Lately…. I spent/wasted more time trying to find black jeans. This I believe is an impossible dream as EVERYTHING is now skinny, straight, slim, or God forbid super-skinny or ultra skinny – which begs me to wonder what evil bastard thought this grand scheme up? Not only can I not get my calf into knee-highContinue reading “Roasted Butternut Squash with Cilantro Lime Dressing”

Skillet Mexican Street Corn
I remember it being late summer. The kitchen cool ( it was always cool with a slight breeze coming through the south facing window) and dimly light as the forest of trees in the front lawn kept the house in a forever shade. The light or the lack thereof is what I always remember aboutContinue reading “Skillet Mexican Street Corn”
Zucchini Bread
Zucchini Bread…. It is a basic. A summer staple. Late summer. That time period that we are inching closer and closer to with the dawn of August upon us. Zucchini will be overwhelming our gardens and CSA bags for weeks to come. We will be gifting zucchini in the coming weeks to neighbors, coworkers, strangersContinue reading “Zucchini Bread”
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”
Asparagus and Gruyere Tart
I am a new mother. But not of a human. Had ya going for a second, right? And not of any other mammal or amphibian or crustacean … But of herbs. Oregano, rosemary, basil, and mint. They are just sprouting through … those tiny seeds that were no bigger than a grain of sand areContinue reading “Asparagus and Gruyere Tart”
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”
Tomato Corn Chowder
I am a chowder girl. All the way. OR chowda…if we are to be saying it correctly. Which I think we should be, even if we are in Ohio and a good days drive from any New England accent…which is sad, because I could listen to them talk for days. And driving 8+ hours toContinue reading “Tomato Corn Chowder”
Broccoli Salad
My week days consist of me telling people they can’t eat broccoli. Or brussel sprouts or kale or god-forbid any greens – including but not limited to turnip and collards. And do not even think about spinach. But I feel really bad about the broccoli. I blame the drug they’re on…it is the main reason. Continue reading “Broccoli Salad”
Asparagus and Shrimp Stir Fry w/ Farro
Morning shows are not generally my thing…unless we are talking Sportscenter – then I am totally game. As a female, I feel the need to explain this habit. You see, I grew up with brothers…therefore, mornings were comprised of Frosted Flakes and SportsCenter and after 18+ years of this ‘torture’, don’t ya know I foundContinue reading “Asparagus and Shrimp Stir Fry w/ Farro”
