Latkes–fluffy, savory pancakes made of grated potatoes–make a filling base for a cold-weather meal. We make them with regular potatoes, but we also like them made with sweet potatoes, whose bright orange color fits our fall mood so well. Sweet potatoes are also loaded with nutrients, so be thankful if they’ve been showing up at [...]

Posted in beer, cabbage, kale, leeks, potatoes, whole grains, tagged baking, cooking, culture, Food, history, recipes, Robert Burns, rumpledethump, Scottish food on January 25, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Today is Robert Burns’s birthday, and since I’m both of Scottish descent and lacking meal ideas, I decided to dedicate tonight’s dinner to Scottish traditional food. We’re having rumpledethump (onion, mashed potato, and cabbage casserole), smoked salmon, and oat bannocks alongside Bellhaven Scottish ale. I may also add leek and tattie soup–better known as potato-leek [...]

Given that Arkansas has an award-winning brewery and darn good locally produced raw-milk cheddar from cows that get to eat real grass, I thought a variation on Wisconsin’s renowned cheese soup might be in order for our Ozark croft. The recipe is easy, and you should be able to make your own local, organic version [...]

This week I ordered lamb from Conway Locally Grown, a regional variation on CSAs that I’ve blogged about here in the past. We do not ordinarily eat red meat. As a matter of fact, I had been years and years without eating it until December 2009. What happened then? A friend who has an annual [...]

Copyright 2010 Ozarkhomesteader. Posting of short excerpts with a full link is welcome. I’m pledged on this blog to post recipes that are mostly created using local, seasonal ingredients. One of our new favorites among winter soups is Zuppa, an Italian soup from Tuscany that uses lots of kale, leeks, and Italian sausage. I served [...]
Shepherd’s Pot Pie: Using Holiday Leftovers

Tonight I’m just not sure what to make for dinner. We have few things that “have to” be eaten except for leftovers. I thought of making turkey pot pie, but that would leave the potatoes. I thought of making shepherd’s pie, but I’d prefer to make it with ground meat. So I’ve decided to make [...]
Turkey Hash. Mmmmmmm.

We had a turkey this year that was almost eighteen pounds. It was absolutely beautiful. We ate quite a bit of it the week of Thanksgiving–as unmolested leftovers, turkey tetrazzini, turkey enchiladas, turkey sandwiches–, but I froze the rest in packages weighed for individual meals. Tonight I used one of the freezer packs for my personal [...]
An Ozark tribute to Hanukkah

In case you hadn’t guessed, we’re not Jewish. We can still appreciate a variation on Hanukkah food, though, since it’s in season and able to be locally grown (much of which we got from Conway Locally Grown). Tonight we had latkes (potato pancakes) served with yogurt (in lieu of sour cream), braised onions and red [...]
