I don’t make a lot of “regular” dinners…
I try not to make too much “blog only” food during the week, so the majority of what you see here on the site is what we’re eating. As a result, I don’t tend to make the same thing too frequently… And, I often opt for new recipes and flavor combinations.
It’s been downright chilly around here lately. Granted, it’s not nearly as cold as it is in Boston, Chicago, or Minneapolis… But, it has been cold!
So, when I have been thinking about what to make for dinner each night, soup is constantly the first thing that comes to my mind. I guess that it’s handy that soup is the theme for this month’s Kitchen Bootcamp challenge!
Do you ever start to tire of certain items in your CSA box from week to week?
Though I always do my best to find creative uses for all of the produce that we get each week, this year I have definitely started to have my fill of a few things – especially mini orange peppers and collard greens. I’ve never been much of a greens person, so that’s always one of my big CSA challenges. We get kale, chard, collards, and lots of varieties of lettuce. While they may all be good for me, I have to admit that I usually end up going back to the same things over and over when it comes to cooking with them.
One of my tried and true flavor combinations for greens is to pair them with spicy Italian sausage. I know I’m not the first person to utilize that flavor combo and I’m certain that I won’t be the last, either. Though I have revisited the flavors a few times (like this butternut quiche a few weeks ago…), I do try to find ways to incorporate the flavors into new dishes.
Though it seemed like a great idea at the time, I’m not totally sure why I picked sandwiches for this month’s Kitchen Bootcamp challenge. The thing is, I’m not really a sandwich person. Some people can eat a sandwich for lunch every day, but I’m not one of those people, so it’s been a bit of…
I’m sure all of you already know that two of my favorite things are Nutella and espresso. Who’s with me? When I was asked to write a guest post for Flavia’s Flavors, I thought I’d combine the two in a rich and creamy ice cream. After all, Flavia is on vacation in Italy (and I…
Today I am thrilled to welcome another blogger as a part of my summer mini-series! Today we are taking a trip to visit Flavia from Flavia’s Flavors. I was especially excited to see what Flavia would come up with for a guest posts because she makes some incredible Italian dishes. As you know, I love all…
Are you familiar with Works for Me Wednesday hosted by We Are THAT Family? I’ve been lurking in the shadows reading everyone’s great tips for a while, and I have finally (finally!) decided that it’s time for me to join in. I’ve shared a few tips on my blog in the past, but I’m making…
I’ve had a few guest bloggers drop by this summer to share some of their favorite recipes with you. And, I think it’s only fair that I also drop by their blogs to return the favor! Plus, sometimes I find it refreshing to write a guest post because it forces me to take a step…
Last week I promised to share the recipe for the spinach artichoke ravioli that I served with my creamy gorgonzola sauce… So, here it is! We got another big bunch of spinach in our CSA share last week, so I decided to take the opportunity to stock my freezer with some more filled pasta. This…
The best thing about slow cooker recipes is that I usually have leftovers. When I take the time to prepare a meal in my slow cooker, I always make sure to make a large batch so that I can use it later in the week or pop it into the freezer for a quick meal on…
