I think I may have found my new favorite food.

This recipe was in Yankee magazine a few summers ago, and can easily be made on the grill or (as we did) in the oven. The smell of roasting bell peppers and fresh basil are enough to make you forget that, yes, it is still February, and yes, there is still snow on the ground.

And the taste. Did I mention the taste? Let’s just say that my sister, who is not traditionally a lover of vegetable-based dishes, was eagerly piling on the peppers and asking for more.

J’ADORE.

Another dish that has gotten our non-vegetable lover to ask for seconds: Cabbage-Vegetable Soup. All of the flavors in the soup come from the vegetables themselves and it is so, so yummy. I made it on Wednesday night and we ate it so quickly that I forgot to take a photo. Served with a warm loaf of bread it is the perfect comfort food: healthy and hearty.
