While I had this for dinner, I might call this my new favorite appetizer. I will absolutely be making this again – and in literally as many seasons as I can. It’s kind of the appetizer opportunity for getting rid of the “extra leftover veggies” in your fridge. Except for the fact that I just…
I didn’t really do an excessive amount of things today – but I did get a few things off my to-do list. Reorganizing some of my pictures. Watched a Hallmark movie (or two). Ate leftover pizza … and took a walk through the Hoyt-Hall trails in Marshfield. I rarely find a trail that I am…
Merry Christmas Eve! Eleanor and I are currently in the middle of a long Hallmark movie marathon that has lasted for over a month. I started counting how many movies the other day and I can decide if I’m embarrassed or proud at the number. In my defense, I was on vacation for two weeks…
I never thought I would put pesto into a soup – but now I’ve done it … and it’s delicious. Turns out you don’t need a ton of ingredients or sodium for a flavorful soup. It’s pretty clear that I’m back on the soup train hard these days. One of the amazing things about my…
I’m not sure what drew me to making this recipe. I rarely make vegetarian meals in part because unless there is pasta, I’m convinced that I’m going to be hungry again in a hot second. I found this recipe when I was on the hunt for low sodium ideas. There isn’t really a lot to…
Corn chowder is one of my favorite soups – and yet I’ve never made it before this time. Over the summer I traded some tomato jam and fresh garden veggies for my neighbor Tom’s corn chowder… and it was amazing. I tried to file it away on my cooking to-do list, but completely forgot until…
I’m going to get straight to the point. These cookies are fast, easy, and delicious. There is also a high probability that you already have all the ingredients in the cabinet. I was sitting on the floor this morning scanning old pictures and really felt the urge to make some cookies. In between batches of…
It snowed for the first time this season on Sunday night – which really means garden kale season is over. It’s been so windy and cold the last few days that I’ve made very little progress breaking down the rest of the plants. As brutal as it is to do in November, I’ve got to…
I’m emotionally quite ready for Christmas. I’ve also nearly decorated the house inside and out. I haven’t quite taken down all my decorative white pumpkins yet… but those are just small details. I’ll take those suckers down the day after Thanksgiving – and maybe make one more stuffed pumpkin to close out the season. One…
I might have found a new favorite way to cook fish. It is so shockingly easy. I found it when I was flipping through Better Homes & Gardens magazine while eating an almond croissant and watching the tide come in. So, it was clearly a rough day. The picture on the page completed lured me…
