Osso Buco with Creamy Polenta

So, I finally went ahead and made Osso Buco. Simplyrecipes.com was, as usual, a great resource for both the recipe for Osso Buco, as well as the Polenta.

Hmmmm, pancetta!

Brown the veal shanks

And then comes the rest

Everything back together plus the stock and off to the oven!

Yumm!

Served with Chianti, of course.

Corned Beef and Cabbage

It was that time of the year again, so I pulled out my one and only crockpot recipe book and went to town.

Tender and juicy.

You can never have to many "after" pictures…..

Moroccan Vegetable Tagine

I tried this meat-free dish out of The Whole Foods Allergy Cookbook. The ingredient list is a little intimidating, but really not that much and its a very nice and hearty dish for cold days.

Any good dish starts with sauteing onions….

Root vegeatbles include carrots, turnips and potatoes.

Safran!
