Orange-Braised Carrots & Parsnips
These Orange-Braised Carrots & Parsnips are slow-roasted at a very low temperature, which intensifies the flavor. Parsnips are cousins to carrots, with a similar texture to potatoes. I love parsnips and feel like they are underutilized in the US. They have a sweet and mildly nutty taste.

Melting Cabbage
Melting Cabbage literally melts in your mouth. It's nestled in a bed of caramelized fennel and braised in tomato and wine and finished in the oven. You add parmesan rind, which is an Italian trick that adds depth of flavor. I keep parmesan rinds in a bag in the freezer and use them in soups and stews.

I love green beans and I adore fresh dill. These French-Cut Green Beans with Dill Butter are a match made in heaven. Frenching green beans is easy, if you have a French Cut Green Bean Cutter.

Welsh Onion Cake
Yesterday was my husband's birthday. I made him this Welsh Onion Cake, which has layers of softened onions, leeks and potatoes with some Caerphilly cheese crumbled throughout. Caerphilly is a hard, crumbly white cheese that originated in the area around the town of Caerphilly, Wales. If you can't find it, you can use a sharp cheddar instead. Welsh Onion Cake is a traditional dish to serve on St. David's Day, the patron saint of Wales, which is March 1st.

Tuscan-Style Roasted Asparagus
As we are approaching asparagus season, I made this Tuscan-Style Roasted Asparagus, which has pinenuts, lemon, finished off with some freshly grated parmesan cheese. Asparagus is low in calories and a great source of nutrients, including fiber, folate and vitamins A, C and K. Eating asparagus can potentially help with weight loss, improved digestion, healthy pregnancy outcomes and lower blood pressure.
