Saturday Savory: Roasted Beet and Broccoli Slaw

Continuing in my study of the Alton Brown cooking guide, I entered the section of roasting. Thus, today's recipe is a roasting recipe, which means some time is required to make it.
Sorry about the flash; it was hard to get a good pic.

This recipe requires time of maybe two hours the first day, then sits overnight to be eaten the next day. Here are the ingredients required for the slaw:


  • 2 large beets (he suggested yellow, as the red beets stain everything red.)
  • 2 broccoli stems
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 1/2 cup onion, sliced thinly (we used a mandolin)
The ingredients we used. Click the image to enlarge.
Now, here are the steps. First, make sure to start the oven preheating to 425ºF.

In the steps, he said to "roast for about 1 1/2 hours, or until they are tender but still firm when pierced with a paring knife."

Place the shredded beets and broccoli in a large bowl. Add the onion. In a separate bowl:

     Now add the vinaigrette to the beets, broccoli, and onion bowl. Stir until well coated. Let that sit overnight, and the next day you will have slaw!
     We thought the vinaigrette was a little mild in flavor; all we could really taste in this recipe was a slight nutty flavor. To remedy this, I would suggest making a larger amount of the vinaigrette, or, what we did was add in some salad dressing to our individual bowls of slaw. I hope you like this recipe. If you have ever had a beet or broccoli slaw, share the experience with me!

P.S. We ate the broccoli florets the next day with some Ranch sauce. Yum!

Monday Meatloaf

So, on Saturday I gave you a simple baked potato recipe that goes great with a lot of dishes. One recipe that we tried it with was Alton's meatloaf recipe. Click the image to enlarge. There are so many types of meatloaf recipes out there, handed down from generations, that there is no "right way" to make a meatloaf. This is the recipe Alton Brown gave in his cooking guide in the roasting section. Here are the ingredients you will need:

Saturday Sweetly

Every Saturday there is the task of cooking the yummies for the weekend. Sometimes it will be a savory meal, like pasta salad, and sometimes it will be the sweets, like cheesecake or pies. However, every week I try to find time to help Mom cook in the kitchen, at least for an hour or so. I helped her today with the sweets for the weekend, and every Saturday I help I will share the recipe(s) of the day. Today, we made a peach pie with a crumble topping, and some home made zucchini quick bread. We started with the pie, because it could cook while we prepared the bread. For the pie all you need is a pie shell and peach pie filling, and for the crumble topping all you need is one stick of butter (1/2 cup), a package of graham crackers, and 1/2 cup of sugar. You can either place the pie filling in the pie, then work on the crumble, or vice versa. Just make sure to preheat your oven to 425ºF. (We made the crumble first.) To make the crumble, you Read More...
