Reuben’s are Hubby’s territory. He would frequently get them at sandwich shops. But honestly? The meat looked repulsive. That is that pinkish reddish…stuff, right? Corned beef? I think I have found the one part of my very Irish heritage that didn’t stick. Gross. With that said, I’m not sure I’ve ever actually eaten one. I [...]
Wow, I tend to over-complicate things. I’ve never felt particularly “good” at pasta dishes. It seems like they are always elaborate with names that I can barely pronounce, let alone define. Plus, they usually have parmesan or ricotta. Yuck. Yeah, yeah, I know. I still eat like a little kid sometimes. I’ve actually made this [...]
Yeah, that’s totally a paper plate you’re looking at. When lunch is for dinner, it’s usually for a good reason, and that reason usually justifies paper plates. After weeks and weeks of 100+ degree weather (or so they tell me. I have been living in 73 degree “weather.” It’s much nicer in here than out [...]
My meal plan has been difficult to follow this week. Not because of my crazy apprehensions this time, surprisingly enough, but because the sun has decided to camp out in my backyard and share its heat quite generously. Kind of like the little old lady who wants to share all of her extra soups *just* [...]
Even though we only have two adults and two kidlets eating, I have always cooked full meals for two reasons: 1. Leftovers are awesome. 2. Marrying young means you have bachelor friends who want to eat. It doesn’t happen so much now, but when we first got married, we always had someone over. I was [...]
Some days, despite the best of meal planning, are just sandwich days. You know the days I’m talking about, right? Today is shaping up to be another sandwich day. We slept in, so the kids will likely not nap. In fact, they show no signs of slowing. For the last 30 minutes or so, they [...]
On an unpredictable summer morning or even a suddenly dreary winter one, the last thing I want to think about is what lunch will be. Sometimes, what is meal-planned just doesn’t fit the day. You know? You plan soup and get hit with a sudden hot streak, or you plan smoothies and then realize it’s [...]
Word of advice? Don’t blog about food on an empty stomach. It’s as bad as grocery shopping.
Without it working, I would have been eating cucumbers and frozen broccoli, and that just ain’t gonna stick with you.
If you like tabouli, you will probably really dig this stuff. It’s definitely a summertime dish, with the minty flavor and best-served-coldness. I think, though, that I have a problem with tahini that I need to overcome. It’s just a personal problem and nothing for anyone else to worry about. When I was pregnant with [...]
