Hola from an unseasonably warm, late fall in Austin. All things that depend on climate are a bit confused (trees still have leaves, peppers still showing up in my CSA box, butterflies still hanging out, and our backyard owl is a no show so far). We had a nice long break last week and […]
MoreThe fall season marks the beginning of an 8-9 month watermelon mourning season. Perhaps more importantly though, it means the start of greens-washing season. Wash, spin, wash again, spin, and then lay out on a rag for its final drying stage before it gets portioned and sent to the fridge. Today’s CSA stash means […]
MoreIt is Thanksgiving week and we are breaking up our veggie routine by giving a new local CSA program a whirl. I love the flexibility that picking up my CSA at Johnson’s Backyard Garden at the market offers, but I figured it was time to give someone else a shot. That someone else is Farmhouse […]
MoreGreetings from an unusually cold Austin! I had grand plans to get my week of meals kickstarted over the weekend, but something had me feeling icky. There were some germs in the vicinity so it was collectively decided that I should not be in charge of any food prep with potentially germ-ridden hands. Feeling way better now, […]
MoreThe weekend was filled with costumes, birthday cake (his) and much cooler weather, so yeah… it was a good one. This week’s vegetarian meal plan includes some of the best that our fall growing seasons has to offer – kale, spinach, peppers (they won’t go away!), cilantro, parsley, onions, spaghetti squash, salad greens, green beans, and […]
MoreIt’s Halloween week which also means that it’s the week before his birthday so we are running in a few different directions. Quick list of the quick meals that I have in mind for the week.
MoreWe had a busier weekend than expected and the cooler weather triggered all sorts of knitting urges that, unfortunately, were tended to in place of my weekday meal prep. It is going to make for a slightly busier Monday night, but I still think that we can pull off a solid week of homemade meals. […]
MorePicked up my CSA stash yesterday and the kitchen now has Fall oozing out of every nook and cranny. We have greens! I’ll be making my usual batches of beans, roasted veggies, and sauces to help ease dinner and lunch prep during the week later today. Also have my eye on these new(ish) things for […]
MoreThanks for letting me take a week off! We had some lovely family downtime and I feel re-energized after a library visit and some much-needed kneading time in the kitchen. I’m back with a quick list of what I have planned for the week. CSA pickup is on Saturday so we are working with the […]
MoreThis past year has been a whirlwind, so we are still relishing the bit of quiet that this year’s end seems to be holding. The cold weather is perfectly in sync with our “hunker-down” mood and even our lists are feeling less daunting. This weekend we watched movies, got lots of rest in and even […]
MoreGuys! I have to make breakfast tomorrow morning and pack a lunch and go to work and have juice left (hopefully) for cooking dinner in the evening. ADM*, ya’ll. A.D.M. Monday Breakfast – Grapefruit & Tacos Lunch – Thanksgiving Leftovers (Winter Squash Soup, Roasted Brussel Sprouts) + Kale Cheddar Muffins (from Austin Bakes) + Apples […]
