Morning Baking: Zucchinni-Banana Bread
I’ve been baking a lot of banana bread (like at least once a week) this Fall. In part, the bread is a perfect snack for me during a long day of teaching and less messy than some of the other options I tried out earlier this term: sunflower butter with apple slices, which is delicious… Read More Morning Baking: Zucchinni-Banana Bread
Delicata Squash with an Egg in the Hole
Last week we picked up a Delicata squash at Trader Joe’s … I had never seen one before and was feeling intrigued as they are smaller than butternut (which we had a couple weeks ago) but still felt fall-like and festive. I decided to half it and roast it in the oven and then drop… Read More Delicata Squash with an Egg in the Hole
Comfort Food: Spicy Chicken Soup
I was feeling a little under the weather earlier this week and thus was needing some spicy chicken soup. So, I poked around the internet and then threw together a combo of what I found. It turned out quite spicy and delicious and was exactly what I needed. Plus, like so often with the crockpot, it… Read More Comfort Food: Spicy Chicken Soup
Sunday Ingredient: Shishito Peppers
We almost didn’t go to the Farmers’ Market on Sunday because it was pouring. Like sheets of rain with a super dark sky, pouring. But, then luckily after a couple hours and an FM opening delay, the sun came out and the market opened. So we took a walk and then stopped by to find… Read More Sunday Ingredient: Shishito Peppers
Comfort Food & Spicing Up Potatoes
Sometimes a bad day requires comfort cooking or rather the comfort of cooking. Today was mostly that kind of day and I needed to use the remnants of food that we brought back from the beach, including a bag of small potatoes (before I could do real grocery shopping). I eat a lot (like a… Read More Comfort Food & Spicing Up Potatoes
Midweek snack: Marinated Zucchini
This last week, I found (unsurprisingly perhaps) a giant zucchini and summer squash at the farmer’s market. They were so pretty and looked so good that I got one of each. Honestly, I wish I had bought more! But, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with them … I debated stuff squash (inspired… Read More Midweek snack: Marinated Zucchini
Summer Cocktails: Palomas
Last Friday I was listening the radio on my way home from taking the dog to the Beltline and was delighted to find out that it was National Tequila Day. I felt confident it was a made-up (i.e. fake marketing) holiday but I also felt that it would such a shame not to celebrate it! Plus, it was… Read More Summer Cocktails: Palomas
Sunday Ingredient: Okra
As a kid growing up in California, I never had heard of okra much less tried it. The first time I ate it was (I think?) in a friend’s gumbo and my first reactions were (sad to say) a little confused and not terribly supportive of the weirdly slimy vegetable. But! Then, I moved to… Read More Sunday Ingredient: Okra
