Another month of Kitchen Bootcamp has come to a close. This month’s challenge was to make soup… What could be better for the month of January?
Though I haven’t posted them all, I’ve actually made quite a few soups this month. We’ve had some cold and snowy weather (though, not as much snow as I know many of you have had), so there have been many nights where I just craved some soup.
Sometimes I get so caught up in worrying about the main dish that I’m making for dinner that I tend to neglect the sides. Can you relate?
With Thanksgiving around the corner, you’ve probably already thought about the perfect recipe for a roast turkey and may have already settled on the perfect stuffing, too. But, if you’re much like me, you may have neglected to worry about what vegetables to make. Unfortunately, they don’t prepare and cook themselves.
So, this week, I thought I’d share my super simple recipe (if you can really call it a recipe) for Balsamic roasted vegetables. It’s my go to recipe for vegetables in the fall and winter (and once in a while the spring and summer, too!)… It’s easy to throw together and can just hang out in the oven while your other dishes are cooking/baking. Plus, it’s a favorite with my family and friends. In fact, my husband actually gets excited when he sees me prepping roasted vegetables. Who would have thought?
I find that I tend to only post the “special” recipes that I make here on my blog… When I make something simple and easy for dinner, I often think that it’s not “blog worthy” and skip over it. While I don’t think anyone wants to read about it every time I make grilled chicken…
I have to admit that I’ve been feeling like I’m in a bit of a blogging slump again lately. I seem to have lost some steam since my trip to NYC. As a result, I’m not feeling especially “wordy” as I write this week’s Friday Favorites. So, let’s get right down to business… The first order…
Quiche or tart? That is the question. At least, that is the question I posed to my twitterverse yesterday as I was making this dish. When baking an egg mixture in pastry shell in a tart pan, is it a quiche or a tart? Turns out (thanks to @EpicureanJourney) that a quiche is actually a…
I love to order Chinese takeout, but it really doesn’t help me much when it comes to eating better and watching my weight. So, I was excited when I noticed a Beef Lo Mein recipe in The Best of Cooking Light Everyday Favorites. As I mentioned before, I don’t follow recipes well. As per usual,…
I love to bake and make candy for Easter. So, in the week leading up to Easter, I try to make healthy dinners so that I can afford to splurge a little on Easter Sunday. This dinner is very healthy and super easy to make, too! I saw a recipe for fish packets in a…
After my tour of Boston’s North End, I did a little bit of shopping at Salumeria Italiana. Because I had to fly home the same evening, I wasn’t able to purchase much. I decided that pasta would fit easily into my suitcase without weighing it down. The store had a wonderful assortment of artisan and commercial…
