So, I had bookclub on Monday this week. Didn’t prepare ahead and have Meatless Monday on Sunday. Didn’t cook meatless for my family before I left. Didn’t do much of anything, really. Except have a rotten, horrible day. I can’t remember everything that happened, but Monday was bad, bad, bad.
I was late to [...]
Steamy Kitchen’s Shrimp Fried Rice
It’s another recipe from The Steamy Kitchen’s cookbook. But in the text, she credits Elise from SimplyRecipes.com for the recipe. It’s all so confusing! Either way, it was easy and delicious.
I got a new rice cooker for Mother’s Day. An expensive Neuro Fuzzy to replace my very old $25 [...]
Morel Mushroom and Asparagus Risotto
If you haven’t read the Morel post from yesterday, please do. It gives background information necessary for truly understanding the nature of this very special Meatless Monday meal.
No, I’m not talking about the asparagus, that I’m ready to plow under. I’m talking, of course, about the two-year wait for [...]
Perfect fast lunch for a Meatless Monday
Tastes better than fresh hollandaise, I swear.
Cook a few spears of fresh asparagus in water like I show you in my first asparagus post.
Gently fry (not like me with my huge freaking bubbles in the whites) one or two fresh eggs
(rub the feathers [...]
Shrimp Pad Thai
I’m over-the-moon about this recipe.
[Now, if by chance, there were anyone under the age of 40 reading this post, I will have lost them with that first sentence. What kind of loser says "over the moon?"]
But I am. Over the moon.
I am giving all the credit to the [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
