Spinach Baked Ziti

As I mentioned on Sunday, I spent last Saturday cooking up some meals to freeze in advance before our Baby Boy arrives.  First I made two homemade frozen pizzas.  And then I also made two pans of spinach-baked ziti.  A big thank you to Ginnette who commented last Friday that I needed to check out the… Continue reading Spinach Baked Ziti

On most Saturday nights Benzo and I go to a church group at 5:30pm.  It usually lasts about an hour and a half, but then we always end up standing around chatting for another 20-30 minutes.  Sometimes we get there at 4:30 to help set up or if Benzo is playing in the band (he's a… Continue reading Crockpot Corn Chowder

Well that past two days have been a flurry of spreadsheets for me.  I ended up not having to work last weekend, which was great, but I still had work looming over my head.  Because I knew that whatever I didn't do over the weekend was going to be waiting for me on Monday.  Not… Continue reading Crockpot Sweet Potato Veggie Chili

Vegetarian “Chicken” & Noodles

Amy2 Comments

This blog title might seem a little weird.  But I made a vegetarian version of a recipe from my childhood - chicken and noodles.  I just can't call it seitan and noodles.  Doesn't seem right. Anyway this is the dish that went along with my homemade mashed potatoes.  I meant to post this yesterday but… Continue reading Vegetarian “Chicken” & Noodles

Hi. Long time no blog, eh? I have a perfectly good reason for not blogging lately, or very often in the past few months in fact.  I am hoping to explain that reason later this week! But last night I made the most delicious "un-chicken" noodle soup I have ever tasted.  And now I am… Continue reading Un-Chicken Noodle Soup

A Bargain Leads to Comfort Food

Last week Benzo and I stopped into our favorite used book store while we were out and about.  We like to stop by about once a week or so to see if there's anything new.  Used book stores are great because the stock turns over quickly so there are always new books on the shelves. … Continue reading A Bargain Leads to Comfort Food

Fall Food

AmyLeave a comment

I was catching up on some blog reading in my Google Reader today when I came across the post for Mandarin & Maple Spiced Quinoa with Cranberries, Apricots and Almonds on Oh She Glows.  The recipe really caught my eye because of the wonderful fall flavors and because it seemed really simple. I was so… Continue reading Fall Food
