Last night I made dinner for my friends, and their son Henri (who is 17 months old). I went with the new pasta dish I made a couple of weeks ago. I love this meal because you can really put any sort of vegetable you want in it… For this go around I used one…… Continue reading Dinner
was sort of like an epic fail. I was so tired this morning when my alarm went off at 6am. I knew I would be… so I decided to sleep until 6:30 and take the 7:20 train into work. All was going well, I got up right at 6:30 when my alarm went off. Had…… Continue reading This morning…
Hooray for the second day of work! Getting up this morning was not quite as bad as I thought it would be (I think it might hit me tomorrow?? I hope not!). I took the train to work, so I was able to get up at 6 o’clock instead of 5:45 – every fifteen minutes…… Continue reading Tuesday
Here is yet another ‘idea’ when you are cooking a dinner for one…. a rice, bean and vegetable quesadilla, on a whole wheat tortilla. I started cooking the rice about a half hour before I wanted to eat. I seasoned it with garlic and chili powder. After the rice cooked for about twenty minutes,…… Continue reading Monday Night: Dinner for One
Last night we had dinner at the Broad and Arrow Tavern at the Harraseeket Inn. There are two ways to dine at the Harraseeket, and every year my mom, sister and I partake in both ways. One night we dine more casually (but superbly) at the Tavern, and the other night we have our fancy…… Continue reading Dinner at the Tavern
Hi All – So tonight for dinner mom and I had pulled pork sandwiches. I always think of this as one of my mom’s specialties and I love it when she makes it. She found the recipe a couple of years ago on the All Recipes website. Here is the link: Pulled Pork Sandwiches .…… Continue reading Pulled Pork Sandwich
a la Jacques Pépin. I love his recipe, but I usually change it around a bit. Today I had to change it because the market I went to this afternoon did not have eggplant. Eggplant is definitely a summer item, but I saw a few at Whole Foods the other day… so I was hoping.…… Continue reading Ratatouille with Penne…
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
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…
