I’ll begin today by explaining that we’ve been eating a lot of the Same Old, Same Old for dinner around here lately. From what I can figure, any and all brain power that was formerly used for coming up with something new and creative for dinner (or the blog) seems to have been temporarily diverted … Read more
I get these “Your Pregnancy This Week” emails that list a myriad of facts and tidbits about the wee babe growing inside my uterus, along with any other timely pregnancy notes. You know, like “you’re probably busting out of your bra by now” or “your baby is the size of a tarantula”. Stuff like that. … Read more
Let’s say you laid down on the couch this afternoon, kids busy and frolicking to and fro, and you decide to close your eyes for “just a minute”. Then let’s say you woke up some unknown amount of time later, living room dark, kids off entertaining themselves some place else, and suddenly you realize you’ve … Read more
It was a dark and stormy night. Actually, it was just a cold and gloomy Friday morning. And I was in the mood to cook. I was also in the mood to shake things up! I went googling my way around the world wide web in search of something outlandish to do with a bag … Read more
It’s-Not-Thanksgiving-Yet Eggplant Parmesan
November 22nd, 2011 | Posted by in Dinner Time - (6 Comments)For dinner tonight, there was one goal: Make something completely the opposite of Thanksgiving.

I do know that when I was shopping for T Day goodies … Read more
Enchiladas for dinner tonight! And they. were. awesome. But guess what’s inside of them? Just guess! Never mind, you won’t be able to guess. In fact, you won’t even believe me when I tell you. OK fine, I’ll tell you. In a minute. First, let’s start with these little buggers. They played a big part … Read more
Today, I had a plan. That plan was to make dinner early, so that when we got home from an outing with friends late this afternoon, dinner would be mostly ready. All that would be left to do would be to make some guac to top it all off. And that plan worked. For the … Read more
Have you ever eaten Seitan? Pronounced “sey-tan”, as in “say, you look tan.” Seitan. I stopped eating meat in early 2007, and even though it’s a “meatless meal” substitute, it wasn’t until this year that I’d ever tried the stuff. My first time was at a veg friendly restaurant, and it was one of the … Read more
A fast and color coordinated black bean burger and orange fries for dinner tonight! Too bad my black burger was obscured by a piece of provolone cheese. The black and orange effect was lost. Good thing veggie burger love knows no color. And a letter: Dear Frozen Sweet Potato Fries from a Bag, I didn’t … Read more
In preparation for running from zombies tomorrow, we hit up the only logical place for dinner tonight. Actually, in preparation for running from zombies tomorrow, first I dropped the girls off with Aunt Ellen, then I picked up The Man and we hit the bar. The veggie bar at Wegmans. If I hope to ditch any … Read more
