a bad blogger indeed... instead of trying to play catch up... i did consider back tracking and blogging about each thing over a series of days. i would probably fail at that too...
i decided to show you instead this is what i have been up to, although this is a collection of camera and camera phone, but it doesn't matter as my photography skills are awful anyways... you think with all the blogs i follow and all the pictures i see, i would have learned something...
easter dinner - steamed mussels in a white wine sauce with rosemary garlic crusty bread
my coworker gave me dates, i never had dates, why are they always dried? does anyone eat them fresh?
if you know me, i'm a fan of ina garten and have watched all the episodes many times and decided to put these dates to good use!
ina garten's date nut spice bread
my first csa box with zucchini... an announcement of spring in my book
zucchini pancakes adapted from david tanis' book heart of an artichoke
chicken piccata over angel hair - i haven't made chicken piccata in 6 years.. i learned to make chicken piccata for an ex-boyfriend since it was his favorite dish... and it fell out of my rotation along with him and while its good riddance to the boy, this recipe is back
beautiful baby lettuce from my csa box
panko crusted chicken with a sesame dressing
short ribs i picked up from my meat csa (i did join a meat csa!)
my new toy, the one i have wanted since 2007, and i love it!
my first try at homemade pasta, this is supposed to be tagliatelle...
braised short ribs over homemade tagliatelle & maple roasted sweet potatoes
my recipe for coconut cupcakes - cupcakes are an adapted version of ina garten's recipe and frosting is my own rendition of cream cheese frosting as most recipes are way too sweet for my taste or call for too much butter
second try at pasta... i think i was born to make ravioli
butternut squash ravioli in a brown butter sauce - one word... AMAZING
asparagus and sweet pepper goat cheese frittata
best thing about frittatas, i get to use up whatever is in my fridge
grapefruit and avocado salad over beautiful baby lettuce - i even skinned the grapefruit which is not easy.. i ended up eating more grapefruit than putting in my salad... the creaminess of the avocado and the tart of the grapefruit was a wonderful combination
rigatoni with ground lamb ragu & mint
zucchini bread... may i add i'm a bit tired of zucchini coming in my csa box every week for 5 weeks... and guess what's coming tomorrow? zucchini!
