Creamy Winter Squash Soup and Fancy Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
A few weeks ago we received this strange, bulbous, warty squash from our CSA. We had no idea what it was. After some research we discovered that it was a Hubbard squash. I read that their flesh tends to be very moist and they they need to be cooked longer but that they are perfect [...]

Hearty Harvest Hash & Cheesy Corn Muffins with Fresh Cayenne Peppers
It is beautiful outside right now here in Nashville. It’s sunny, 70º and out my window I can see the leaves delicately floating toward the ground. With Fall in full swing here, I’ve been wanting a good hearty breakfast. Taking full advantage of our new Lodge cast-iron cookware, Megan and I tag-teamed in the kitchen [...]

Savory Butternut Squash and Potato Tart with Bacon and Herb Cream Sauce
First things first: it’s been a while. Too long. Between celebratory festivities and an enormous project at work, I’ve been slammed. Unfortunately, that has resulted in less time for the full-on cooking and documenting of said full-onness. I promise I’ll try to do better, but I make no promises. And now on to our irregularly [...]
Birthdays, Cupcakes and BACON!!!
So, I’ve got a birthday coming up this week. Apparently it’s a big one, as Tuesday is my last day of youth. At the stroke of midnight early Wednesday morn, I will enter my 30th year. Am I worried about it or stressed out about becoming old? No. Not really. Whether it’s 30, 40, 50, [...]

Zucchini Rollatini with Roasted Butternut Squash Cream Sauce
I’ve read many a blog post recently about having way too much of various items from people’s CSAs. For some, it’s zucchini. For others, yellow squash. For us, it’s been eggplant. Now, I’ve never been a huge fan of eggplant up until recently, but we have received so much of it over the past 2 [...]

An Even Better BLT and More Sunday Wine Fun
So last time I made a BLT, it was pretty freaking awesome and that was before the height of tomato season. Today I found a decent local Yellow Brandywine tomato at our Kroger of all places and decided I wanted a BLT. But, this time I took it to the next level: Frying. I enjoy [...]

A Sunday of Preparation: Wine & Pasta Sauce
Sundays in our house are often a day of rest and preparation. This Sunday was no different. We had a bunch of tomatoes from the CSA that we needed to use so we decided on making some roasted vegetable pasta sauce. It’s really easy, but takes a while so its perfectly suited to Sundays. I [...]
