Guess Who Is Coming To Dinner…

No one. But tonight was one of those nights where I felt like someone was coming to dinner because we had some good food. I was getting bored, being at home, so I decided to make a small-ish apple pie for dessert tonight. So, I do not have the mini tart pan that I really…… Continue reading Guess Who Is Coming To Dinner…

Monday…

Why hello there, bloggies. How is your Monday going? Things here are fine. I fully intended to have oatmeal for breakfast today, but my mom left me half of a blueberry muffin… I had it with a cup of coffee out of my Black Dog coffee mug: I put the muffin in the toaster oven…… Continue reading Monday…

Lunch

A Sunday Burger…

I did end up going out to lunch today with a friend. I did not end up finding the perfect mini tart pan 😦 . I got over it, because I had a pretty amazing hamburger for lunch. I started my Sunday morning off with a cup of strong Starbucks coffee, brewed at home, and…… Continue reading A Sunday Burger…

Mini Tart Pan, Anyone?

Happy Sunday morning to you all. I hope your weekend has not been below zero or too snowy. Today I am off to lunch, where I might get a hamburger (only three days until my surgery and I’ll be back to chicken noodle soup in no time…) or a milkshake (both are things I have…… Continue reading Mini Tart Pan, Anyone?

Breakfast

Savory Apple Pancake…

This morning my mom made breakfast. I walked into the kitchen as my mom was slicing up an apple. At first I thought she was preparing her baked apples or a famous dish, fried apples. I had no idea what was coming. It was the awesome savory apple pancake. This recipe is from the 1970s…… Continue reading Savory Apple Pancake…

I took a really horrible photograph via my iPhone, just for the record: Garnished with more freshly ground pepper…… Continue reading Soup

Butternut Squash Soup Part 2

I let the soup cook on low for 45 minutes… While the soup was cooking I cleaned up the first part of my soup preparation. Once everything was washed and dried, I set up my mom’s food processor. (I was not about to get mine out of the attic even though I am partial to…… Continue reading Butternut Squash Soup Part 2

Butternut Squash Soup Part 1

When you make a soup like this it sort of takes a while. A lot of the time you feel like you are waiting around. So I figured what better way to wait around than write a Part 1 post. First, I cut my squash into two pieces – I took out the seeds. I…… Continue reading Butternut Squash Soup Part 1

Snowed in… almost

Happy Hump Day everyone. I don’t know about you, but I had a great day planned and the snow is sort of wrecking it for me. I stayed up way too late last night reading this book on my nook. Even though I went to sleep late, I went to sleep without a problem and…… Continue reading Snowed in… almost

What to do with left over vegetables…

I never knew using left over vegetables could be so easy… For the last two days (Monday night’s dinner and today for lunch) I have been enjoying my left over vegetable stir fry, baked tofu and brown rice dish: This was a seriously good meal that I had just made on a whim. I honestly…… Continue reading What to do with left over vegetables…
