Best Thanksgiving Recipe Round Ups

 Follow me | Pinterest | Instagram | Facebook



A compilation or Thanksgiving recipe round ups from bloggers. Hundreds of recipes for decor, planning, special diets, special appliances, appetizers through desserts. Your one stop Thanksgiving spot!

Since I grew up with a mom who said 'let's make it look like a great plenty', I decided to have a monster round up of Thanksgiving Recipe Round Ups. I asked my blogger friends for their best round ups, and boy did they deliver! There are hundreds of recipes aggregated below. To help find what you're looking for, I've broken them into category. You'll find sides, mains, desserts. You'll find low carb, vegetarian, and healthy. You'll find slow cooker, pressure cooker, and no bake. I hope there is something for everyone. I'm going to start with my newest clickable collage. Please feel free to click on the image to go to the link.  Now dive right in!

How We Eat in the Summer

 How do food bloggers really eat in the summer? I polled a bunch yesterday and created a round up of favorite summer dishes to help you through the dog days of summer!

http://www.farmfreshfeasts.com/2015/08/how-we-eat-in-summer.html


Originally I was going to write a post about how I eat in the summer. The plate above is a prime example--a bit of beet and goat cheese spread, some garlic scape pistachio pesto hummus, and a yellow squash version of zucchini pancakes. All are made ahead of time, and combined with some quick pickled vegetables, olives, cheese, meat and crackers.

Then I got to thinking--this will be a pretty boring post if it's just my favorite sampler plates [above is potluck tabbouleh, grilled green beans, hummus and mini naan bread with salami, feta, olives and the first sun gold cherry tomatoes from our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm share]. Since my goal is to be a resource for folks eating from the farm share, the farmer's market and generous gardens, I figured I should offer a wider array of options. So I asked a few food blogger friends to share their favorite summer dish, and I've got them for you below. Such a colorful array of food! [links appear below the collage, left to right, top to bottom]

I was delighted to notice that the majority of dishes are vegetable-centric. Eating food when it's picked at the point of ripeness and especially if it's been grown close by means that you're eating food  with as much flavor as possible. And that's always a Good Thing.

http://www.farmfreshfeasts.com/2015/08/how-we-eat-in-summer.html

I have to admit, though, that your first corn on the cob after you get your braces off is one of THE BEST summer dishes. Ever! Just ask my girlie.

There ya have it--a round up of summer dishes that us food bloggers crave. What do you crave?

28 Recipes Using Garlic Scapes {Recipe Round Up}

Got garlic scapes? Need inspiration? Here's a round up of more than 30 recipes, from appetizers to main dishes to side dishes, using that mild seasonal treat the garlic scape.


 Follow me | Pinterest | Instagram | Facebook

One of the reasons I started this blog was to provide practical support for local eating.  

Eating locally means you're eating foods in season--when they taste the best! It also means you're introduced to new foods. At the start of the farmer's market and CSA season these funny looking garlic scapes are many folks' first experience with a new food.


I'm so pleased with this Garlic Scape Recipe Round Up! Right here in one a single place I've gathered more than 28 recipes using this wonderfully versatile and locally available plant part.

Pin this for later!


Got garlic scapes? Need inspiration? Here's a round up of more than 30 recipes, from appetizers to main dishes to side dishes, using that mild seasonal treat the garlic scape.


The garlic scape is indeed a plant part! Like I use unwanted onion skins and celery leaves in my frugal freezer Soup Stock Packs, while saving the main part of the vegetable to use/eat directly, the scape is the {unwanted} flowering portion of the garlic bulb. After cutting off the scapes and using them in one of the dishes below, you'll still harvest the Main Attraction, the garlic bulb, a few weeks later.  How cool is that?

My fellow food bloggers and I share what you can fix if you have scapes from your garden (it's easy to grow your own garlic), your Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm share, or your farmer's market. Garlic scapes are ready to harvest all at once, only once a year, so it's a good idea to have a mess of ideas in your toolkit so you can plan ahead in the kitchen.


I've broken down the recipes by category [because cataloging recipes seems to be something I like to do on this blog]. I've got pestos, starters, sides and mains.  There are garlic scape recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  There are gluten free and vegan recipes using garlic scapes.  There are recipes for stove top, oven, microwave, and grill.


