In preparing my Creamy Rutabaga and Potato Soup, I decided some sort of biscuit would be nice as a side. I generally have 2 problems when making last minute biscuits: having all the ingredients and the state of the butter. Luckily, I had all but one of the ingredients for this recipe and it uses [...]
I spent a bit of time in the kitchen this weekend in celebration of being caught up with my life. In hopes of using some of last week’s CSA veggies, I dug up a recipe for Cream of Turnip soup in Evernote. Of course, when it came time to cook dinner, I realized that I [...]
Last Sunday I was able to cross goal #6 “Open our home at least once a month” off my list for January. A couple friends from work came over and we had a really great time. I made broccoli and three-cheese lasagna from Real Simple using this tomato sauce, both of which are amazing. I [...]
I made this soup last spring, but wanted to see if I could improve it. The new soup is even creamier, heartier and more delicious than the original. It’s also awesome because it only used ingredients that I already had in my pantry. We really enjoyed it (the snow we got yesterday meant it was [...]
Risotto and I have not been friends. Last time I had it, I didn’t like it, which is weird because I eat pretty much anything. However, with the arrival of fall, I began thinking that I might be ready to try risotto again. I’ve got a bunch of recipes, but I wasn’t really sure [...]
Several articles I’ve read about being a “good blogger” suggest that bloggers shouldn’t apologize for not posting, because it draws attention to the fact that they haven’t posted when, actually, no one had noticed in the first place. But its been 17 days since I’ve written a “real” post, and even that was just Highlights, [...]
Two weeks ago, I made meatloaf and Brian and I spent pretty much all week eating it (it didn’t occur to me until we’d finished it that I could’ve frozen some). Last week we were on vacation and so I didn’t cook. I felt like I hadn’t been in the kitchen in forever. And I [...]
I’m a big fan of the idea of veggie burgers, but the price and taste of the ones at the supermarket, not so much. As a result, I’ve been keeping an eye out for veggie burger recipes that I could make myself. I tried a recipe from A Food Coma a few months back, but [...]
I made my first quiche the other night. Granted, a quiche without crust, which Brian was a bit skepitical of (can you have a quiche without crust?) It made a perfect make-ahead meal for 2 of our dinners this week. Despite the fact that, for some reason, the idea of making quiche seemed a little [...]
So…work is still kicking my butt. I started a new (full time, rest of the year!) teaching job last Monday and I had this fantasy that I was going to have more time for me (aka this blog, the gym, cooking cool recipes, hanging out with Brian, etc) than I did with my last position. [...]
