Roasted Sweet Potato and Cauliflower Quesadilla

Posted on January 8, 2014February 25, 2018 by Kasha

Quesadilla, should that be in the Geography Bee? Thomas said he does NOT want to participate in the Geography Bee at school tomorrow. They took a preliminary test and he got 30 out of 35 correct, however... he only knew ONE of those answers for sure. The rest were guesses. One that he guessed correctly? Where is the Klondike? He guessed Alaska. Why? Because Klondike bars are ice cold and so is Alaska. That's using the old noggin, I'd say! I don't know about you, but I am not one of those people who writes out the meal plan for...Read More

Jumping on the Bandwagon

Posted on February 1, 2013February 25, 2018 by Kasha

I don't care about the Super Bowl. I don't know which teams are playing. In fact, I will not even watch it until the last quarter, and that is only if my kid turns it on. But I concede. The Super Bowl is as good a reason as any to have a bunch of friends over for food and fun. However (and I will forever hear Marissa Tomei in My Cousin Vinny, "howev-uh, in 19-sixty-faw the correct ignition timing would be faw degrees be-faw top dead cent-uh."), Super Bowl snacks should not be limited to wings, sliders and nachos. Don't...Read More

I’m Seeing RED!

Posted on August 9, 2012February 25, 2018 by Kasha

And yellow and pink and green zebra-striped and black-ish and purple and golden-pink and.... that brings me to tomatoes and pasta Caprese. It's about damn time. General consensus is lots of green tomatoes around in people's gardens, but none are turning red. Well, this week, they started turning. I picked up a block of fresh mozzarella at the market the other day and, like a good FarmGirl, I have basil growing in a planter on my deck. This bounty, along with the colorful and perfectly ripe tomatoes I picked, made the most amazing dinner. Pasta Caprese is the easiest thing...Read More

National Tater Tot Day and Gorgonzola Cheese Sauce

Posted on February 6, 2012February 25, 2018 by Kasha

Happiness is Gorgonzola cheese sauce atop crispy tater-tots! Every day when The Boy comes home from school I go through the contents of his backpack and homework folder. He has some kind of reading, math and spelling homework Monday through Thursday nights. Last night, in cleaning out his folder for the upcoming week, I found a reading comprehension handout about a type of dog that does not bark. The question that required a written answer (as opposed to multiple choice) was "Would you like to have a dog that did not bark? Why or why not?" If there was ever...Read More

Classic Kid Lunch with a Twist

Posted on March 3, 2011February 25, 2018 by chris

Last week was President's Week. If you have kids, you know that's the vacation week in between Winter Break and Spring Break. Does anyone else remember having only Monday and Tuesday off? Or even Friday and Monday? I guess I really am turning into an Old Fart because I don't see the point of an entire week. Personally, I celebrate Presidents Washington and Lincoln every time I spend 6 bucks. I'm not all that peeved, honestly. My schedule is very flexible right now since our markets are finished and it's just clean up and pre-season preparation going on right now. But I feel for those parents...Read More
