Root Vegetables with Walnut Sage Crumble

February 1, 2015 by The Runaway Spoon 2 Comments

Rich, hearty root vegetables in a beautiful palate of colors. These sturdy … [Read more...] about Root Vegetables with Walnut Sage Crumble

It is that time.  My stock of frozen sauce made from summer’s freshest tomatoes is dwindling, and I am hoarding those last little bags.  Hey, I do like a sauce made from quality canned tomatoes as well (my standard Bolognese uses them), but after a steady diet of the fresh stuff, it’s heard to switch over.  That’s where this comes in.  A bridge Bolognese if … [Read more...] about White Bolognese Sauce

I'm P.C. I think I am like most people. Somewhere in the middle between food snob and food schlub. Just being in the kitchen makes me happy. I live, mostly in my kitchen, in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
