Colorful, peppery, and garlicky, this dish hits all the requirements for a Jones favorite. This recipe is one of the first I posted when we started this blog but the pictures were awful so I’m pulling it up from the archive in the hopes I can convince you to make it. This recipe is so…
Lemony Orzo with Roasted Broccoli
Brad’s second most frequently requested dish is roasted broccoli. (Jones Home trivia: his most requested is tacos.) This recipe takes that often unappreciated side dish and makes it the star of the show. Tossing the broccoli with orzo and zesty lemon juice makes it into a light, summary meal or hearty side. Our love affair…
Braised Red Cabbage with Apple Cider Vinegar
OK, I have to admit that it’s been two months since I made this cabbage but looking at these pictures makes me realize I have to make it again immediately. I feel like it’s always that way with cabbage – I totally forget about it as a meal option until something like St. Patrick’s Day…
Baked Sweet Potato Fries that are Actually Crispy – and Gluten Free!
We had gluten-free guests over for lunch and I knew I wanted to make our favorite salmon crab burgers (these pictures desperately need to be updated – I promise they’re more delicious than they look). Baked sweet potato fries are my favorite thing to serve on the side of these heavenly burgers, but the only…
Apple Sausage Stuffing
If I could eat as much as I wanted of anything I wanted without any health consequences, I’d stuff myself with stuffing. I’ve never had a sweet tooth; my weakness has always been bread. Bread in any form is kryptonite for me but serve it up cooked in butter and herbs and I’m completely powerless…
Super Skinny Mashed Potatoes
I have an unhealthy love for mashed potatoes. I always have. When I was in high school my dad gave me a cookbook completely dedicated to mashed potatoes and I lovingly read every recipe and tried several. My favorite was what the cookbook called “Mashed Potatoes Anna” which was your standard heavy cream and butter…
The Best Roasted Carrots
Perhaps the greatest thing that’s happened to me this month is that Trader Joe’s started selling rainbow carrots for $1 a pound. This beats the absurd amount of money I was forking over at my local specialty store just for cosmetic purposes. Unlike grapes, say, carrots taste the same regardless of color which means this…
Sweet Potato Ribbons with Sage Brown Butter
Fall is just around the corner and even though its in the 90s here in LA, I’m already thinking about butternut squash, pumpkin, pears, and sweet potatoes. This dish was inspired by our favorite go-to pasta in sage brown butter sauce. In fact, all I did was swap sweet potato ribbons for the pasta but…
Herb-Mustard Vegan Potato Salad
For the 4th of July I set out to make a traditional American potato salad that was egg-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, and oil-free. I was worried the price of all that freedom would be taste but the final product was at least as delicious as any potato salad this country has seen. I have to admit…
Arroz Verde: Green Rice
With just a few minutes of up-front effort you can have this fun rice dish simmering away while you’re cooking up the main meal (salmon tacos or white wine tilapia, perhaps?) Depending on the salsa you use, this may have only a whisper of heat so, if you’re feeling feisty, add a roasted or raw poblano, jalapeno,…
