 Namaste. Indian again? That’s what he said. He being Charlie, who contends that he doesn’t know where I got the idea he loves Indian food. Truth is, I think if I keep telling him that he loves it, he’ll actually start believing me. Which would be convenient, since the rest of us are deeply, madly in love with it. Here’s [...] 
I made this “Make-Up” Meatless Monday last week with the kids while Dave was out of town. Somewhere along the way, I got a week behind. This one brought me back on track. It is Sunday night as I write this. We had THREE meatless mondays this week: Monday, Wednesday and tonight, since I will be [...] 
Linguine with Tomatoes & Shrimp (for lack of a better name) Disclaimer: Recipe adapted from Pioneer Woman’s Penne Pasta a la Betsy. Why didn’t I just make it easy on myself and duplicate Pioneer Woman’s no-doubt delicious recipe? Well, for one — and you should know this by now — I didn’t have at least one main ingredient [...] 
That would be unlucky #13. [I dedicate this deliberately ugly photo to my brother who called me last week and suggested to me that I stop photographing my Meatless Monday meals. While he may be right, I consider that at least half of the fun.] Believe it or not, it tasted delicious. But… It looked like [...]  Indian? Again? Yes. Indian again. Stop your complaining. (And try not to be too put off by that disgusting picture. Honestly, I tried to make it look good, but I lack the skill necessary to do so.) I’ve waited several weeks to make Indian again so as not too dilute the yearning. We love it so much! Always [...] 
Make that Meatless THURSDAY, instead. Yes, it’s been a harrowing week. I’m sick (again) and life is spinning out of control. It doesn’t help that I’m not taking it seriously. Seriously. Because all I really want to do is get up from my computer and go read a book. Or go work outside. Or go for a walk. Or eat. And eat. It doesn’t [...]  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 her [...] 
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 kitchen [...]  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 agonize [...]  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 [...] |
