Meatless Monday Five!

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 [...]

    Meatless Monday Four!

    Indian Daal, Naan, Fried Rice… HOMERUN!

    Well, I finally did it. I spent some TIME and I PLANNED a Meatless Monday meal. And now I know why I didn’t do that before:

    I blew the whole morning looking at recipes. The whole morning. Part of that might be [...]

            Come along on the ride, or join the movement with us*

            *The Menke family is embarking on their 2nd annual New Year’s resolution lead fearlessly by the mother ship.

            (I can’t say they are any happier about this resolution than they were about the last.)

            See, I am a woman of the obtainable resolution. I am [...]
