Carrot Hummus
As with many roasted vegetables, the volume shrinks as you cook. What looks like enough carrots for a crowd may end up fitting into a small serving bowl. You can count on one pound of carrots serving 6 people or so. Serve with crudités (I think it goes better with celery than with cucumber), flat…
Roasted Spiced Sweet Potatoes
I love roasted potatoes. By using sweet potatoes, you add beta carotene and vitamins A and C. For a simpler recipe, you could easily prepare them just by tossing with olive oil and sprinkling with salt and pepper and maybe some oregano or basil or any spice of your liking. You can use dried herbs…
Spiced Lentil and Quinoa Stew
As the weather gets colder and it gets dark earlier, comfort foods are the way to go.

Cranberry relish with pecans
This is a good tart, crunchy accompaniment to turkey. You can leave it tart, or add more sugar or chopped apple to make it sweet. I know the big turkey day has passed, but maybe you still have leftovers. Also, sometimes I prepare a turkey breast on the weekend to have a few quick meals…
