Blue Cheese and Caramelized Onion and Mushroom Galette

I haven’t the slightest idea of what to talk about today.  I mean, Mardi Gras is happening so we could chat about baking tiny babies into cakes or about eating our weight in jelly donuts that are then rolled in sweet glorious sugar and consumed in such high quantities on Fat Tuesday that it makesContinue reading “Blue Cheese and Caramelized Onion and Mushroom Galette”

The End of Summer Vegetable Frittata

You guys!  I am moving. In the brick and mortar sense.  With boxes and packing tape.  Newspaper and bubble wrap.   Black sharpie markers and newspaper.  There are boxes stacking up in the front room and I am in the ‘ it gets worse before it gets better’ stage.  Stan is just playing in theContinue reading “The End of Summer Vegetable Frittata”

Pizza Strata

Or personal pan pizza strata. Or pepperoni, mushroom, and caramelized onion strata with roasted tomatoes and extra cheese.  A bit wordy, no? I read a gazillion books in third grade to earn a personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut.  Hundreds of pages for a 4 inch pizza made just for me that was delivered toContinue reading “Pizza Strata”

Caprese Salad Grilled Cheese

I have this bad habit of adding too much garlic to the pesto.  It ends up being this process that much resembles when one (me) cuts her own bangs.  Too much trimmed from the left side (too much garlic) causes a bit more to be taken (more basil, walnuts, cheese, and olive oil added) offContinue reading “Caprese Salad Grilled Cheese”

Green Beans, Ham, and Potatoes

And we are Monday-ing again.  Weren’t we just Friday-ing it up like freaking rockstars?  Drinking Oktoberfests and gobbling hamburgers dripping with fried egg and golden yolks and dipping greasy salted fries in tangy ketchup and pretending that salads loaded with blue cheese and drenched in ranch dressing counts as a healthy vegetable side.  Can we FridayContinue reading “Green Beans, Ham, and Potatoes”

Could you host a dinner party at a moments notice?  Summer tends to be a time of year where dinners are thrown together and off the cuff and full of friends and good conversation and flights of crisp cool wine and refreshing cocktails. The trick to feeding a whole host of people on a whim isContinue reading “Lemon Parmesan Risotto with Grilled Pesto Shrimp and a GIVEAWAY!!”

butternut squash soup with parmesan cheese crisps

My counter is full of squash.  Acorn.  Butternut.  Spaghetti.  All rolling around and teeter-tottering about like vegetable weeble wobbles. Squash was not meant to lay about on a countertop.  I  fear that they will eventually end up cracked and splattered on the floor before I find the time and energy to create a dish thatContinue reading “butternut squash soup with parmesan cheese crisps”
