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 [...]
All from The Steamy Kitchen Cookbook!
! !! (exclamations are overused, don’t you think?)
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, [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
Meatless Monday Eight Prequel.
I’m home alone.
I’m making dinner for tonight’s Meatless Monday.
No, no. I haven’t turned over a new leaf. I have bookclub tonight and a busy afternoon of kid stuff. So I’m being proactive.
So yeah, maybe I am turning over a new leaf. But just for today.
I’m making [...]
And Valentine’s Day wrapped up in one.
Dave gave me two cookbooks for Valentine’s Day. One was an Indian cookbook and the other was a vegetarian cookbook. Which proves that even though he is pissing and moaning about Meatless Mondays, he is – in fact – encouraging me to continue.
I was very excited. [...]
(Sorry Guys, No Exclamation Mark for this One.)
Meatless Monday Six was non-blogworthy. We had baked potatoes and broccoli.
Yep. That’s it.
That’s what we had.
I even had a plan for it. Knew what I was gonna make. Tweeted about it.
I’ll be honest: I might not have allotted enough time to make [...]
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 [...]
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:
It takes a lot of time.
I blew the whole morning looking at recipes. The whole morning. Part of that might be [...]
