I’ll be making this recipe adapted from one on seriouseats.com because I have some red curry paste leftover from testing recipes and am delighted to have yet another use for it. Not to mention, what’s not to love about a slow cooker recipe? Easy, and dinner is done while you’re off doing other things. You could use the Swiss chard or the bok choy if you have another plan for your kale, and vary the other vegetables by what you have on hand.

Old-Fashioned Buttermilk Ranch Dressing
This is one of my favorite cookbooks! If you like ranch dressing, you’ll love this. It’s exactly what you remember ranch dressing to be, without a lot of stuff that you don’t have in your kitchen. It amazed me the first time that I made homemade ranch dressing. We’re enjoying this tonight, with a huge salad with other veggies (radishes!) and ham, as soon as I finish writing this up.
Creamy Lettuce and Garlic Soup
Sometimes you want something to do with lettuce besides eat it in a salad. This recipes is from seriouseats.com. You can serve this soup chilled or hot. It goes together in minutes.
Swiss Chard and Herb Tart
This ancient recipe came from Bon Appetit maybe a dozen years ago. Bake it as an entree or cut into smaller wedges as a pre-dinner bite for Thanksgiving.
Bess Feigenbaum’s Cabbage Soup
This recipe comes from The National in Manhattan. It is my favorite winter soup – a sweet and sour cabbage soup – a very traditional Jewish recipe. This is the vegan version, but you can add a piece of brisket or chuck roast and turn it into a meaty winter meal if you wish.
Autumn Vegetable Soup
The days are still warm but cool nights have me craving soup. This recipe is adapted from one in Fine Cooking magazine.
Collard Green Breakfast Bake
We ran this recipe in the AJC as part of a story on healthy eating. Love this dish – this is my idea of breakfast comfort food. Except that I wouldn’t eat it at breakfast. Makes a great brunch or dinner.
Asian Peanut Noodles
This recipe came from chow.com. Udon noodles are Japanese wheat noodles and soba noodles are Japanese buckwheat noodles. They can be found in gourmet grocery stores or in Asian markets. If you are having a hard time finding them, you can substitute whole-wheat linguine or spaghetti.
Basil Chicken with Potatoes
This recipe comes from “ Homestyle Family Favorites Annual Recipes 2008 .” Hope you still have some basil in your garden.
