This weekend I very intentionally flipped through several of my recipe books to find a new recipe to make. After a couple books, I found things that I would want to make some day but not right now. While I don’t have a million cookbooks, I certainly have enough that it would be great to…
The name of this recipe might lead you to believe there is Guinness in it. And boy is there ever. Normally when a recipe calls for liquor or beer, it’s just a part of the ingredient list. But there is more beer in this stew than there is beef stock! There is a whole lot…
I’m always in the market for a new soup that doesn’t feel like something I’ve made before. Soup is incredibly versatile… but sometimes it does feel like all the recipes are the same. Well, this one is different. Very different. I came across this recipe from Bon Appetit in early January but finally got around to making…
It feels like everything I’ve been making recently has chick peas. When I went to the grocery store this weekend, I bought four cans of chick peas. So I need to find a way to pull back on this and add in some other substitutes. But in the meantime, this moroccan turkey stew is delicious.…
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…
Sometimes I make better decisions than others. But, if the most questionable decision I made this weekend was attempting beef bourginon at 8 pm on a Sunday … then my decisions were a million times more responsible than the passed out drunks on the street this weekend. Holidays like St. Patrick’s Day were never really…
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…
So, when I decided to make Irish Stew I honestly wondered what was different about this as compared to my previous beef stew. But I didn’t really think too much about it. I had beef stew to make and a long walk to take by the harbor. Must get to work. I’m of Irish heritage…
I tend to source my recipes from the interwebs … which is a sin considering how many cookbooks I have on my apartment shelves. Yes, plural. I love looking at cookbooks but rarely crack a page open to when looking for inspiration. I fall in love with the pictures … but then tend to forget…
It’s 10:30 PM on a Sunday and I’m tired. I’m tired but the amazing beef stew that I made today is too hot to jam into tupperware. I know this because I already melted one of my containers just a minute ago. Lesson learned. I’m working on my patience.
