Clean Out the Pantry Week
Well, we did it. We managed to get through a busy week creating meals from what we had on hand. This is a fun game for me. I know, I know…get a life, right? Honestly, it gave me a chance to stretch my kitchen brain a little and clean out a few odds and ends…

(Not) Wordless Wednesday – CSA Lovelies
This was supposed to be a Wordless Wednesday post. But I couldn’t help myself. The CSA veggies were so lovely this week. This is my absolute favorite delivery item today. Green tomatoes! Kidzilla has been asking for fried green tomatoes, so this is perfect timing. They are cute and small, too, so she is going to…

CSA Pickup Day Dinner – Pesto Two Ways
All three of us continue to be slightly overwhelmed by the back-to-school routine. Is starting school always this hard? I’ve started back a week earlier than usual. Definitely not enjoying that part, particularly with last week’s temps and humidity. The weather has shifted, though, and I think that will make a huge difference. Kidzilla’s Kindergarten orientation…

Soup of the Week – Trifecta Edition
I skipped Soup of the Week last week because we were on the run. We took Kidzilla to her first major amusement park one day and the next, we were just plain old exhausted. I have to report that Kidzilla has clearly inherited her Fab Dad’s daredevil streak and wanted to go on some crazy big…

The Ten Best Meals of Our Marriage
As difficult as this is to narrow down to a mere ten, I was intrigued enough by Stasha’s Monday Listicles topic to enlist the help of the Fab Hub to help me try. This family loves good food and we have had many good meals. But if we had to pick ten of the best…

Ten Things to Smile About
I felt like I was kind of laming out by picking a ten things to smile about list for my Mama Kat post. But you know what? It’s a really good idea to stop and think about the things in life that we have to smile about, especially when passing through a period where it…

Soup of the Week – Creamy Kohlrabi Carrot Edition
What do you do when you have three CSA kohlrabies left in the crisper drawer that need to find a better purpose in life? Make soup! I intended to make these amazing kohlrabi crostini again, but just haven’t yet. It will happen. But now that I know everyone in the house will eat kohlrabi, I can…

Friday Favorites – Frozen Pops Edition
It all started with the pink birthday soup. Kidzilla had a pink birthday party (again) this summer. One of the items she selected for her menu was a very pink chilled berry soup. I included it in the Summer Squash/Berry Bonus Soup of the Week post not too long ago. Our guests loved the soup.…

Soup of the Week – Creamy Basil Zucchini Edition
Saturday. That means it’s time for Soup of the Week! I have another really simple summer vegetable soup for you this time. Much like the summer squash soup, this one is fast and easy and helps take care of the copious amounts of zucchini you may have in your possession. Or basil. This one was…

Life Lessons in the CSA Box
I can’t believe I ate okra. Okra. You know that weird green slimy stuff that goes in gumbo? Yeah. I ate it. And I liked it. Here it is hanging out with the rest of this week’s goodies – that weird looking purplish-red stuff near the top. Apparently okra comes in more than one color.…
