It seems like a while since I’ve posted a Meatless Monday recipe. Between my Grandpa’s passing, the election, health issues, and our vacation…I haven’t really been doing a lot of cooking lately! Most of my dinners have been anything I can put in the oven, forget about for 20 minutes, then chow down on. Usually … Continue reading
So we finally got fall weather last week. And it was finally appropriate to make a pot of soup. Of course, that fall weather went away just in time to do a bit of pre-Halloween celebrating this weekend…it was in the high 70’s, so I didn’t have to worry about being too chilly in my … Continue reading
My original plan for this month was to show you all how to roast & puree a pumpkin, and then share a bunch of pumpkin recipes. After pumpkin bread on Friday and pumpkin curry today…I’m totally going backwards. Since I didn’t exactly think a Weekend in Photos post was appropriate (my weekend consisted of only … Continue reading
It’s October. So here’s the deal. I know everyone’s ready for pumpkin, apple cider, hot cocoa, and the like. But I’m not. And neither is Mother Nature, apparently: Yeah. HIGH NEAR 100F today. Greetings, October! may we interest you in a sauna? I wore boots to work on Friday in protest of the heat. Contrary … Continue reading
Adrianna made me realize something in the most recent post on her blog (which is one of my faves BTW). I am a snacker. Since they often need to be planned ahead of time, I’m usually pretty regimented in my breakfasts (yogurt or oatmeal) and lunches (tostadas if I have time to go home, soup … Continue reading
Living in an urban area with no car, you’d think I wouldn’t know how to make myself a good meal very often. That’s the whole point of city livin’ when you’re young, right? Carrie Bradshaw never cooked. Her dinner always consisted making reservations at a swanky restaurant for a romantic dimly lit dinner date at … Continue reading
It all started at the farmers market on Thursday. I saw eggplant, and an idea popped into my head. French cooking had been on my mind, as I had recently read the Julia Child article I shared on Friday and am hoping to convince T-Man to take a French vacation with me when his campaign … Continue reading
So, remember when the Wicked Witch of the West said she was melting? I’m starting to see what she meant. Except it’s misleading to say that you feel like you’re melting when it’s hot. Because I actually feel more like Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis in Beetlejuice, where they dry out and turn into skeletons … Continue reading
My college had amazing dining halls. Each one had 4-5 different stations with varied entrees, a complete salad bar, and one dining hall even had a taco/tostada bar. Oh and unlimited fro-yo or ice cream, depending on which dining hall you chose. There may have been fruit too. But I (along with the Freshman 15 … Continue reading
In college, Meatless Monday was a product of the hippies on campus who set up shop along the bike path with their wooden painted signs, or in the plaza with their info booth, or in the dining commons, with their…. Well, you get the picture. They were everywhere. Whether you agree with the method of … Continue reading
