Sunday cooking
Posted in dinner, veggies on January 11, 2012 | 4 Comments »
One of my goals for this year is to cook more. I was so inspired by this video from The Kitchn and this article from the New York Times. On Sunday, after a really lovely brunch, Ryan and I went to the store and spent the afternoon washing, chopping, roasting, and sautéing. [...]
Butternut Squash Gratin with Goat Cheese and Leeks
Posted in dinner, gluten free, holidays, veggies on November 21, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
This is one of my all time favorite Thanksgiving recipes! People always love it, and it can be completely assembled a day before you want to serve it, which is awesome. Start with a gigantic butternut squash. Actually, start by preheating the oven to 400. Then grab your huge squash. This squash was a little ridiculous. [...]

While we were in California, we finally got to eat at ad hoc, Thomas Keller’s more casual restaurant. Oh my goodness it as amazing. My parents were so nice and drove us out to Yountville to meet up with Megan and John. On the way, we had to stop at Dean and Deluca. I can’t [...]

Grad school has been over for a few weeks now and I have spent sufficient time catching up on magazines and bad tv, sleeping in, lounging around, and making millions of smoothies in my new Vita-Mix (YAY!). Being home all day has been nice because I’ve been able to fix meals for us. Here’s what I ate [...]
the best bean soup

I was digging around in a drawer in the kitchen today and found this: I got it at Trader Joe’s a long time ago. It was kind of rainy and cool today, so I decided to make soup for dinner! I started soaking the beans around 7 this morning, and then let them soak until [...]

Our friend Amanda gave us some serious summer squash last night. They were each about the size of my arm. Geordi was very interested in these. (Can you tell that we still need to finish our little kitchen renovation???) I decided to make a quick soup using two of these mega-squash and freeze it for [...]

Tonight called for lots of veggies! I had a bunch in the fridge, and it is just so hot we don’t feel like eating much else. I peeled and seeded two cucumbers, and chopped them in the food processor using the slicing attachment. I also sliced up about 3/4 a red onion, two red bell [...]

I made delicious tacos the other night with the yellow summer squash from our CSA box. Summer squash and an onion sauteed in olive oil with ancho chile powder and hot sauce. I scored some handmade tortillas at Fred Meyer, and found cotija cheese at a little market somewhere in SE (hard to find Mexican [...]
