Every Wednesday this semester we will be posting about a new blog or cooking website that we love! The internet is filled with food websites, and our goal is to arm you with the “Best of the Food Web”!

With the first Make a Difference Monday of the year this past Monday and our weekly CSA posts, terms like “local” and “sustainable” have been popping up like crazy on the blog. Today’s Best of the Food Web continues this theme of sustainability with the blog Sprouted Kitchen. Like the food it features, Sprouted Kitchen is a beautiful, clean-looking blog that will keep you searching through archives, bookmarking recipes as you go. The blog is focused on eating seasonally, so I recommend searching for past recipes based on the month. For example, one of September’s featured recipes is for baked yams. I don’t know if you’ve been to the grocery store or farmer’s market lately, but yams are all over the place! The best summary of the blog comes from the author’s own words in her About section: “My intention is to make food taste good by using healthy ingredients: whole grains, unsaturated fats, natural sugar alternatives and the like.” I’ve highlighted some recipes below that are packed with fall flavors (even though the weather refuses to act like fall is here).

• Baked Yams with Chili Beans
• Squash Boats with Quinoa — I LOVE this idea!
• Plum Tart with Mascarpone Cream
