Spaghetti Squash & Kale Gratin


What is this, an actual food post? It's been ages, I know.


I've been hunkering down and doing some serious cooking in the past couple of weeks. I purchased some brussels sprouts still attached to the stalk, roasted them, tossed them with quinoa and garnished the dish with pomegranate seeds. After reading this article on sweet potatoes, I immediate went out and bought some to make this.


There are certain vegetables I've always wanted to try but haven't gotten around to (rutabaga, you are still on my list) and spaghetti squash is one of them, so I picked one up when I went apple picking several weeks back. At the farmers' market, I saw a beautiful variety of kale that I haven't tried before (lacinato or black kale, though I quite like the name dinosaur), bought a soft cheese recommended to me by a vendor and bam, a meal was born.

Swiss Chard, Potato & Sweet Potato Gratin



The past few weeks have been a wonderful stroll down memory lane. There was lunch with high school friends, some of who I only get to see about once a year, and we caught up on each other's lives and reminisced about the past. The week before that, I visited my university roommate in Hamilton and we had a lazy weekend enjoying each other's company. It's moments like these that makes me wonder where time has gone and when exactly it was that we entered adulthood.
