last of summer and a recipe
Temperatures make it a little hard to tell, but summer is wrapping up in Austin. We picked up what I am sure is going to be our last watermelon of the year with our tuber-heavy CSA stash. In the kitchen, I am closing out the summer with one last batch of my summer squash risotto. […]

Picked up a handful of vegetables at the grocery store (peppers, cukes, zucchini, etc.) and am working my pantry and freezer to the max this week to help pull all of our meals together. Wish me luck as I try to cook up a week’s worth of meals without my trusty CSA stash. Meals Quinoa […]

the “to-try” list
The internet is filled with ideas and things to try and for years I would bookmark recipes or send myself links and then {Clouds part. Sun shines.} I realized that my note taking tool, Evernote, was the perfect archive. I’ll sometimes tag things by season, but for the most part, I just send the link on […]

veggie meal plan – february 22, 2015
The temperature is plummeting as I type this post and we are just a *wee bit* miffed about it. 30º may not seem like a big deal in February too most, but this is Central Texas and it was in the 70s just a couple of days ago. Stomps feet. Will be warming the house […]

I’ve spent every spare moment this weekend in the kitchen. Washing greens, shredding cabbage, roasting veggies, and getting the fridge armed with basics (grains, legumes, dip, salad dressings, etc.) makes it a kazillion times easier to reach for something reasonably healthy when the hunger pangs strike. My sweet tooth this week will be satiated with […]

I ended up with a little more variety than originally expected, but we seem to have eaten through way more of our veggies last week than I planned. I picked up a few extra things – cauliflower and an acorn squash from the grocery store to help. I am also trying a completely new (to […]

It 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 […]

Greetings 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, […]

The 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 […]

It’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.

We 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. […]

Picked 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 […]

Thanks 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 […]
