The Cure for What Ails Me

The cure for what ails me

Let’s call this a Meatless Monday lunch on a Wednesday, shall we?

I’m battling a bug. First it was a cold. Now it’s aches and a bad stomach. I’ve got a luscious container of leftover pot roast in the fridge, but looking at it somehow makes me feel even more ill.

How can that [...]

    The Kids Cook Mondays!

    OK, so at the risk of becoming a cliché, I take on another Monday Campaign as an entire-family “New Year’s Resolution.” However, this year, I resolve to not be psychotic in my resolve.

    Does that make sense?

    I loved Meatless Mondays. And — for the most part — I’d say it was a success. [...]

      no wonder my Le Cruset pans look like sh*t

      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 [...]

        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 curry with shrimp

          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 [...]

            Meatless Monday 40

            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 [...]

              Meatless Monday Catch-Up

              Meatless Mondays 28 – 38.

              I know you all just think I fell off the Meatless Monday wagon. That I am too ashamed to even admit it.

              But you are wrong.

              We’re still doing Meatless Monday. I just haven’t been writing about it. There are several reasons why:

              They have been lame. They have been [...]

                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 [...]

                  I’m not deluding myself to think this is anything special or original. I’ve just promised to chronicle the journey and here we are, two weeks behind the calendar year (I should be on Meatless Monday Twenty Five. Twenty Six if you are counting tonight.)

                  We’ve eaten those meals, mind you. [...]

                    I’m too lazy to go look what number it is.

                    I just replied to about a months worth of comments. I’ve been so buried here in soccer land I can’t even tell you. But here’s the great thing: it’s almost over! Yes, I do feel a little bad about saying that, but never-the-less, I [...]
