Yay for Family Time, too! Charred Green Beans
Last week also saw my spouse and I visiting my parents. I was raised on a relatively mellow-tasting, healthy diet, similar to what I helped my mama make below. Lots of steamed stuff, and delicious tofu. The next night, I made dinner in honor of my father’s birthday. Fell a little short on supplies cooking…

Accordion Potatoes
Saw this recipe via the latest blog I’ve been persistently sucked into perusing, Brit + Co. which led me to A Beautiful Mess’ Accordion Potatoes. I only had 3 large yukon potatoes, so scaled it down thus: 3 large yukon gold potatoes, washed and dried. 1/4 cup of butter 1 1/2 tsp olive oil 1…

Method Break: Poached Egg by Microwave
In case you’ve not heard, you can poach an egg in the microwave! It took me a few tries but I finally got it about right for my particular microwave. In vintage (a.k.a. janky) microwave: 1. Add 1/2 c water to a small bowl, carefully crack egg in, cover loosely. 2. Heat 50 seconds at…

Meatless Moping: Chickpeas with Chard & Pan-Roasted Tomatoes
I like making meals my spouse isn’t a big fan of when he’s out of town, which usually means no meat, and more carbs.

Spaghetti Squash 2 Ways
There are some days when I miss spaghetti, as my household doesn’t eat much pasta at home any more (well, even if I made it, the other half would likely abstain). If it happens to be a chilly Fall day when I’m plotting a meal to make, my mind goes to spaghetti squash. I was…

Home-made Tofu
(November Week 2 Trial) Through the magic of the Internets (i.e. user manuals online) I know that my fancy Sanyo 5-cup rice cooker (a long ago wedding registry gift) can also steam food, make porridge, work like a slow cooker, do all of these things at a set time in the future, and, in theory,…

Potato & Leek Gratin
(Vet’s Day bonus entry) Monday was one of those bonus days in life, with a little extra time for good living. Thanks, US Holiday schedule and indescribable sacrifice of military service members. A friend of mine convinced me it would be a good idea to bike to brunch on the south end of Lake Union,…
