Katy:  What vegetable should we have with dinner tonight?

Joel:  Well the sloppy joe’s have pickles in them.

a dinner experiment

i thought it passed….joel – not so much (he ended up with ice cream for dinner) 

 

chopped red potatoes, beets, acorn squash, onions, and carrots.  tossed in an olive oil, rosemary, garlic and lemon juice mixture.  roast for 30-40 minutes at 400 degrees.  DELICIOUS.

FRESH BREAD

It doesn’t get much easier, or fresher, than this:

I made this recipe (cut in half) last night and was surprisingly impressed with how simple it was and how good it turned out.  This recipe only took about 10 minutes of actual work, and the kneading part was really easy because I just used the kneading hook on my Kitchen Aide.  I think I need to tweak the recipe a bit (I used EVOO instead of normal olive oil, and the taste was definitely a little too strong, especially for a breakfast bread), but otherwise, it was PERFECT!

Oh yeah, notice the gorgeous plate my sister got me for Christmas??? Thanks Christy!

Product Review

We are at the airport on our way back from a wonderful Idaho Christmas (more on that in a later post), but before we board our plane, I just wanted to mention a fun product review I get to do for  www.cookware.com sometime in the next week for so.  They have some really fun products, including the fun one I’ll get to play with and some Rachel Ray Cookware that looks like it would be fun too!

Now just because blog posts are more fun with pictures….here is an adorable picture of my new little cousin in an outfit her dad wore 30 years ago!!!
