I was just thinking the other night as I was making dinner how MUCH I like not feeling sick anymore. That first part of pregnancy is still very near to my mind. Also, you can tell when we're getting the CSA box because suddenly every recipe I make for dinner is from Perry's Plate. (By the way, of COURSE I didn't cook this much in one week - this is a couple of weeks put together to make a nice looking little menu where I pretend we didn't once have Chex with strawberries for dinner and ...

A Post-Vacation Menu
Nothing is better for me than cooking after a long vacation. It just fills my nerdy soul with joy to have a full fridge and a menu plan. The dishes, however, are less thrilling to me. But that's what Bart is for. Monday Grilled Peach Pizza - a little different, but quite good. Bart, especially, loved it. Roasted asparagus (Ella blew my mind by scarfing down the asparagus. I guess she didn't get the memo that this isn't a normal toddler food). Grapes Tuesday Roasted Corn ... Read More about A Post-Vacation Menu
Early Summer Eating
You know how I was all "oh yeah, we basically never eat meat anymore." You will not believe me when you look at last week's menu. See, we went to Costco with some friends and I bought a ridiculous amount of organic chicken thighs and then I sort of couldn't stop myself from just throwing something in the crockpot almost every morning. Monday BBQ Chicken Sandwiches Potato Salad (I left out the eggs and olives because. . .no. I don't do eggs in my potato salad). Blackberries and ... Read More about Early Summer Eating
A Week of Fall Meals
One of the things I've loved about the CSA (I know, I know, you're thinking "will she ever stop talking about the stupid CSA?") is that we've eaten so many fresh meals this summer, that it's fun to get into fall (or, you know, below 90 degrees) and eat slightly heavier, warmer meals. Hello, crockpot, is basically what I'm saying here. My family was here this last weekend and between that and the various Halloween festivities, I basically haven't cooked in a week, but here's what we ate ... Read More about A Week of Fall Meals
It’s Just Food Food Food Around Here Lately
In case you thought we were only eating ice cream around here, I shall put your mind at ease. I make dinner nearly every single night (I will say that when Bart's busy season starts and they have dinner at work every night for many weeks, I will probably need to start buying some Cinnamon Toast Crunch because I'm not exactly about to make a full dinner for just me). Also, I just read Bill Bryson's At Home for book club, and it talked about a country parson who kept a very meticulous diary ... Read More about It’s Just Food Food Food Around Here Lately
