Kitchen Experiment – Parsnip Pancakes

Parsnips.  An interesting vegetable.  Maybe you have noticed them at the grocery store and thought that they were a pale carrot. They kind of look like that.  Maybe you were like me and ignored them for years because you just didn’t know what to do with them.  In the past several years I have added them into myContinue reading “Kitchen Experiment – Parsnip Pancakes”

Kitchen Experiments – Millet Ravioli with butternut squash, walnuts and sage

Well, I think that this experiment was a success! What do you think? It was a learning experience!  I think I overstuffed the ravioli with cheese and so I was afraid to actually boil them, so I baked them instead.  They were a little crispy but with the butternut squash, walnuts and sage sauteed in ghee,Continue reading “Kitchen Experiments – Millet Ravioli with butternut squash, walnuts and sage”

So, I got thinking. What else can I do with Ricotta cheese?  Pasta sounds good!  Raviolis sound great!  But this is my milet day in my 4 day rotation.  Is it possible to make gluten-free pasta with millet and without eggs?  This is not my egg day, that was yesterday. Thank goodness for Google!  Well, IContinue reading “Kitchen Experiments – Millet Ravioli”
