After posting about all the sweet things that filled my birthday, I thought I’d post a bit about my sweet tooth that I’ve been indulging this holiday weekend.
First off, I made a Blackberry Cobbler late last week. I made it a year or so ago for the first time, [...]  Some weeks I think, “where did my week go? did I get anything done at all?” On those weeks, it’s helpful to look around the corners of my home to find evidence of what I’ve been up to. Below is what this week is shaping up to be. ::On my table:: [...] So, I was planning a “Spring Organizing” theme for this week, but, well, I couldn’t get organized. Heh. Is that irony or just a fail? Even if I can’t organize theme weeks, I have been able to get some organizing done around here. Go me! As you know, I have a huge love for cookbooks. [...] I’ve been wanting to make tamales for a very long time. But, I’ve always heard it’s a long process and that it’s helpful to do it with someone who has made them before. I gave it a try anyway–and I’m so glad I did! In case you are feeling hesitant about making tamales, I thought [...] When I got this month’s Cooking Light magazine I let out an audible gasp. I knew this dish would quickly be added to my veggie week menu. I wasn’t disappointed! It is like a much lighter version of fettuccine alfredo. It’s great because it’s super fast, easy, and light. I think that the [...] Tonight I tried cooking with tempeh for the first time. Thankfully, my good friend Sarah was able to give me a few tips to make everything go smoothly! She advised me to boil the tempeh for a few minutes before marinating and cooking. It apparently takes the edge off of the strong tempeh flavor. After [...] Let me just preface this post by saying I am not (nor am likely to become) a vegetarian. I totally respect vegetarians, but it just isn’t for me. I love meat. I think people can consume it responsibly without adversely affecting the environment (buy from local farms, etc). And I love the complete nutrition that [...] Woohoo! I completed block #15 for the Block-a-palooza. Just one more to go. I really like the pattern on this block. I think an entire quilt made out of this block would be amazing. But maybe that’s just me and my love for pinwheels talking! On an entirely different note, I’ve been reading My [...] a.k.a. The Best Potato Soup You’ll Ever Eat You may have seen on the news that we are expecting a huge blizzard here in Chicago. This is our first one since living here, and I’m a little giddy. I can’t wait to see what all the hype is about. I couldn’t resist celebrating by making [...] I love Cooking Light! I know I’ve mentioned recipes from there before, but I gotta say it again–they are just great. I’m always inspired to try using new ingredients or to learn new ways of preparing food. For instance, until this week I had never cooked with Pomegranates. I’ve been missing out! This sauce was [...] |
