Sea Salt & Olive Oil Roasted Turnips

Am I the only one who always forgets about turnips? I honestly walk by them in the grocery store about every 19 trips out of 20, then all of a sudden I have this immense craving for them. Perhaps it s because it s fall, perhaps it s because it s chilly, but I was craving turnips again the other day while grocery shopping. I brought one home where of course, it sat for a few days. I then panicked, like I usually do, and rushed to use it up the other night.The post Sea Salt & Olive Oil Roasted Turnips appeared first on The Kitchen Magpie.

Spinach, Tomato & Chickpea Stew

I absolutely love a fast, healthy soup for lunch when Fall hits. I don t mind fussing around with a more complex soup for supper when I have time but when it comes to lunch, it has to be very fast and easy. I m now busy homeschooling the kids during the day and wow, has my kitchen time gone down! I know that we only have the first month under our belt and that it s going to get better and better, but for now, my kitchen time is spent running back and forth between helping them at the kitchen table and the stove. I wanted a really fast soup this past week, something that was super healthy and really fast.The post Spinach, Tomato & Chickpea Stew appeared first on The Kitchen Magpie.

Rostizado in Edmonton, Alberta

If Tres Carnales is the swingin younger sister in hoop earrings and a sequined dress doing tequila shots off of a bare-chested bartender, then Rostizado is her older sister, comfortably laid back in some well-loved jeans, savoring the multi-layered flavors of a good mescal, sans the trendy worm. That, my Edmonton friends, sums up the two restaurants more than anything else I or anyone else can write about it. Are you a sequins or jeans person? I am a jeans person and while some of you may argue that I can party like an animal when the occasion arises (and I completely concede that point to you) I haven t been the hoop earrings and sequins kinda girl in many a year. Tres Carnales is flashy, quick, crazy-wild fun that has line-ups but no lingering.The post Rostizado in Edmonton, Alberta appeared first on The Kitchen Magpie.
