Happy Valentine’s Day! To my friends and family – I heart you! And in honor of feelin’ all that love, I thought I’d make a list of material indulgences (and potential gift ideas for your sweetie?) that I’m loving (or would like to be loving) today, too: Chocolate: Ritter Sport milk chocolate (inexpensive and available…

I made John and Nathan’s night by preparing nothing more than avgolemono (Greek egg-lemon soup). It’s one of their very favorites, which is incredibly lucky for me, really – four ingredients, that’s it! Broth, rice, egg yolks, and lemon juice. Simple perfection. It is delicious, and makes a satisfying dinner with a big (but not…

Siggy Roooo! Also (and originally) known as Sigmund, our almost-15-year-old Gordon Setter. That’s old for any dog, obviously, but especially for a larger breed. The old man is definitely showing his age these days – rheumy eyes, bony, arthritic hips, weak voice, sleeps most of the day, tends to fall alot, and there’s precious little…

The pot roast hit the spot last night and made simple, scrumptious sandwiches for an early dinner tonight. Yeah, baby! We ate early because I’m soon heading over to Suz’s to celebrate the one-year anniversary of Feminine Hijinx. Kim, Suz, and I will be celebrating by…podcasting, of course! As well as sipping a little wine…

Craaaaazy busy in this household the past week and a half – sorry for my absence! We’ve finally caught a little break here now though, ahhhhhh.

Capped a lovely, relaxing Sunday with caramelized, salty, roasted vegetables, this time cauliflower and asparagus. John and I stood there scarfing them right off the hot pans, burning our fingers, they’re that good. Wilted and soft with a crunchy exterior, mmmm. And easy? Pah-lease, the easiest EVAR. Do this for any vegetable: preheat the oven…

Pass the pork please, oink, oink! At least in this yummy iteration, a quick, savory-sweet pork stew with couscous. Cooper even had some! The secret ingredient? Dried grapes! Ha, I couldn’t resist (per yesterday’s post). Of course I mean raisins, in this case golden raisins, oooh. As well as lots of garlic and onion. And…

Nathan and I met my friend Chris at Brix Bistro & Wine Bar for an early dinner last night. Brix is the Italian-ish sister of McCoy’s (aka the home-base of the Baseball Moms), both of which are located at Excelsior on Grand in St. Louis Park (Brix inhabits the space fomerly known as Mojito). We…

Cobb salad, that’s what I decided to make with my leftover poached chicken. I lurveCobb salad, but it can be over-the-moon caloric, so one needs to implement a few tricks to keep it tasty and healthy. Go ahead and load up on many of the healthier ingredients – lettuce, sweet onion, tomatoes, and chicken breast….

Yes! I am alive! I’ve just been…what? Traveling to fabulous places? Uh, no. I’ve just been not cooking much, truth be told, so I haven’t had much to write about. I did have another birthday celebration this week, however, with the Baseball Moms on Thursday night. Woo hoo! We met at McCoy’s for our usual…
