Upcoming Classes and Roasted Carrots

Post Date: 20 January 2016


Cooking Basics 101 at Herndon High School Continues

The second session of this class meets this Thursday evening at 6:30.  This week we will be making a Waldorf Salad Wrap, a slightly different (and healthier) take on the traditional Waldorf salad; a baked Tilapia Italiana with Sautéed Broccoli; and a no bake Marscapone Strawberry Dessert.  We will be discussing how long to keep spices and the various types of salt.

Last week with knife skills we practiced chopping and a chiffonade.  This week we will be doing mincing and a rough chop.  We will also be hulling strawberries using a technique we did with tomatoes last week.

Roasted Carrots with Thyme and Lemon


There are a lot of thing to like about this recipe.  It is easy to make, it tastes great, and the kitchen smells wonderful while it is in the oven.  I found it in the January/February 2016 issue of Food Network Magazine and made it yesterday.  Simply peel and trim the carrots and brush with olive oil, add sliced lemon, sprigs of fresh thyme, a teaspoon of dried thyme leaves, and some salt and pepper, then roast at 425 for 25-30 minutes.  Here is the link:
