It has been incredibly cold here this week. I am talking below-zero temperatures, here. Definitely the kind of weather that requires comfort food of some sort. Like mac and cheese! Rich and creamy, hearty cheesy goodness. Perfect for bitter and blustery days. Except there’s one problem. I just couldn’t bring myself to make macaroni and […]
You guys, I just can’t seem to get enough of brussels sprouts this season! I keep finding new, awesome recipes to try! My husband, barely tolerant of brussels sprouts most of the time, has really been a champ throughout my quest for more and more and more and more ways to eat these babies. This […]
At the beginning of this year, I decided I was going to read a new book every week. Even though I had an infant. That totally went according to plan… But one of the fun side effects of this plan was becoming acquainted with a few new (to me) food blogs, as several of the […]
You guys! Can you believe Thanksgiving is only a week away? And I’ve been whiling away the last week with meals I’ve thrown together from random things in the fridge, rather than setting out purposefully to share some delicious Thanksgiving ideas with you. Oops. Sorry! So. I have a question. What is the one side […]
Sometimes I get silly ideas. Like…let’s take this extra bag of kale greens I bought and turn it into soufflé. Easy peasy. I had never actually made soufflé before. Like any sensible person, I had a deep and abiding fear of soufflé. But then I figured that savory soufflé would be easier than the dreaded […]
Kale is beautiful. I bought some kale a few weeks ago at the farmer’s market so I could make a kale salad. I was so excited! Sarah came over and she got excited, too! But the recipe I had was a little weirdly written…and to make a long story short, there was too much dressing. […]
CSA Week 17: Winging It
Sometimes I look in my fridge and think, “Why is there nothing to eat!?” As I am staring at the shelves piled high with perfectly good food, nothing seems like it would come together quickly, and none of my produce and dairy products and leftovers seem even remotely able to work together. Does that ever […]
CSA Week 17: Miso-Curry Delicata Squash
We have been getting a lot of fall squashes from the CSA! At least two per week, usually weighing in over 1 lb. apiece. Good thing I love fall squash! It’s also been fun to get to know some of the different varieties. Normally, I am a butternut-acorn-pumpkin girl, but now I am learning about […]
CSA Week 2: Vegetable Potstickers with Sweet Chili Soy Sauce
A few weeks ago, I stumbled across a recipe for spring veggie potstickers that immediately peaked my interest. So last week when I opened up my CSA box and found a bounty of late-spring produce, I immediately figured out how to adapt the recipe to the veggies in my box. What I received for week […]
In our house, this noodle dish represents the best of all worlds. I like it because it is full of whole grains and vegetables. Dave likes it because it’s tossed in an Asian style sauce. I can’t believe I haven’t posted about this sooner! This meal is a snap to put together. In about the […]
