Swiss-Style Spaetzle with Caramelized Onions and Gruyere

Ferme Rêveuse doesn’t just produce incredible eggs, veal, chicken and beef, but they also make traditional European foods such as sauerkraut and their delicious spaetzle. Spaetzle is an egg based quick noodle made by straining a thin dough through the holes of a colander over boiling water. It’s relatively simple to make yourself but why not buy it made with pasture raised eggs?

European Style Corn Bread in the Air Fryer

European Style Corn Bread in the Air Fryer

I love making corn bread in the air fryer. You get a delicious crispy crust without needing to preheat a pan. This is a European style corn bread in that it’s less muffin-like and it is unsweetened. Don’t be fooled though, you’ll love this as a snack or with a stew. I grew up having this corn bread quite often. In Serbia, where I’m from, it’s called proja (pronounced pro-yah). I love it with cheese but traditionally it’s also filled sometimes with chopped smoked pork rinds or cooked spinach. It comes together in no time and with the air fryer, this corn bread is cooked in 20 minutes.

Do you have a vegetarian coming for your holiday meal? This delicious brown rice & sweet potato casserole is a really great sheet pan meal with a unique blend of spices that will satisfy any guest, veggie or not. Not only is it vegetarian but it’s gluten-free and vegan! The beans add extra protein and the flavours will make this a great side dish to any roast. It’s also great on its own warm or cold as an easy lunch. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do.

Instant Pot Quinoa Pilaf

Instant Pot Quinoa Pilaf

How do you cook quinoa in the Instant Pot? Well, it’s very easy. Not to mention cooking quinoa in the instant pot takes just 3 minutes under pressure! A pilaf is normally made with something like couscous or rice and can be mixed with dried fruit, meat, vegetables, depending on what part of the world you’re cooking from. My instant pot quinoa recipe is inspired by seasonal fall flavors and will be a perfect gluten-free holiday side. Quinoa pressure cooker recipes are a great dish to serve for vegetarians who may be joining you this holiday. Quinoa is a grain that’s also high in protein.
