Food Weekend

All food posts, all the time, at least through tomorrow - because there's so much to show and tell!

Earlier this week, we made whole wheat oat bagels, expanding our repertoire to something much healthier and every bit as delicious.

This may look like mac'n'cheese, but the cheddar-cheesy color actually comes from a sweet potato sauce we've made a few times since we arrived. It's basically sweet potato puréed with crème fraîche (sour cream) and spices. We did grate some gruyère on top, but more as a garnish. The whole thing went into the oven and was the perfect dish for the brisk days we've been having.

Salad's boring, except when there's apple and fresh French-style vinaigrette (Dijon mustard, balsamic and EVOO). Also French-style: we always eat our salad after the main course so that we have a light buffer between the plat and dessert.
