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

I made two pans of to-be-baked ziti and two homemade pizzas. I have about half of the ingredients ready for black bean burritos so hopefully this afternoon… Continue reading Homemade Frozen Pizzas

Crockpot Corn Chowder
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

Vegetarian “Chicken” & Noodles
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

Un-Chicken Noodle Soup
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
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
