Spinach and Cheese Ravioli

So, we've been into the homemade pasta lately ... but we didn't have nearly the time to deal with that this evening. However, in these Spinach and Cheese Ravioli , wonton wrappers came to the rescue and helped speed things along! While you don't get quite the same result as if you were to use pasta dough, Jeff and I have found them to be easy to work with and have been pretty satisfied with the results when we've used them in the past ! With the help of our food processor, the filli

Meal Planning Monday

Oh, am I glad I planned a month's worth of meals last week ! Monday night after our fabulously pre -planned dinner*, I had to rush my husband to the ER and then he spent several days in the hospital. He's home now, and out of pain, but we'll find out tomorrow if he's having surgery. In the midst of chaos, there is food in the house, a meal plan on the dry erase board, and some semblance of calm (which I really need).

One cup of flour and one egg, kneaded together and run through the pasta machine a gazillion times, along with one sprig of basil from the herb garden and tomato sauce:

Ginger Beef Stir-Fry…

For our weekly recap, I think our favorites this time were that Potato Pizza with Fresh Rosemary, Thyme and Mozzarella , those crazy good Chocolate Ginger Marble Cakes and we have to include the Homemade Pasta with Sizzled Sage because it is hard to beat fresh pasta! Gus tends to be pretty lazy on the weekends and spends most of his time here... On these stairs, he gets a few good hours of solid warm sunlight that he loves to soak up. Some days, like this morning, not even a pup

Why I Love Hawaiian Mac Salad

Sunday, August 30th, 2009 | Food and NutritionI absolutely love making and eating delicious Hawaiian Macaroni Salad.
