Cauliflower Quinoa Cakelets

a_house_in_the_hills_cauliflower_cakelets_2015-7

I think I could spend a lifetime coming up with vegetable/grain/legume combos to make into cakelets and fry up- I just LOVE them!  And these guys are no exception.  Plus they’re amazing with Tabasco or chimichurri and I love an excuse to eat either one of those.  In case you love them as much as I do, here are a few blast from the past recipes that you might enjoy as well:  Truffle Salted Purple Potato and Kale Cakes, Asparagus and Corn Cakes, Potato, Leek and Mushroom Cakelets, Chickpea Cakelets with Harissa Aioli.  They’re all so yummy and fun to eat!  I usually serve alongside a big, simple salad.  Hope you love!  xx- Sarah

Goodness Bowl #2

veggie_bowl_a_house_in_the_hills_22015-1-14

I know it’s been a minute since I’ve shared a recipe- but I hope this one will make up for it!  And now that I’m bunking up with a stylist- well things just got even prettier around here!  What you’re seeing here is tri-color quinoa, roasted veggies (beets, broccoli, butternut squash) and a citrus turmeric dressing.  This recipe makes enough for leftovers if two people are enjoying it- which is great, and a little extra dressing that can be enjoyed on other vegetable or fish dishes!  It’s my first time using raw turmeric and I’m now obsessed.  Please expect my fingers to be permanently yellow!  I hope you make it, I hope you love it as much as I do, and I hope you have a giant good old fashioned belly laugh at least once today!! xx- Sarah  {see my last goodness bowl here}

Goodness Bowl #1

Sarah_Yates_a_house_in_the_hills_goodness_bowl-8

Hello my friends!  Who still wants to be snuggled under the covers?  THIS GIRL!!!!  But Monday, we must go on.  I’ve been keeping myself sane and healthy through the past couple of weeks with comforting bowls of healthy foods, doing everything I can to keep my immune system strong!  For us this is the easiest way to eat- throwing a bunch of vegetables on top of a grain and drizzling it with a yummy sauce.  It’s also the easiest to shop for- if I stock the fridge with piles of vegetables and some staples for sauces (cilantro, avocado, ginger, miso, tahini, etc) we’ll be all set for days, with very little thought or preparation.  So, I’ll be sharing some of my goodness bowls, (previously known as the HOLY FUCK WE HAVE TO BE OUT OF OUR HOUSE NEXT WEEK AND HAVEN’T SORTED A NEW PLACE Bowl) in the coming weeks.  Hope you love!  xx- Sarah

Browned Cauliflower, Mache and Red Quinoa Salad

This might be my new favorite salad.  First, I love mache.  It’s my favorite salad green lately.  Second, browned cauliflower tossed in chimichurri?  YES PLEASE!!  And third: I’m pretty sure toasted pine nuts were sent directly from the Gods.  This salad is super healthy, filling, and has a serious amount of flavor.  I know you’re going to love it!  Enjoy.  xx- Sarah

Hello my friends!  Today I have these delectable little potato, leek and mushroom cakelets for you!  I have a deep love for the earthy pairing of potatoes and mushrooms.  And these cakelets- they’re crispy, savory, super easy to make, and totally satisfying.  We enjoyed ours with a giant salad and white wine.  I highly recommend!  Also, if you have leftovers- they’re amazing with an egg on top as a breakfast treat!!!  Enjoy!  xx- Sarah

Chickpea Minestrone

It’s soup o’clock!  Which is pretty much all day every day at our house this time of year.  I can’t get enough.  And this hearty chickpea minestrone is so tasty and easy to whip up, I know you’ll love it too!  If you’re really looking for comfort, this would be amazing with a crusty sourdough and a glass of wine.  With chocolate for dessert. Problems, WHAT?!  Enjoy!  xx- Sarah
