  • Family Dinner Plan: The anti-Valentine’s Day Menu

    By Kitchen Gadget Girl | Published: February 12, 2012
    Citrus-3

    You know what – when Valentine’s Day falls mid-week, it is a huge pain the butt. Pretty much guarantees that there will be no special dinner, the best we can hope for is a card (which requires me to find the time to purchase said card and hope it comes with a cute message inside [...]

    Family Dinner Plan: Still with the freezer

    I went on a field trip to San Anselmo with Marsha yesterday to check out rockflowerpaper. They were having their annual warehouse sale and we stocked up on cute totes, gift bags, kitchen towels, espadrilles and hand crafted trays. Highly recommend a visit if you can get up there. Our freezer is still a mess. [...]

    Family Dinner Plan: Mariquita Mystery Box

    By Kitchen Gadget Girl | Published: January 29, 2012
    Spigariello-1

    During the winter, when we don’t have our regular weekly CSA boxes, Mariquita Farms has a Mystery Box program to pick up the slack. Sort of like a CSA, but way more casual, interested folks signup for a box, delivered to a local spot, filled with whatever is ripe that week. In the middle of [...]

    Family Dinner Plan: Back to basics and four squares

    Brussel_sprouts-1

    Very very soon, all of you who work (in or outside the home) will be invited by to sling wet noodles at my face. I feel as though I have been dutifully posting menus (each week since 2009), with the idea that they were somehow helpful to working moms who did not have time to cook. What [...]

    Family DInner Plan: Short week and slow cooker plans

    By Kitchen Gadget Girl | Published: January 16, 2012
    Canning jars

    With a short week, soccer starting (both Spring and Indoor), a science fair project or two, and a volunteer recognition dinner, the week’s menu needs to be easy and designed with planned over (leftovers) in mind. We arrived at the airport tonight after a weekend away, and stopped by Whole Foods on the way home, [...]

    Family Dinner Plan: Happy New Year!

    By Kitchen Gadget Girl | Published: January 8, 2012
    Pain_depices-8

    Wake up! Time to get started. We are already 8 days into the New Year and I feel behind. Well, not really behind, but there are definitely opportunities to take advantage of. Did you make any resolutions this year? The article in the NY Times this morning suggested that we have space for one resolution, [...]

    Family Dinner Plan: Making a list, checking it thrice

    Two interesting features I would like to highlight on the new and improved Kitchen Gadget Girl site (eventually I will move over to the Food in the Kitchen name, but I hate to rush into new things). First off, did you know you can print any of the recipes on Kitchen Gadget Girl? That’s right! [...]

    Family Dinner Plan: Slow cooker, pressure cooker and leftovers

    By Kitchen Gadget Girl | Published: December 11, 2011
    Pressure_Cooker-6

    Ah, the joy of late fall/early winter dinners. Slow cookers and pressure cookers become my BFFs, for their ability to transform everyday food stuffs into delightful soups and stews perfectly suited to cold weather and busy schedules. Last week’s menu, particularly the Slow Cooker Beef Barley Soup, was great. The Farro with Butternut squash made [...]

    Family Dinner Plan: Soups, cookies and lasagna

    Coke_Farm_Lettuce-10

    Apologies for those of you totally into the NaBloPoMo and eagerly awaiting my last few posts. I sort of fell apart this week (even with the lame-o editorial calendar I put together). The good news is that I have gone back to work (part-time, don’t panic); the bad news is I have less time to [...]

    Family Dinner Plan: Busy holiday week

    By Kitchen Gadget Girl | Published: November 27, 2011
    Farmers_Mkt_Fall-5

    Our first week without a box from Mariquita Farms and it is probably a good thing. We have a busy post-holiday week ahead and I think we may end up eating out more than in. Last week’s menu turned out well – the Lime-Cilantro Sweet Potatoes were excellent, and while the crab feed lacked crab [...]

    Family Dinner Plan: Leftovers and last box

    By Kitchen Gadget Girl | Published: November 20, 2011
    Pan_di_Zucchero_20111118_006

      From a menu planning standpoint, last week was a disaster. The menu plan was good, but our schedule was all wonky, and we ended up abandoning the entire plan by Tuesday night. We still ate well and at this point in the season, many of the vegetables in our box from Mariquita have good [...]

    Family Dinner Plan: Kohlrabi is back

    By Kitchen Gadget Girl | Published: November 13, 2011
    Apples_20111110_006

    Remember I wrote about kohlrabi back in April? Mariquita Farms stuck some in our spring box and it was a new vegetable for us, one that we enjoyed quite a bit. Jonathan came in May to cook for a party at our house, and demonstrated a quick way to cook kohlrabi (or tokyo turnips): Seared [...]
