Here, in the Midwest, if you blink you miss the beautiful weather. We tend to have very short bursts of spring and fall before it&#39;s either hot and humid or stark and cold. No wonder I love it so much. We humans tend to appreciate things most when we don&#39;t have them but for a short and wonderful time.

Apples, not cooler days or back-to-school time, are my first sign that I know fall is coming. Even while there are tomatoes and peppers and summer bounty at the farmers&#39; market, when I see the first of the apples I know the season is changing. At the end of October and last two markets in early November, I buy all the apples for our Thanksgiving meals, because it&#39;s not just apple pie on our </atom:summary><link>http://expatriateskitchen.blogspot.com/2014/12/how-do-you-like-your-apples.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (ExpatChef)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqG6-O1M5oHuYz0C_mNZC-pPjPeC6_MZCRElO-wkG5xIWVSvaxFh7GzKZSnNbK8dfUmUVKrtTQfe7c6VwEt32thKwGCu_U6F9ZI0q_NdMrxio6FAkjxoIPF6RLKP7-MGom8rw_qA/s72-c/IMG_2953.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6510795.post-1119233919815662325</guid><pubDate>Sun, 05 Oct 2014 15:31:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2019-06-03T21:38:38.166-05:00</atom:updated><title>Sweet Potato and Quinoa Cakes with Chipotle Aioli and Micro Greens</title><atom:summary type="text">





I pretty much hate &quot;veggie burgers.&quot; It&#39;s not for a lack of trying. My taste buds have endured one too many &quot;chikn&quot; patties that taste worse than the box they come in. My heart goes out to vegetarians and vegans everywhere. You people have had to endure a lot of lousy stuff for the sake of your choices.

Happy New Year, everyone!



This year, today in fact, marks a 12-month project I am working on with Edible Kansas City and all of you. It&#39;s called the &quot;Get Real Resolution.&quot; I hope you&#39;ll join us in this no-fight, no-diet New Year journey to understand the why behind healthy food.



Face it, we nag and our kids shut down.

We moms get a lot of surprises in our lives. Everything from &quot;projectile launch&quot; by a kid with stomach flu on Christmas morning to trying to identify what the dog just ate from the scraps on the floor (a Christmas ornament, really?). Can we handle being ambushed by broccoli, too?

You bet!

It&#39;s not too hard to understand why we moms would be tempted to sneak around. Only 21 percent of our kids are eating their &quot;five a day.&quot; Some of our kids can make even a piece of fruit into a battle of wills.

I&#39;m on the fence over the mandatory mashed potatoes for the feast. There will be traditionalists among us who will expect the standard fare right down to giblets and wiggling can-shaped blog of cranberry stuff that no one eats. There will be kids, not mine, who may only eat the mashed potatoes and turkey (not touching, of course). My kid won&#39;t eat mashed potatoes.

It&#39;s a tough job for a green vegetable to compete for a place on the plate at Thanksgiving. Mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing and the whole carb overload may not leave room for even the smallest Brussels sprout. Plus, its hard enough to get folks to eat these without all the other options.
