Why, hello! Welcome back to me from not-on-earth’s-face. Well, another side of it, anyway. We had a lovely trip to Chicago for a dear friend’s wedding and to Utah to spend lots of time with Grandma & Grandpa (and eat … Read More
Here’s a little post I did over on Janssen‘s blog about some of my favorite things to do in Philadelphia! (Spoiler: it mostly revolves around food.)
Until her party this weekend, it didn’t quite seem true that my baby is ONE. But now she is! Because those 48 hours and cake made all the difference. The day of her birthday was so so gorgeous out. We … Read More
Even with meal planning, there are days when I just get behind or failed to plan ahead or am just plain feeling lazy. This is the meal that I make on those days. It’s quick (30 minutes to the table), … Read More
It will probably shock you to hear that I’m not the biggest muffin fan in the world. Usually they’re too sweet, too bready, too sticky, too…something. Evidently I am pickier than I thought. But these MUFFINS. Gracious. A few weeks … Read More
Early this year, some mom friends and I decided to start a little joy school, or a coop toddler preschool class, once a week. We all had kids of similar ages, and we planned to each teach one week a … Read More
As I don’t yet have any kids in real school, anytime someone laments that summer is over, I just want to grab them and say, “It’s NOT OVER! We have three more weeks! Don’t steal my summer!!” Ahem. It’s possible … Read More
I love panzanellas for being so fresh, versatile, and delicious. However, with just white bread, tomatoes, and cucumber, I’m usually hungry a couple of hours later. So I went with my staple – some black beans – to add some … Read More
Much as it saddens me to admit, K’s first birthday is right around the corner. First birthdays are big in Indian tradition, so I’ve been thinking of doing a little party for her. She is super social, so I think … Read More
Ah, yes, the coconut oil obsession continues. I made this scrub as a quick DIY addition to some Christmas gifts last year and have been using it regularly myself ever since. It’s the perfect thing as we start to … Read More
Ohhh, August tomato sickness strikes again. We’ve gone through pounds upon pounds of tomatoes in the last few weeks, and I’m still not over it. Roasted tomatoes in everything, including this delicious strata. We’ve made this a million times – … Read More
We made these popsicles last summer and loved them. But popsicles are often messier than I’d prefer at the dinner table (especially with a few snail-pace eaters over here, AHEM, N), so I thought I’d whirl it into a frozen … Read More
But! In the meantime. It’s finally feeling like fall here now and that means that it’s all soup and potatoes over here. Here are a few fun and slightly nontraditional ways of cooking up your baked potatoes for the upcoming season!
1 – Baked Sweet Potatoes Stuffed with Feta, Olives and Sundried Tomatoes: These are a few of my favorite things.
2 – Idaho Sunrise: A classic…one that I’ve actually never had. But! Eggs and potatoes, what’s not to like?
3 – Roasted Grape, Goat Cheese, and Honey Sweet Potato: I mean, ridiculous. I’d happily take this for dessert.
4 – Southwestern Baked Potato: I’d omit the meat, of course, but love the rest.
5 – Samosa-Stuffed Twice Baked Potato: We made this last night for our dear guinea pigs friends, and they were nice enough provide happy reviews and to not think us totally weird. Or at least like us anyway.
6 – Quinoa Stuffed Sweet Potato: Just looks delicious.
7 – Spiced Chickpea Smothered Sweet Potato: I’m loving the stew-like consistency of this one. So warm and hearty.
Any favorite potato recipes?
