Squash is not one of Hubby’s favorites, so everytime I break out a new squash recipe, he cringes. Incidentally, some of his favorite recipes to date have included squash. Go figure. This one included Kabocha (I have also seen it as Kabucha) squash, just like the tempeh squash bake. Again, the draw is supposed to [...]
More apologies for the dark picture. I had to take it inside at night because it was *that* kind of day. The kind where we weren’t eating dinner until about 7:30 because the day had been that kind of crazy. This is another one I didn’t trust to be good. Or edible. Tempeh isn’t my super [...]
Growing up, New Year’s Eve was always marked with a big pot of black eyed peas. Most of my family said they loved it, but we never had it any other time of the year, so I’m not sure I buy that. As a pastor’s family, most of the time we were at a big [...]
Having steadily worked through this cookbook for well over a year now – maybe even two? – I am finding that what is left is either a) a dessert that I keep waiting to try for “something special” or b) something weird sounding that I’ve never had before and am too wussy to try. Guess [...]
Add another one to my “Fast Food Prevention” list. If I’m going to have an excuse to grab something while we’re out, it has to start with not having something to grab at home. Typically, I have a good 30 minutes to make dinner. Unfortunately, that’s not enough to thaw something I left in the [...]
In our gluten-free venture, the brown rice crust on this quiche was pretty appealing. Also appealing was using up eggs and cheese before the diet got strict.Verdict: Dried-on rice + eggs = a pain in the butt to clean off of a pan. Scrape it when it’s fresh, folks. Also of note…if your pan is [...]
Man, I feel like we’ve been sick for the past two months (Yeah, MoxiBean is two months old already!). Mini-cold right after she was born, a few weeks of a break, then we all got hit hard and were down for a few weeks. Not lay-in-bed-moaning sick…more like can’t-get-out-of-obligations-but-we’re-miserable sick. I’ve squirted so much milk [...]
Pie crust scares me. There is a whole section of desserts that are the stuff of cravings and a good end to a bad day. Unfortunately, I’m a wuss and haven’t tried one of the pies yet. I got locked into it last night, though, when I assumed Quiche would be a quick and easy [...]
This may be a super fast post, ‘cos I still don’t have a good office chair and my bum is telling me to type like the wind! That said, I haven’t had to cook much for the last couple of weeks thanks to some awesome friends and a fantastic Hubby. One meal that came just [...]
I’m always a bit leery of recipes suggested for postpartum that involve, well, work. And…standing. After “nine” (ten) months of growing a person, then birthing said person, then growing that same person with milk that you make, I think a week or two of well-deserved rest is in order, and that is a minimum. The [...]
