Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We sure did!!! Lots of activity at my mom’s house. We had great food, great wine & great company as usual.
Fried Egg with Mushrooms & Spinach
Today I got my first produce CSA delivery from Planet Organics! So far, I am happy with the experience although my bill is not what it should have been…Must clear that up!
Weekend Waffles with Joy!
Quick! There’s still time!!! Make some batter tonight!
Make some weekend waffles with maple peppered bacon!! DO IT!!!
I got the recipe from of Joy the Baker!
Sweet Potato & Chipotle Soup
For tonight’s dinner, I made Sweet Potato & Chipotle Soup from the current issue of Everyday Food.
I am definitely adding this one to the Soup Rotation!
The recipe is labeled-“Smooth & Creamy with a Dash of Spice.”
They aren’t kidding! You would never guess that there isn’t cream in this soup. It’s velvety and thick! Definitely coats the back of a spoon.
The Perfect Fried Egg
Today I roasted some red peppers, zucchini & onions in the oven. I grilled a slab of herb foccacia with olive oil on our indoor grill pan….I fried the egg and the rest was history.
Thanksgiving Roundup!!!
So I had a little request from lovely Alex of Strawberry Lemonade to do a little roundup of my Thanksgiving pasts/ideas. My mom always hosts Thanksgiving, so most of the weight of the day is on her. She rocks. She’s traditional. She makes a wonderful spread!
For our Thanksgiving, I bring a sweet potato dish topped with pecans & a HUGE batch creamed spinach to the party. I’ve never blogged the recipes to either one (which kinda shocks me!) Maybe I should….
The past few years I’ve made a fluffy pumpkin tiramisu for dessert, but it usually never gets finished cuz everyone in my family stuffs themselves all day long and never saves room for dessert! I hate that! It tastes good, but it has a shelf life!
If you are looking for some Thanksgiving ideas, I’ve compiled a few!
If you are on appetizer duty,
Make a Sundried Tomato Goat Cheese Log!
Savory Chicken Pocket Pies
Let me begin by telling you how IN LOVE I am with this book!
Mad Hungry: Feeding Men & Boys by Lucinda Scala Quinn (The Executive Food Director for Martha Stewart Living) It’s beautifully written and OMG the inside is a graph designer’s dream. It’s like Blueprint magazine made a cookbook filled with the tastiest looking man food!
I started to mark the recipes I wanted to make with tags and then I had to stop because I found myself marking EVERY SINGLE PAGE.
