Miso Rosemary Mashed Potatoes
Like all tried and true recipes, they become stagnant and in need of a refresh from time to time. Mashed potatoes are an integral part of so many meals- proving comfort and a smooth, starchy complement to main dishes near and far. This recipe uses the (sweeter) Murasaki sweet potato, along with umami-rich miso and the nutty flavors of tahini and browned butter. Add the freshness of rosemary and you’ve got a side that can be the main dish on its own.
Blackened Delicata Squash
What’s better than a roasted squash than a roasted, then blackened one? Blackening the squash via cast iron creates a beautiful crust and char that complements the sweet and spiced pomegranate relish that is sprinkled on top.
This dish is perfect as any side dish for your next gathering, pushing guests to grab a slice with their fingers- which they will inevitably lick to get ALL of that remaining flavor. Enjoy!
Arroz con Gandules
Arroz con gandules, the national dish of Puerto Rico, is one of comfort, memories, and the sense of home.

This dish will have you walking up to the stove for second, third, and even fourth servings.
Crispy Brussels with Hot Miso-Honey Glaze

This recipe requires you to sear your Brussels before roasting for the most perfect crispy sprout. But, the highlight of this dish is the sweet and umami glaze drizzled on top that will have you licking your fingers all night.
