1. Last night I felt like a little caterer last night. My mom was going to a dinner party and she wanted to bring radish toasts with her. So she bought a baguette, and I got to work. I created two plates of these: Apparently they were a big hit. I would love to cook…… Continue reading A couple of things…
Hi Readers. Let me tell you about the dinner I just had. Yesterday I bought one of my favorite books (that I’ve written about about on the blog…) Lunch In Paris by Elizabeth Bard. I read the book this past summer, but I knew it would be a book that I had to have in…… Continue reading Most Amazing Dinner For One
One of my favorite snacks would be radish toasts. I had a few tonight because I had the remains of a weekend baguette and radish: Can someone please explain to me why this combo is so amazing? If you have not tried it here is what you do: if your bagette is on its last…… Continue reading Radish toasts…
So… for the first time since the surgery I (I think..?) exercised. I went for a lovely 30 minute walk. Then I walked while I did a couple of errands. (CVS, bookstore, Starbucks.) I walked into, scanned the seating area, noticed that all of the tables and chairs were taken – and I walked out.…… Continue reading Exercise and Lunch
I will not call it chicken pot pie because it has puff pastry on top! I love puff pastry. And because of that I love pepperidge farm because they make a puff pastry and it saves me every time. So, because I did not have to worry about the pastry, I could dedicate myself to…… Continue reading Chicken Pie with Puff Pastry!
Today I spent 90 ¢ at the market. I got away with two red potatoes and a small yellow onion for under a dollar! I almost cannot believe it. I paid with change. Do I really have to deduct the 90¢ from my twenty dollar budget? I paid with change. I did not even break…… Continue reading 90 cents
I went to the market again yesterday (Sunday) and spent ten dollars on fresh produce. I am going to try and reduce my spending / food purchasing again this week. I am going to try and limit my week’s spending to 20 dollars. Can I do it? We shall see. Yesterday I bought cherry tomatoes…… Continue reading $20 for the week?
I roasted a chicken, made mashed potatoes for the first time (!) and baked amazing scones… Remember how I did not go to the grocery store on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday? (and for the record the only thing I bought on Monday was 6 ounces of wild salmon – so that does not really count,…… Continue reading This weekend…
Well, the dough was amazing. I have decided that I cannot make it again because I cannot stop eating the pizza. The night I made it I had two pieces. Thankfully I had a spinach and grape tomato salad on the side: The whole wheat curst is seriously so delicious. I almost cannot stand how…… Continue reading Amazing Pizza
Lunch today was the last of the french onion soup along with some veggies and humus. It was so good… but I must say I am really looking forward to tonight’s dinner. I just hope the dough will turn out alright. For my soup I made my own croutons because my mom took the last…… Continue reading Lunch
