My Dad sends me stuff all the time for “my food blog”. It is cute. Sometimes I just archive the email, glancing over the content and storing it away. But today, since I would like to post today (remember NABLOPOMO), I thought I would publish the latest email from my Dad. And thus I present [...]

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 [...]

Chickens_20111126_001

The chickens are still molting, I wrote about that earlier this month. No eggs, but the girls are finally getting some of their feathers back. Oh, and the morning noises are getting louder. Hopefully the eggs will follow soon. In the meantime, I ordered a box of 5,000 mealworms to crank up the protein in [...]

Thanksgiving pies (with recipes)

Thanksgiving_20111124_014-2

My big contribution to Thanksgiving dinner is always pies – pumpkin, pecan and mince are required to get me through the door of Julie’s house, and then I usually throw in 1-2 more, wildcard pies. The creative pies, if you must. Yesterday I took the required three, plus Apple/Cranberry with French Crumble Topping, and a [...]

Couscous_salad_20111121_008

Jonathan of Eat Right at Home included this easy couscous salad in the Mariquita newsletter last week. We had it for dinner tonight, along with hummus and pita, sauteed chard and roasted beets. The most interesting part of the recipe for me was the vinegar syrup used to flavor the salad. It would be fun [...]

Family Dinner Plan: Leftovers and last box

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 [...]

P.S. Don’t forget to enter the King Arthur Giveaway! I am a voracious reader, when not cooking, eating or writing about food. Reading has always been an important part of my world – I remember when I was young, I much preferred reading the next in the Nancy Drew series (the original mind you) rather [...]

By Kitchen Gadget Girl | Published: November 18, 2011
Pumpkin_whoopie_20111119_007

A little late this week, as it is already Friday, but I wanted to make sure to honor Cookie Thursday and the tradition of baking with for my kids. Part of the delay was because I needed to roast the pumpkin before mixing the cookie batter. The other reason is that I have been so [...]

Sugarplum_Bread_recipe_20111117_001

Found this treasure in my recipe box, along with my Mom’s note and a “wow”. She had lots of recipes, so a wow is pretty special. I like that these can be made in a tiny version, 12 mini loaves. Perfect for hostess gifts during the holidays. Maybe I should check out these Bake and [...]

Editorial Calendar for NaBloPoMo

By Kitchen Gadget Girl | Published: November 15, 2011

Late last night it became clear that unless I put together a calendar of writing plans for the month, I am not going to make it through National Blog Posting Month! Much I like a do a menu plan each week, putting together an editorial calendar will allow me to focus my writing on specific [...]
