 All from The Steamy Kitchen Cookbook! ! Disclaimer: This Meatless Monday features fish, because, by golly, to me, fish is meatless. (Sorry vegans!) Plus, we’ve got a lot of fish to eat in the freezer. Plus, plus, Morgan was gone and she moans and groans about fish, so I took advantage of [...] 
I wasn’t going to post this, but I have the pictures — well, I have pictures of the remnants — and the kids won’t stop talking about them. Begging for more. Stalking my life. Ruining my days. Why don’t I just make the damn things for them again? Because I hate deep frying. HATE IT. It stinks the [...]  Lentil Meatballs with Tomato Cream Sauce I forgot to take the final picture again. Should I have it for lunch so that I can rectify this recurring nightmare? (pause for 30 minutes.) Yes. I really did go heat up, photograph and eat the leftovers for lunch. It was good. And now I have a picture. Win-win. I continue to [...]  Lowly Potato Soup. I could almost call this Stone Soup. It’s practically the same thing. Wait, no. That sounds bad. This really is good soup. It’s seems to make a lot of something out of practically nothing. So, in that way it is like stone soup. It is a very old family recipe. Actually, like most things I say, [...] 
I don’t know what to say. She wanted “Fuddruckers” and “French Silk.” Leave it to me to turn that into a personal challenge. Cuz Lord knows most people would simply get in the car with their wallets and go. (Before you start berating me for being lazy, crazy, martyr, glutton, etc., you need to know that we had [...] 
And Valentine’s Day wrapped up in one. Dave gave me two cookbooks for Valentine’s Day. One was an Indian cookbook and the other was a vegetarian cookbook. Which proves that even though he is pissing and moaning about Meatless Mondays, he is – in fact – encouraging me to continue. I was very excited. I made an [...] 
Approximately three times a week, at about 6pm, I can be heard asking anyone standing within earshot, “Should we have Green Curry tonight?” So sick have my family become of this question, that now treat it as rhetorical. Tonight I had Green Curry. It should be noted that the vocal portion of the family were gone. That left [...] 
In the direct opposition to Meatless Mondays, we had a Meatfull Sunday. Albeit was the Superbowl. And we do have a loose tradition of eating chili for the Superbowl. So it’s not like I was snubbing my nose at going meatless. It just seemed funny to me that while I was thinking ahead to the [...]  Basil “Ricotta” Ravioli with Sage, Walnuts and Browned Butter As usual, a few disclaimers. 1) yet another scramble at the last minute* 2) very few photos of process 3) very tough day** * It wasn’t supposed to be a mad scramble. I had the butternut squash in the oven by 3pm to use as filling for the ravioli. However I [...]  My Favorite Potluck Meal Yes. You heard me right: Potluck. Growing up, I was a picky eater. Thankfully, my kids are not picky, aside from their deep (and recently conquered) fear of Sloppy Joes. However, if you have a picky eater, you will know what a traumatic event the evil potluck dinner can be. You know who you [...] |
