Meat Lite: Creamy Celery Root Soup (with or Without Chicken)

Last winter I got really into celery root. It's such a random ingredient, but it keeps so well in the fridge, I surprised myself by adding it to my usual Sundried Tomato Fritattas and root veg soups and finding it to be an amazing combination! Will def be trying this.

Dinner Tonight: Pasta with Parsnips and Bacon

It's funny, I've never really thought of adding parsnips to pasta because they seem too starchy and dry when coupled with the noodles.I added root veggies to this Autumn Pasta Salad and it was surprisingly flavorful. Will definitely reconsider the parsnip as a worthy addition!

Eat for Eight Bucks: Cold Sesame Noodles

Whole wheat spaghetti is a great way to put a healthy spin on this dish! Personally, I am a sucker for Peanut Udon Noodles which are definitely meatless, but also a little more glutenous!

Dinner Tonight: Grilled Chipotle Flank Steak Torta

I've never tried a Mexican Torta, but I love making soft tacos of sorts with marinated flank steak like this Carne Asada with Chipotle-Mango Salsa. I'm sure the chipotles in adobo directly on the steak tastes fabulous. Try adding some mango to the torta, it goes really well with the smokey, spicy chipotle!

Thanks for the recipe!

The Secret Ingredient (Anchovy): Green Caesar Salad

I love anchovies hidden here and there. Try adding anchovy paste to other dressed vegetables, it makes all the difference. I use it in these Roasted Vegetables with Salsa Verde and in Sicilian Fettuccine.

Dinner Tonight: Pasta with Turkey Meatballs and Bocconcini Mozzarella

I love meatballs in pasta. I made these Mini Meatballs the other day with a similar flavor combo and they were great. I prefer mixing beef and veal for a perfect juicy ball.

Meat Lite: Spaghetti with Squash-Sausage-Sage Sauce

this looks amazing! I made a butternut squash mac n cheese with a sage topping the other day and it was so good. The sweetness of the squash really goes nicely with sharp, nutty cheese like Parmesan. Will have to try this with sausage, I'm sure it's beyond smokey and delicious. If you want to try the mac, recipe will be up tomorrow! www.biggirlssmallkitchen.com

Cakespy: The Pumpkin-Apple-Pecan Pie

haha, this is amazing. such fun!

I personally am not a pie person, so I vote for this uber-chocolatey pumpkin">http://www.biggirlssmallkitchen.com/2009/04/baking-for-others-1-2-3.html">pumpkin pecan chocolate chip bread. perhaps add apple too if you like to complete the holy trinity!

Meat Lite: Potato and Sausage Pizza

This sounds delicious. I actually make two types of focaccia--potato pesto and sausage-tomato--for non-meatlovers and carnivores to pick at. The combination of potato and sausage though sounds amazing. I think I will have to try this! My favorite dough of course, being focaccia!

Gluten-Free Tuesday: Millet

My mother has been gluten free for as long as I can remember, and she would always make millet growing up. One trick she taught me now that I am cooking on my own, is to use millet flour instead of regular flour to dredge chicken and fish with before pan-frying. It actually creates a much crispier finish than regular flour, and even though I am not gluten free, I have stuck with it! Try it with this Lightly Fried Tilapia with Caper Brown Butter and you'll see what I mean!

Eat for Eight Bucks: Chili Roasted Chicken and Sweet Potatoes

I love that you roast the chicken directly on top of the sweet potatoes. What a great idea. Would this work with breasts, or are they too thick to match the timing with the sweet potatoes? If so, I am going to try this with regular potatoes and this lemon-garlic chicken!

Pan Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Candied Pepitas and Cider Vinegar

This sounds so so good! What a great idea to use pepitas. I've gone the pistachio route before, but I think I will have to try this!

Seriously Asian: Thai Curries, Part One: Lobster in Yellow Curry Sauce

Perhaps it's always because I buy my curry paste in chinatown for my Thai Green Curry Chicken, but I never realized spices like ground tumeric, cumin, and coriander were that popular in Thai cuisine. Are they used in many other dishes besides curries? What is the history behind yellow curry in Thailand?

This looks pretty darn delicious, but perhaps made more delicious by an

Dinner Tonight: Braised Lentils with Winter Greens and a Fried Egg

Wow, one of my favorite fall dishes is Red Wine Braised Lentils, but I'm never sure what to put with them to satisfy non-vegetarians. I've begun integrating veggie sausage for myself and regular sausage for others, but this egg looks like the best way to please both parties. I am literally drooling.

Dinner Tonight: Spinach and Chickpea Curry

this sounds delicious, and not too unlike my favorite Spinach and Chickpea Spanish Tapas that I'm always bulking up for a main course vegetarian stew. I'm sure the Indian spices work really really well here. Thanks!

mmm I love love love pumpkin breads. I just made this slightly more decadent Pumpkin Pecan Chocolate Chip Bread. Perhaps so decadent, it's best served with coffee :)
