I love fall cooking! Tomato soup, grilled cheese with apples and Dijon mustard, and chips. Perfect lunch before going to unload pumpkins!
Another New Toy!
After more than 7 years of coveting a stand mixer and an anxiety attack in the kitchen store, I finally broke down and was willing to spend the money for a Kitchenaid mixer. I thought I wanted the standard classic in a lime green finish, but after some more research decided that the higher powered one would suit my needs for longer. So far, it’s made several batches of cookies, whipped cream, mashed potatoes, multiple loaves of bread, hamburger buns, and some beeswax lotion. Hooray!!!

Camping dinner #2. Beef stew and leftover biscuits. This is the meal I was most looking forward to making in the dutch oven. It lived up to my expectations!
08.23.12 Breakfast
Camping biscuits and gravy in the dutch oven! I made the dry part of the biscuit dough at home, then just added milk into the ziplock it was packed in, mushed it together and scooped it out. No dishes! (I would balk at the waste if we were eating at home, but somehow, it’s ok if we’re camping….)

First night of vacation: foil packets with Italian sausage, peppers, onions, and mushrooms. Served with egg noodles. It was raining all evening, so I was glad we didn’t really have to tend this meal too closely!
08.14.12 Dinner
The first of our city farm’s eggs! Notice the difference between the color of the store bought eggs on the left and the homegrown ones on the right. Amazing!!!
08.11.12 Dinner
Spaghetti with a quick meat sauce made with tomatoes from our garden. I never know what to do when I don’t really have enough to can, so this used up some odds and ends that were hanging out on the counter. Also, Meg ate three servings, so that’s a win!
