Awkward. Not only did I not make a new dish in December, despite professing that I would work some into the rotation, but I also didn’t take any pictures of the food I did make, other than this ciabatta that bubbled up nicely for some mortadella sandwiches we had. Maybe this month will be the…

As I’m looking at what we ate in November, I’m realizing that I did not make a single dinner that I had not made before. Something to think about for December, though we’re now 12 days into it and the year is clearly getting away from me. On the plus side, I made challah for…

The month of October got away from me! Usually I have a post a week queued up, and I work on this recipe roundup post throughout the month as I’m making the meal plan each week or executing some of the dishes and want to jot my thoughts down on them. But here it is,…

Lots of new recipes this month! The cover photo here is from when I substituted poblanos I grew for the jalapeños I usually use in this pepper/cheddar sourdough recipe. Both my husband and I ended up liking the poblanos better than the jalapeños, as they had a deeper, richer flavor than the more bright and…

I was on a roll this month! We revisited several recipes, but most of them have featured on this post during recent prior months, so I’ll skip them here. I went on a flurry of baking again, with great results – maybe relatedly, my weight is up since last month, so I will be curtailing…

New Recipes Ligurian braised rabbit – Okay, I’ll admit, I made this with chicken, both because I didn’t want to try to source rabbit and also because coming back from vacation and making my pickier youngest child eat rabbit seemed like a bad idea. This is a dish we ate in Genoa, at a restaurant…

New Greek pasta salad – My husband loves pasta salads. I, on the other hand, do not, and apparently have been subtly resisting any meal plan suggestions that veered into that territory. I must have been oddly receptive this month, as I, myself, suggested this recipe, after seeing it on Budget Bytes. With the chicken…

Lots of new recipes this month, some hits, and some misses. I’ve been getting the itch to do some more baking beyond my weekly (usually multiple times a week) sourdough, so I’ll have to make more of an effort to find some new baking recipes as well. New Shrimp and grits – I’ve made shrimp…

Not the most inspired month, I’ll admit. We did lots of the same repeats that I’ve already shared, plus some that don’t actually have an online recipe. Someday I’ll type out some of those, but not this month. Still, I tried to make sure to try a few new recipes along the way. New Recipes…

New Recipes Zucchini pasta – We couldn’t find basil for this recipe, and thus it was kind of a bust. Not the worst thing to eat, but nobody particularly loved it. I’m keeping it around for summer, when I’ll be growing both basil and zucchini. Mongolian beef ramen noodles – I have a bad habit…
