Dishes that Move with the Seasons


By Southwestern Ontario Foodie (Visit website)



There are so many dishes that I make year round no matter what the season is; whether it be soup, quiche, shepards pie, or spaghetti with meat sauce. But, no matter how many times I make it, it's different every time. They're definitely dishes that change with the seasons.

Quiche for instance is good in the Spring with fresh asparagus, but is also good with broccoli during the Summer. The same can be said for shepards pie. During the Fall and Winter season I may use carrots as my vegetable, but during the Summer I may use peas or corn. Over the Winter I may use cabbage in my soups or green beans and zucchini during the other months. Recipes like these are so versatile and can be changed to suit any season or personal preference.

Earlier this week I made a shepards pie with ground turkey as the base and carrots and corn as my vegetable (the corn was frozen over the Summer). I used some left-over sweet potato soup as my liquid for the meat/vegetable mixture with a few spoonfuls of tomato sauce added in as well. I topped it all off with some mashed potatoes (skin on, of course) seasoned with chives and my new sea salt/garlic/chives mixture from Epicure.
Tonight I made some plain old spaghetti and meat sauce. I used some yummy lean ground beef and garlic that I got from Adelaide Farms and mixed in an onion, chopped greenhouse orange and red peppers with tomato sauce and seasoned it with cayenne pepper and chili powder.

That's what's great about these meals; you can put just about everything in them besides the kitchen sink and it'll still taste good. And, the base for these meals are items that can be purchased locally all year round; like eggs, ground beef/turkey, potatoes, mushrooms, onions, etc..

Are there any meals that you make that change with the seasons?
