Butternut Squash Lasagna

You may have noticed that things have slowed down here a at My Kitchen Addiction in the last week or two… I’m afraid it’s a direct result of the fact that life is a bit crazy at the moment (and not slowing down anytime soon) as I am trying to get ready for Christmas!  I’m…

Spaghetti Squash-sagna

We are still eating the spaghetti squash from our garden this past summer.  I stashed a few of them in a large brown bag in my garage one day (trying to make space on my countertops) and totally forgot about them until this past weekend.  Amazingly, they are all still good, even after a few…

Parmesan Roasted Potatoes (Gourmet, Unbound)

As soon as I got word of Gourmet, Unbound, I began searching on Epicurious for the “perfect” recipe for this December.  I was determined to find a good one, since it was the first official month of Gourmet, Unbound.  I stumbled across this recipe for Peppermint Patties from the December 2007 issue, and I knew…

Butternut Squash Soup with Parmesan and Sage

A few weeks ago, Kelsey of the Naptime Chef asked me to participate in a virtual dinner party to celebrate the release of Park Avenue Potluck Celebrations, a collection of entertaining recipes from those who do it best. The proceeds of the cookbook benefit Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and the fight against cancer. I was…

Italian Stuffed Spaghetti Squash

My yellow lab loves to help in the garden.  She chews on the weeds and helps me dig holes.  She also loves to help pick vegetables. Yes, you heard me correctly… My dog loves her veggies! Last summer, it was my cucumber plant that she ambushed.  This summer, she discovered squash… Yellow squash, spaghetti squash, pumpkins……

Baked Seafood and Lemon Herb Pasta

You may be wondering, “What’s special about baked seafood?” and rightfully so. I like to try new ingredients when I cook, but seafood is one thing that terrifies me in the kitchen.  So, the special thing about this dish is that I managed to make a respectable seafood dish for dinner – one that both…

Grilled Eggplant and Squash Casserole

I have a bit of a confession to make – I don’t really like the summer.  I would love to live in a place where spring lasts until July and then turns instantly into fall. I’m just not a big fan of hot and sticky weather…  I’m more of a jeans and sweater girl. That said,…

Roasted Eggplant and Squash Pasta

During the Penny Pinching Pantry Raid, I was determined to use up the two bags of Wacky Mac (multi-colored rotini-like pasta) that were hanging out in my pantry.  I’m not exactly sure what I thought I was going to do with them when I picked up two bags at the store.  It was free, though,…

CSA Pizza

When posed with the challenge of finding something to make with the remaining veggies from my CSA share last week, I decided to make some pizza.  It seemed like a great way to use the remaining zucchini, kale, and cherry tomatoes.  Especially since I had all of the ingredients for homemade pizza dough and pizza…

Whole Wheat Rigatoni with Sauteed Kale

When life hands you kale?  Make pasta, of course! Last week we got our first CSA share. In it, there was a big bunch of kale. I tend to keep away from greens at the grocery store – kale, swiss chard,  bok choy, etc.  I never really knew what to do with them… and it’s not…
