.
- 3
Bring to a simmer and cover with lid. Turn to low heat and simmer 10-20 minutes until parsnips are tender. Add a little more liquid if necessary during cooking.
- 4
Once the parsnips are tender, remove lid and increase the heat. Boil off almost all of the remaining liquid until it thickens into a "glaze." Stir frequently while boiling and be careful not burn towards the end. Adjust salt & pepper if necessary.
- 5
Serve hot, garnishing with fresh chopped herbs. Or let cool for 1-2 hours, garnishing with herbs right before serving.

This is an easy dinner to prepare. It is moist (thigh meat) with lots of Italian flavor. It’s also a go-to meal for large group gatherings, especially when entertaining takes you away from the kitchen.

Beef Bourguignon
This classic French dish (bœuf bourguignon) is beef cubes slow-cooked and braised in a red wine / beef stock with a few carrots, mushrooms, pearl onions and a bouget garni. It is a standard in French cooking and a great holiday meal to prepare, along-side another classic, Duchess Potatoes. Beef Bourguignon of course can be found in the book, “Mastering the Art of French Cooking” however I took the liberty with a few steps to simplify things a bit and of course to enhance the flavors.
Chickpea & Veggie Soup with Ditalini
This recipe is adapted from a soup recipe that I found on the back of a Kroger's box of ditalini pasta! 👏😊 This is like a ham & bean soup meets vegetable noodle soup.🤷🏻♀️ Or a distant cousin of "pasta e fagioli" (pasta with beans) or "pasta e ceci" (pasta with chickpeas.) 😎👌 I loosely followed the box recipe, though I adjusted some measurements & substituted, as well as, added some ingredients. This soup turned out beautifully and was delicious! 👍👍 #ditalinirecipe #souprecipes #chickpearecipe #noodlesoup #veggienoodlesoup #pastaefagioli #pastaececi #hamandbean #veggienoodlesoup #homemadesoup

Roasted Winter Squash with Cinnamon and Nutmeg
One of my favorite ways to prepare sweeter squashes like kabocha and butternut is oven roasting because it brings out their sweetness and is soooo delicious! I just got a big kabocha squash from my garden so I tried roasting with cinnamon and nutmeg since those spices are a nice complement to squash. The touch of cayenne gives it a little bite but is optional :)Besides kabocha and butternut, squashes like acorn, delicata or anything on the sweet end would work well.

Braised eggplant and tofu in Claypot 鱼香茄子煲🍆#veggies#
This veggies dish really tastes better than a meaty dish and the bonus is it is much easy to digest with tons of cancer fighting benefits from galangal and eggplant skin. Pixian fermented bean paste is a Chinese staple condiment and is the key ingredient for cooking Sichuan cuisine, using an ancient way of fermentation for a whole year using a special kind of chili and broadband. This paste is the secret turning easy going eggplant and flavorless tofu into delicious sponges that soak up amazing sauce. Gather a bag of Pixian fermented bean paste and let's cook this wonderful dish. This dish is great to serve with brown rice or on top of paste.
Christmas Chicken Stuffing
This is an essential recipe for Christmas. Our family enjoys both rice and bread stuffing, but this is the bread stuffing version. The scent of the spice and herbs reminds me of the Christmas season.Use plenty of spice such as cinnamon and nutmeg to add a more Christmas-like flavor. If the stuffing is too dry, it'll be hard to stuff it into the chicken, and if it's too wet, it won't absorb all the chicken juice. If you can squeeze it with your hand and it sticks together, you have reached the ideal consistency. Wait until the stuffing has cooled completely before stuffing the chicken. Recipe by fanifani

Hot N Sour Soup
This is a soup I make often. It's low calorie, filling, super easy and made with easily available grocery items. Obviously, this should be modified to your taste. I've learned to taste the broth as I make it. This recipe is written as if I had everything on hand, but I've made this soup with only broth, egg, carrot, soy sauce and vinegar - still tasty. This also adapts well to using ramen noodles instead of cabbage. Enjoy experimenting!
