It’s the last day of January, which means winter is almost over, there’s a break from school on the horizon, and I’m already a good 2 weeks behind on my organizational calendar. Today was unseasonably warm (apparently it got up around 50 degrees!), so Brian and I went for a walk. It felt like spring, [...]
It’s no secret that soup is one of my favorite foods to cook and to eat. Soup is one of the few things I look forward to during this time of year (other things: wearing sweaters, drinking more tea and the holiday season). Soup makes an appearance on our table at least once a week [...]
In September, I discovered the Whole Grain Council’s “grain of the month” calendar and have been trying out a new grain each month since then, just because I needed to add another goal to my life. December’s Grain of the Month was buckwheat, a grain which I have very little experience with. I checked out [...]
After my weekend realization that fall is here and the onset of a head cold that makes me want to stay in bed all day, there was only one thing I could do: make soup. Luckily I picked up some excellent soup ingredients at the farm last week. I decided to use our CSA leek, [...]
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 [...]
I’ve loved New England clam chowder for as long as I can remember. When I was in elementary school in New Jersey, my school cafeteria had chowder once a week, alternating between New England and Manhattan varieties. I only bought it on the New England weeks. In case you missed my accent vlog, I’m [...]
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 [...]
Last week I came upon this recipe for this potato and kale frittata. I love making frittatas (is that the correct plural?) and since we had a bunch of potatoes from the farmer’s market that needed to be used, it was a perfect dinner. But the problem with buying kale is that then you have [...]
I know it’s officially spring, but I’m continuing to make soup until it’s too hot to eat it. Plus it’s been disgustingly cold and rainy all week, which is definitely soup weather. Sunday night’s creation was an incredibly simple Tuscan White Bean Soup, the recipe for which was featured in The Atlantic about a month [...]
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. [...]
