Met a friend today for lunch at an old Favorite, Cafe Brenda. I have never been disappointed in their food, which is maybe why I often look for excuses to go back there. Today I ordered one of their specials, a Winter Vegetable PIe, Served with a salad with roasted beets, apples and a balsamic dressing. I should have taken a photo of the plate when I was done because it was totally empty. Not a grain of rice. Okay – maybe one or two. But it was so good. I believe it contained leeks, parsnips, squash and obviously some other good stuff. The crust was light and delicious without being rich. The rice was a nice addition to the savory filling.
This is one of those dishes that will haunt me. I wonder if I could get the recipe or try to find something that could come close. Any ideas, faithful readers?


That sounds DELICIOUS!
No idea, but it sounds yummy.
Ooooo, I’d ask cafe brenda if they’d share the recipe. Then you can make it for me!
