Hi all. I just wanted to let you know that posting here is going to be very sparse. I am dealing with some personal issues and I don’t know how that’s going to affect my blogging. Stay Happy, Friends.
Stir Fry Veggies with Ginger Basil Dressing
I got the inspiration for this dish when perusing Daisy Jane’s blog after being lead there by something or another on Pinterest (There’s a link to my Pinterest on the side bar, if you’re interested). I can’t quite remember why I was there initially, but this ginger-basil dressing that I found definitely wormed its way … Continue reading »
Spaghetti Squash Frittata
Have you ever tried spaghetti squash? My first encounter with it was when I was a child (a very picky eater) and my parents sold it to me as actual spaghetti. Meanies! Aside from that childhood experience I hadn’t had it again until last year. It’s not like other squash in texture, it has more … Continue reading »
Lentils

I’ve had quite a few things going on in my personal life, including a change of professional scenery and the beginning of a full time semester in graduate school.

Roasted Tomato Pasta with White Wine Sauce
I know, another pasta dish within the week. We’ve been on a bit of a budget at my house and whole wheat pasta is both inexpensive and filling. It has the added bonus of making enough for leftovers to take with me for lunch the next day. Anyway, I mentioned before that I’m not a … Continue reading »
Cucumber and Lemon Basil Lemonade
Lemon Basil! I discovered this in my CSA box and was so pleased! It smells amazing and tastes great in salads and as a water enhancer. It was also a pleasing addition to this refreshing lemonade. The combination of cucumber and lemon basil in this drink makes it a grown up lemonade, and I wouldn’t … Continue reading »
Creamy Butternut Squash Baked Pasta
Oh, my friends. This dish is wonderful. It’s like fall in my house (even though it’s only July). I received a butternut squash in my box this week and knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. Make the Winter Squash Lasagna from Deborah Madison’s book Vegetarian Suppers. I had a bag of whole … Continue reading »
Stuffed Heirloom Tomatoes
Great things happen in the kitchen when you are pushed outside of your normal little box! I’ve gotten heirloom tomatoes a few weeks in a row now in my Chow Locally CSA box. And, my friends, I must confess that I hate raw tomatoes! There’s just something about them I can’t stand. The seeds are … Continue reading »
