ARF/5-A-Day #95

November 7, 2007 · ARF/5-A-Day

Another week, another ARF/5-A-Day roundup. Can you believe we’re quickly approaching the 100th week?! Time really does fly. OK, let’s get started with tonight’s bounty of fruit and veggie goodness.

Claire from Cooking is Medicine gets matrimonial by marrying unlikely pairs together with her Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Apples:

The Chocolate Lady brings hemp seeds to our roundup with her Hemp Seed Tabouli. I do believe this is the first time hemp seed has made an appearance here.

Newcomer Slightly Cheaper Than Therapy serves up an interesting twist on Quesadillas with her Mexican version:

More Bread and Cheese, Please celebrates Halloween the adult way (sniff, sniff) with her Sweet Potato and Pumpkin Pilaf:

Sarah from Cucina Bella gets the Kid Seal of Approval for her Garlic Tomato Spaghetti Squash:

Sara from Cupcake Muffin not only breaks in a new cookbook, but a new food processor too, with her Farfalle with Arugula Gremolata:

Sarah from What Smells So Good celebrates Halloween with her True Halloween Candy:

Sara from I Like to Cook finishes us off this week featuring the almighty potato in her Spanish Frittata:

As for me? I kept it simple and went with a tried-and-true, Garlic-Crumbed Tomatoes. I don’t make these often enough, but do love them.

A year ago today… more food shows for your viewing pleasure.
Two years ago today… Cuban cooking at The Sister-in-Law’s.

    I always look forward to these roundups so much. The first thing I will look at this week is the true Halloween candy. Wonder what that might be!
    Thanks again for your efforts!
