Turnip Greens Fry Up

It will take awhile for these tiny starts to get to harvesting size but the photo on the left is from today and the one on the right is a couple of weeks ago at about Dec. 25th - so three weeks growth.  Just for laughs, I planted a few sprouted turnip tops (just keep the top 1″ of the turnip root under the greens) in an outdoor planter to see what would happen. It worked - I’m stunned and excited with the results - novice gardener here.  They have even made it through a half dozen freezes according to my husband - down to the upper 20′s in the Portland, OR area.  A gardening video suggested covering with burlap so that worked well, too.  Until these are large enough to “cut and come back”, I’ll enjoy turnip greens form my local market - here’s how...

oil

1/2 c. cider vinegar

2 Granny smith apples, cored, chopped with skins on

ground black pepper to taste

1 large onion, chopped

4 c. turnip greens

In a large fry pan, add oil, vinegar, apples, black pepper, and onion.  Saute until onions are just beginning to caramelize then add turnip greens tossing well with cooked vegetables.  Watch closely as they will cook down and be ready to serve before you know it.  These are great as they come or served with a slice of pork roast and baked squash on the side.

When I’m not thinking up ways to serve a healthy meal to the family yet squeeze in enough time for everything else, I’m sewing cotton pocket aprons for my online shops - www.amazon.com/handmade/topdrawerthreads or www.etsy.com/shop/topdrawerthreads .

Or I’m knitting warm winter hats from upcycled yarn for my other shop - www.etsy.com/shop/topdraweryarns .

My daughter’s have an online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/yesdesigns - where they design and sew cotton pocket knickers for fun and frolic. 

My older daughter has an online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/wildwovenwomen where she knits upcycled yarns into striped warm winter throws and afghans.

My younger daughter has an online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/shroombloombags - where she crochets fine cotton threads into miniature mushroom garlands in rainbow colors.

Scrumptious Split Pea Parsnip Soup

True to it’s name, this split pea soup with parsnips - carrots - celery - onions is mouth watering while it’s simmering and scrumptious as you spoon it up from deep soup bowls.  It’s no trouble to fix and fits well with my healthy eating plan.

2 c. yellow split peas

6 c. water

1 lg. onion, diced

3 carrots, sliced thin

1 lg. parsnip, sliced thin

1 1/2 c. celery with tops, sliced thin

2 t. salt

2 t. pepper

2 t. garlic powder

1 bay leaf

In a large soup pot, add split peas, water, onion, carrots, parsnip, celery, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and bat leaf.  Cover and bring to a boil, then turn to simmer until the split peas are tender - spell that fallen apart...about 60 minutes.  

Once I’ve put some soup on to simmer, I race downstairs to sew cotton pocket wrap aprons for my online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/topdrawerthreads .

Or I’m putting the finishing touches on crocheted upcycled recycled throw rugs worked by me from cotton strips for my other shop - www.etsy.com/shop/topdraweryarns .

Focaccia

Step aside bleached white flour…focaccia is great made with whole wheat flour and even better for you.  Try this with some coarse black pepper ground over  the dough before baking or add some pine nuts gently pushed into the top.  No dairy or added sugar so it’s part of my healthy eating plan.  It’s great served along side your favorite vegetable soup or the next  day for breakfast with a poached egg and tomato slices…

2 c. whole wheat flour

1 t. salt

2 t. yeast

¾ c. lukewarm water

3 T. + olive oil

¼ t. + coarse sea salt

1 stem fresh rosemary

Option:  ground black pepper, pine nuts pushed into the dough before baking

In a large mixing bowl, mix whole wheat flour, table salt and yeast with a whisk to integrate all ingredients. Add water and 2 T. of oil mixing well until a ball forms.  Very lightly oil dough, place in a mixing bowl in a warm spot in your kitchen covering with a towel.  Let rise for 2 - 3 hrs. until doubled in size. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.  In a 10″ baking dish, brush oil on bottom and sides placing dough but stretching as needed to touch all sides.  Sprinkle coarse salt and rosemary needles only over top making a few divots.  Drizzle oil over all. Let rest covered by a kitchen towel for 30 min.  Turn the oven down to 400 degrees and pop this dough into the oven for 25 min.  

In between dough rising stints, I’m sewing cotton pocket aprons in my basement sewing studio for my online shops - www.etsy.com/shop/topdrawerthreads and www.amazon.com/handmade/topdrawerthreads .

Caprese Zoodle Salad

Playing with the idea of zoodles (zucchini noodles) but aren’t sure how to find them or how to fix them.  Zoodles can be found prepared in the frozen section at your local grocers, with the pre-cut vegetables in the produce dept., or do it yourself with a spiralizer tool.  Use them fresh or just barely cooked in a fry pan. So very much a part of a healthy diet, so check ‘em out.

3 - 4 c. zucchini, cut into noodles using a spralizer or pre-cut at your grocers

4 oz. red cherry tomatoes, halved

4 oz. gold cherry tomatoes, halved

8 oz. small balls of Buffalo mozzarella, drained

½ c. prepared pesto, check ingredients listing for no added sugar

fresh basil leaves ribbon cut for garnish

Combine zucchini noodles, tomatoes, and mozzarella in a large bowl.  Add pesto and toss until coated.  Garnish with fresh basil and serve, refrigerating any leftovers.

When I’m not throwing together a fresh salad, I’m sewing cotton batik print aprons for my online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/topdrawerthreads and www.amazon.com/handmade/topdrawerthreads . 

Or I’m cruising my favorite reccyled/upcycled yarn sources for great textures and colors to knit into scarves and hats - www.etsy.com/shop/topdraweryarns .
