I (or technically, John) remembered to pick up my CSA veggie share this week – I really missed what I forgot last week! The treasure this week included lovely new potatoes and spinach, so I made a warm potato-spinach salad, with sweet onions and mustard vinaigrette. Made a tasty snack/dinner. I plan on having it…

I have a new hot date each week! Friday Morning Coffee with Suz, it’s a lovely way to go into the weekend because let’s face it, in this day and age weekends aren’t quite the break they’re meant to be. For us, and for everyone else I know, it’s run, run, run! Baseball, basketball, Sunday…

As promised – soup! Here are a couple of recipes for quick, light, AND satisfying soups. The classic Greek avgolemono (egg-lemon). And a quick black bean. Either are ready in twenty, with very few ingredients. Keep in mind that a lovely garnish – dollop of sour cream, sprinkle of toasted nuts, chopped raw onion or…

Another gorgeous September day and I will take it! Makes long walks positively delightful. Along with my iPod – I’ve had one, technically John’s old one, for just about a year and only organized and put my music on it last week! Who knows what the hell I was waiting for…that’s such typical, nonsensical, Stephanie-procrastination…

A very quiet weekend, not much fun to report, actually. Damn! And no cooking either! Didn’t feel much like it, in fact, I’m going to dial down the number of full-on dinners I make each week – it’s just not moderate enough, for me. I do much better consumption-wise if I just have a hearty…

Pea soup? Yes pea soup, sweet pea soup a la Auriga, and it was glorious. If you go to Auriga for dinner – and you should, it’s very special (and not just because it’s the site of my first date with John, ha)- order whatever soup they’re serving. I have yet to devour a bowl…

Good morning! Wow, I hope it’s as nice where you are as it is here in the Minneapple because it is STUNNING. Cool, crisp, sunshiney perfection. September’s only flaw – and therefore, of course, its terrible sweetness – is that this intoxicating fragrance, color, and light are The End of fragrance, color, and light for…

Now that it’s no longer chilly, I’m making…chili. Alright, perhaps my timing is a bit off, but it’ll still taste mighty good for dinner tonight. Beans on the side, of course, one of John’s (picky!) requirements, but easy enough to accomodate. This is a relatively straightforward chili except for the addition of a bit of…

Baseball Moms at McCoy’s this September 11, so not much cooking for me. I had planned to make a Cobb salad for din, but had a big late-afternoon snack, and knew I’d have a bite at the bar, so sent John a quick email… Uh, Honey, I don’t think in all honesty that I’m making…

Wake up! Kind of tough on a dark, cloudy Sunday morning, but I’ve just discovered that a late breakfast of (reheated) spicy, garlicky falafel, in a warm pita with creamy, oniony yogurt sauce, gets the blood a’flowin’, hoooooeeeey! No one will want to come near me all day, but that’s OK. It’s a curl-up-with-a-book kind…
