Roasted Beets with Capers, Goat Cheese and Balsamic Honey Dressing

A simple dish that can be made to look quite pretty, if you can be bothered.   In the fridge are some balsamic capers which are delicious and work really well with this dish, but regular capers will work just fine if that’s all you can get your hands on.

Couscous and Quinoa Gratin

This is a simple dish to use up leftover greens and grains.  I melted brie in mine, but definitely recommend a stronger cheese- telaggio, goat cheese, or even feta.  We ate ours with a balsamic pesto.

Butternut Squash, Spinach, Brie, and Mushroom Stuffed Crepes/Pancakes with Balsamic Roasted Tomatoes

Kale-Pistachio Pesto with Balsamic Roasted Tomatoes and Smokey Facon

We wanted to get rid of the kale, so we gave  the conventional basil pesto a healthy twist…. healthy until it was saturated with parmesan and butter.  Oops.  Balsamic roasted tomatoes and some green beans really filled out this orzo-based dish.
