saturday in the kitchen
Roasting tomatoes. Caramelizing onions. Baking her favorite mac-n-cheese.
Morepacking some love
Things have been a little quiet on the blog because we have been very busy getting the 11yo ready for her first trip sans parentals. There has been lots of practice and more lists than you could probably imagine, but all that work has paid off. She is stoked! Her adults are at varying levels of nervousness […]

I’ve been trying to make more time for journaling to set some intention and reset. It might feel a little quiet here in the meantime.

countdown to summer is on
We use fruit as our seasonal markers here. The day the cold went away, the pleas for watermelon began. Adding it to the shopping list (in April!!!) is a bit overzealous, but all this means is that her had has switched to summer mode. Two more months to go until we are on summer break…

quesadilla dinner
They seemed like a total cop-out for dinner, but I snuck in some greens and dressed ’em with homemade salsa. All is well. Bellies are happy.
MoreCSA stash update
Thought it would be helpful to see how much produce we have left about halfway though our CSA pickup cycle (we get a Large share from JBG on a bi-weekly schedule). We started with all of this on March 23. Our next pickup is 6 days out. I’ll be making it through the week with the […]

spring reset
Taking a break from the good ol’ blog this week to do some spring cleaning and resetting of both physical and mental spaces. Catch you next week!
Moredreaming of my grandmother’s kitchen
Tonight’s dinner transports me back to my grandmother’s garden-side kitchen with the lime trees within reach of the door and fresh beans and mangoes just a few steps further. I had no idea that I would spend so much energy trying to recreate those moments. Merida… I miss you.
Moreveggie meal plan – march 9, 2015
Posting a bit late, but did manage to get a jumpstart on some food stuffs for the week. We’ll be squeezing in as much as we can work-wise before our lovely little city gets flooded with this madness and what we hope is a MUCH warmer Spring Break. Breakfast Smoothie Bowls with Granola & Fresh Berries […]
Morealmost a normal sunday
If we ignore the fact that the time change seems to have stolen our entire day, all is well. The sick seems to have finally been escorted out and I am trying to remind myself that this rain and grey is a much-needed respite for the green things outside. Simmering soup. Enjoying the sound of […]
