For Jonathan’s birthday, he asked me to cook up a new recipe for dinner (we had already gone out to eat the previous two evenings and we like to keep things balanced). I offered up a selection from the various cookbooks and magazines we’ve got around the house and this is what he selected. (From [...]

Birthday Dinner
October 29, 2008The brownie recipe
October 22, 2008I thought about making these brownies again and taking a photo because they really didn’t last long at our house, but I think you all just need to try them in your own home. Here you go, from Martha Stewart: Chocolate Ginger Brownies Ingredients: 1 stick unsalted butter, plus more for the baking dish 3 [...]
Salmon and Shredded Beet Salad with Arugula
August 6, 2008Kelly made this salad for us a few days ago and it was DELICIOUS! The recipe is from Real Simple but doesn’t appear to be on their website. No matter; here’s what’s in it: Poached salmon Arugula Shredded beets (we used a food processor) A dressing made of horseradish, sour cream, and dill That’s about [...]
New Recipe!
June 22, 2008One of the new recipes I found was for Black Bean Enchilada Bake (thanks Sarah!) It was pretty good if I do say so myself, but really, you don’t need much of a recipe for this one. Play around [...]
Morning Glory Muffins
May 26, 2008These are one of my favorite baked goodies that Kelly makes–I love the way they smell when they’re cooking and they’re my favorite breakfast if there are any in the house in the morning.

Our First Dinner Party

Here you go: Kelly selected Pork Tenderloin with Roasted Apples and Onions as the evening’s main course. Here are the beginnings of the preparation: freshly cut [...]
The Veggie Cream Cheese Adventure
March 23, 2008We really enjoy vegetable cream cheese (the sort sold next to the regular soft cream cheese at a suspiciously identical price) as a spread on our morning bagels. However, we don’t like paying extra for the excessive pacakaging or the fact that we can’t control what veggies go into it. So, on Saturday evening, we [...]
Junk Pizza
March 10, 2008Sometimes, Jonathan and I return home from work and get working in the kitchen and create a culinary masterpiece. Sometimes, we come home and I make whatever I can think of from the fridge. I know, it’s like Jonathan’s a betting man, eating like that. Tonight we are having junk pizza-we had some cooked chicken [...]
