Thanksgiving, Family and Food. And a Recipe!
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I know we did, but we almost didn’t. A few weeks ago I came down with the swine flu which then turned into pleurisy. For more than the last two weeks I have been in bed. I didn’t really leave the bed or couch unless i needed to [...]

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, [...]
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 [...]
Smoked Turkey BLT with Fresh Cayenne Chipotle Mayo
While watering our herbs and cayenne pepper plant this afternoon I noticed that we have several peppers that have finally ripened. We’ve been using them green for a few months, but now, they are a brilliant red. I wanted to do something with one of them today and I’ve been craving a good BLT lately.
