and zucchini bread for dessert.

MMMM.

Do you have a recipe to share?

Artichoke Caviar

1 1 pound can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1/4 c. crumbled feta cheese
1 2oz. jar chopped pimientos, drained
2 T. chopped onion
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 T. lemon juice
2 t. olive oil
1 t. dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste.

Combine all ingredients in a food processor and process until finely chopped. Chill. Serve cold with pita bread, or crackers.

for sharing the recipe. I will try this one.

if you have unexpected guests .

OK, more like I'm cleaning out the fridge and starting anew. Leftover steak, cuke/tomato/sweet onion salad, leftover broccoli, and if I feel ambitious, seasoned oven-baked potato wedges.

Corn on the cob.

It was snowing today. Nothing stuck to the ground, but wtf and ick and brrrr. So, it was a soup day (actually it was cold yesterday too, so it was a soup day then too - I made herbed carrot soup with garden carrots - yum!)

i'm definitely putting something in the crock pot before i go to work.

Had a caprese with burrata and sandwich fixings with cold chicken, cheese and fresh bread. The rest of the melon rounded things out.

Yum!

I've never tasted it. My newspaper had a recipe recently for grilling cherry toms ON THE VINE and making a bruschetta with burrata and basil.

It is indescribably delicious. You have to look around but if you can find someone who makes it, you will be one very, very happy person.

I made the braised potatoes in this recipe: http://www.democraticunderground.com/115745147

What a delicious dish! My go-to comfort food from now on instead of baked potato. Thanks, grasswire for posting this recipe.

Stew beef, beef broth, carrots, potatoes, green beans.

If it were up to me, I'd add mushrooms, onions, and garlic, but the housemate doesn't care for those.

I should have had the sense to cook up a pan of carmelized onions and keep them in the fridge to add whenever I cooked a dish that needed such. Raisins can sometimes be added separately, but in things like quick breads, muffins, I found myself making a recipe that would have been perfect with them, and omitting them to keep harmony in the family.
