Prompted by a friend that likes the photos and food ideas posted on the Beth and the Biscuit Facebook page, I’ve put together a few zoomy items that would feel good this fall. These recipes and meals come from phenom bloggers I admire for their food and/or food and photography.
If you cook like I do, these recipes are IDEAS that point to a tasty plate, they are NOT the tasty plate. It becomes a spiritual exercise. A Food Yoga. Look to your Farmer’s Markets for alternate colors and flavors.
Simple Market Plate: from Carrie on Vegan
What’s in it? Warming up this plate for the fall, I’ve adjusted the meal slightly to what appeals to me now at the Farmer’s Market. Baked sweet potato, sautéed spinach or fall greens, beans (I’d make chili or barbecue beans, personally), caramelized onions, roasted beets (or pickled – yum), and Carrie’s vegan take on Bob’s Big Boy Roquefort cheese spread.
