Seasonal Vegetarian Recipes – Winter in California

I will be away this weekend on a business trip to Vegas and V is still heads-down at work. So it doesn’t look like we will be able to post anything new. The blog is still new and there aren’t that many posts, but I thought I would post a compilation of seasonal winter recipes.

California is facing one of the worst drought in decades, although as I look out the window, I see rain clouds and with it blossoms a slight glimmer of hope in my heart. I was not able to chat with any of the farmers at our Saturday Farmer’s Market about the rain situation, but I am sure the drought puts a lot of stress on them. I hope all of us are being conscious of our water usage. We owe it to this Golden State of ours; beautiful, sunny California.

Below is a compilation of recipes from the winter vegetables I got from the farmer’s market this season, including root vegetables (parsnips, turnips, radishes, and beets), leeks, winter squashes (butternut, kabocha, delicata), and cruciferous vegetables (cabbage, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, broccoli rapini, collard greens, mustard greens, kale, and oh, bok choy which is the only one I cannot stand).
