So the delay here isn’t the fact that I hadn’t started my holiday baking. The delay is that I can’t seem to find time to write about about it. Indeed.
Indeed?
Indeed.
No excuses. Just the facts.
We are currently snowed in. Blizzard in Minnesota. I finished the panda hat for Morgan.
The panda [...]
Disasterpiece Theater. Come along for the ride.
It started out innocently enough:
I found a recipe in an old cookbook of mine called “Simply Tuscan” for Butternut Squash Soup (I know, I know. I said I would not succumb to the temptation of making butternut soup ever again. But this was was different. I [...]
Mmmmm. I know I tend to go on and on about Kale. But seriously? It’s that good.
Everyone just assumes it tastes like spinach. But it really doesn’t. Lacking a good comparison, however, that’s what most people say. Including me, I’ll admit. Because there isn’t a good comparison.
It tastes like Kale. Nutty, earthy, [...]
Fall Barley Risotto
Mmmm. I did it! I finally made a winner. Here’s the thing. In busy times, I tend to do some version of the following for dinner:
around 3:30pm when the kids get home, and having lost all track of time, I get up from my computer and look in the freezer [...]
Coconut Green Curry with Snap Peas (and Shrimp)
My original intent had been to lump this recipe with Meatless Monday 40 and compress the agony into one post.*
“But that’s not how I roll.”
I just hate that saying. So I just had to say it.
I’m going to sit here and write this [...]
Normally this stuff just flows from my fingers without pause. But it is confirmed. I officially dread writing about Meatless Mondays.
This post has been half-finished for over a week now. And I won’t let myself post anything new until I get it done. The agony… of bad pictures and uninspired writing.
But you [...]
…Or Not.
Remember my nail biting back in late June about whether or not I’d get pumpkins grown in time this year due to my late planting date of June 28th?
Well, thanks –I think– to the hot summer and an unusually late first frost, I did!
I had a few surprises though. [...]
A quick break from Road Warriors to bring you this timely post:
The Best Banana Bread, otherwise known to me this week as: Hot and Humid Banana Bread.
Because if you are anywhere like Minnesota this August, you, too, have bananas rotting on your countertop.
I am going to share my favorite banana [...]
I wonder myself sometimes.
I bought this formerly lovely broccoli — I don’t know — a week ago? Two? Actually, now that I think about it, Michelle Sandquist bought the broccoli for me when her family came over for dinner last weekend.
Oh dear. I just looked at the calendar and realized it wasn’t [...]
Refreshing and Filling, No-Cook Summer Salad
I’m totally guessing what number Meatless Monday I am on. I haven’t written in over a week, soccer camp starts in an hour, I only have 32% battery left on my laptop and TIME’S-A-WASTING! I’ve got to get the MEAT of the post before I turn into a [...]
