I’ve been wanting to make raviolis for quite a long time. I first attempted them back in 2010 from scratch… without pretty much any kitchen equipment. It didn’t go terribly but it also wasn’t a raging success. Ever since then, the closest I’ve gotten to fresh pasta was making gnocchi. Given that I haven’t acquired…
I’ve been slowly making more progress in my kitchen recently… and have stock piled a few recipes that I need to write up. This is one of them…. and it’s an easy one. There is something about butternut squash soup that just screams Fall. I fully intended on picking up the squash for bargain prices…
I’ve never been one to hide my love of snacks – especially ones that include fake cheese. For my birthday this year, my team gave me a giant box of Goldfish… so my love and dedication to snacking is clearly well documented. But recently I’ve been trying to eat my “pivot table” feelings less… and…
I’m slowly trying to get back to a place where I cook more. While I am slowly feeling more settled in my apartment, there are two thing that always make a place feel like home. Cooking … and stuff on the walls. All of my walls are currently empty. But the quinoa cakes help. I…
Last weekend I stood in the Charlestown parking garage with a dilemma. I already had two bags to carry the .80 mile (or 12 minute) walk home… but I also really wanted to bring this heavy cast iron dutch oven as well. And, it was raining. The thing is… I had a lot of plans…
This soup sounds a bit like something you’d eat for lunch if you were trying to be really healthy. But in reality it’s what I made for the a Downton Abbey Dinner … except that we were so tired that we opted to instead just watch “How I Met Your Mother”. Sometimes you just need…
And… we are back to Downton Abbey season! I feel oddly cautious about burning myself out like I did last year. A three course meal is a fair bit of work for each Sunday evening – obviously, it’s not terrible work … but work none the less. There were some great hits last year. Kerrianne…
Disclaimer: This soup tastes better than it looks. I promise. But, I guess it’s soup season for reals. It’s December – so that makes sense. As I write this posting, it is actually snowing outside and I think that’s perfect. I was on a major soup binge last year – and haven’t quite hit my…
It’s officially the end of garden fresh veggies. As of last night I have finally cooked or eaten, all of the hot peppers, tomatoes, and the lone eggplant that were produced from my fire escape or my Dad’s suburban oasis. Earlier this week, I plucked what I think will be the final tomatoes from the…
I’m not one for spicy foods normally. It’s like self-inflicting pain that I’m just not normally one to be a part of. I’ve gotten more accepting of “hot salsas” but the idea of spicy Indian food or the equivalent isn’t exactly in my “taste palate wheel house”. Is a “taste palate wheel house” a thing?…