For even more recipes using garlic scapes, please see my Garlic and Garlic Scape Recipes Collection. It's part of the Visual Recipe Index by Ingredient, a resource for folks like me eating from the farm share, the farmer's market, the garden, the neighbor's garden, and great deals on ugly produce at the grocery store.


I'm sharing more recipes on my Pinterest boards, follow me there. If you like a good peek behind the scenes like I do, follow me on Instagram. Need a good read? I'm sharing articles of interest on my Facebook page, follow me there. Want to know How to Use This Blog?



My favorite way to use garlic scapes is to put up a mess of Garlic Scape Pistachio Pesto. I freeze it into small cubes and use it year round in salad dressings, Chicken Garlic Scape Meatballs, pizza sauces, Herbed Garlic Scape Cream Cheese Spread/Dip, my Cheesy Garlic Scape Pesto Flatbread, Grilled Garlic Scape Pesto Smashed Potatoes, Shrimp and Garlic Scape Pesto Scampi, and this hummus. I've got a quick video how I make it, and you can find the Garlic Scape Pistachio Pesto recipe specifics here.

While there is no single garlic scape pesto recipe, my favorite is my Garlic Scape Pistachio Pesto recipe. While arranging all the links these bloggers have thoughtfully provided for me, I found a wide variety of pesto recipes.  Each recipe below is different--using a variety of leaves, a variety of nuts, but always using the mild garlic scape.  I thought I knew all there was about putting up pesto, but there's a wealth of information, tips, and tricks in these posts.

The Starters category covers appetizers, dips, and soups. When the weather is warm I like to eat lighter, and having appetizers for a Dip Dinner keeps my kitchen cool and my family happy. Dip dinners with a big plate of whatever's handy from the farm share makes it a fun way to eat a lot of vegetables.

One of my goals this year is to increase the number of side dish recipes on this blog--here are some ideas for all of us to use this summer.  I'm currently inspired to try Sarah's Garlic Scape Vinaigrette in a pasta salad or as a marinade for grilled vegetables. For more inspiration check these recipes out:

The Main Dishes with Garlic Scapes category covers breakfast dishes through dinner meals.  I remember touring a garlic farm in Japan where there was garlic wine (I was pregnant and didn't taste it though the spouse said it was . . . interesting) but I don't recall a garlic dessert.  I'm glad.

In addition to these Clickable Collages [I learned how thanks to Anyonita's tutorial] I've also added a Garlic Scape Recipes board on Pinterest, where I've pinned each post and will continue adding as I find more recipes using garlic scapes throughout the internet.  If you missed my many calls for garlic scape recipes and would like me to pin yours to my board, please feel free to leave the link in the comments and I'll add to the post. Thanks!



Since I'm still finding links I'd been squirreling away, let's make this 28+ recipes! :)

Fall and Winter Fruit Recipe Round Up

When kids knock on your door selling something for a fundraiser, do you place an order?  Decline politely and send them on their way?  Offer instead to give a donation?

Some items (Girl Scout cookies, fresh fruit) I always buy.  Other things (chocolate bars, popcorn, mulch) merit a donation.  Some things (cheesecake) depend on my mood at the time.  When I order fresh fruit, though, sometimes I need a little inspiration to use it all up.

Since my son's band is selling fruit right now, I asked my fellow food bloggers for recipes using fresh Fall and Winter fruits. I've got a massive amount of recipes to share, so I broke them down by type of fruit and type of recipe. As you can see by the Visual Recipe Indices above, I like categories.
I've got sweet recipes, I've got savory recipes.  I've got vegan and gluten free recipes.  I've got alcoholic and non alcoholic recipes.  Recipes for every meal of the day--and then some to put up for later!
Poke around and see what you like, then click on the links below the photos to go to the food blog where you'll find each recipe.  And thanks for stopping by!

Whew.  Now if anyone can tell me how many blogs are represented by this list, so I can brag about 156 recipes from 66 bloggers, I'd give you a big kiss. Or a shout out--[thanks, Sarah from The Cook's Life!]
