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…

I forget about couscous – why? It’s so easy and delicious, duh, I should be reaching for it all the time. I had bought the larger grain Israeli couscous from the bulk bins awhile back and finally got around to using it last night. Wanted something light with it, so just did a quick saute/simmer…

Happy Birthday to my cousin MaryBeth! Ahhh, a cup of tea. So simple and yet so powerful. We’ve all heard about the many health benefits of drinking tea, from boosting the immune system to preventing cancer. (Note: to reap these benefits, it turns out you need to sip sans milk, read here for more info.)…

First recipe of 2007 – roasted halibut with aromatic broth! Made it up tonight, in fact, a light, quick, and tasty dish. Quite pretty to boot! John was thrilled to pieces – since I’ve been cooking much (ahem) less this fall and winter, he’s been a bit bummed. But he’s dropped a few pounds as…

Happy. It was a Happy Birthday indeed! I’m still happy about it, ha. We opened with a Nathan basketball game, then made our way to Lucia’s for brunch with Stacey, Bowen, and soft-n-sweet Baby Cooper. We didn’t actually eat Cooper up – although it’s tempting because he is insanely adorable, we’re all complete idiots around…

Happy 1st Birthday Moderate Epicurean! (What, you say? I thought the old gal was 40 today? ‘Tis true, so read on…) Happy 1st Birthday to this blog! Yes, I birthed “the moderate epicurean” one year ago today. (Much less painful than 8.8 lb. Nathan, I highly recommend the experience.) What a year! What a ride!…
