🍴: Mon – we got home from PA last week to a leaking kitchen faucet (luckily only when turned on; it wasn’t running for three days) and an oven igniter that finally decided to crap all the way out. With him having rehearsal and me not being called for rehearsal, but having dance class, he…
-
🍴: Mon – rehearsal after dance class = forgettable leftover for a late dinner Tues – Arby’s in the car on the way to PA Wed – Davis family dinner, traditional Thanksgiving style. I did not feel like coming up with something the kids would eat, so decided on this salad to use up sweet…
-
🍴: Mon – Hampton had to be at auditions before I got home from dance class, so, as per usual when cooking solo, I attempted to recreate my favorite seafood antipasti from a restaurant that no longer exists in D.C. I was so ready to eat I had my arugula salad while cooking and it…
-
🍴: Mon – Hampton went to his first WFU women’s bball game and was to get home as I did after ballet, so we planned a super easy, pad Thai-inspired dinner using leftover peanut sauce from last week mixed with a leftover lemony vinaigrette, extra pre-cooked chicken bought for the torte from last Friday’s party,…
-
🍴: Mon – grilled calamari and pan-roasted potatoes with leftover miso-pistachio romesco, salad Tues – grilled chicken thighs with roasted sweet potatoes and lemony green beans. This may be my new favorite way to deal with the small potatoes we get from TJ’s. Wed – NY strip, roasted butternut squash with salsa macha and mimolette…
-
🍴: Mon – post-ballet Hampton-made Frenchish dips with TJ’s new shaved lamb shoulder, tots, and arugula Tues – garlic butter chicken and potatoes with zucchini Wed – bavette with an apple/beet salad à la Hampton because he found extra already roasted beets I had forgotten about Thurs – lemongrass-braised chicken with lime rice and sauteed…

Another two weeks another “where the heck did those two weeks go?”. It’s been a bit of a blur as I dealt with some back and stomach issues. You know, after I tweaked my knee and got the cold from heck not too long ago. I’m starting to believe I’m related to the biblical Samson…
-
🍴: Mon – We had beet tops, so planned a meal around a borani. Rack of lamb with all the Mediterranean/SWANA spices, pomegranate molasses-glazed carrots, and sauteed zucchini. Tues – sticky chicken thighs with Chinese sausage/mushroom/red bell pepper rice as inspired by Woks of Life, but minus the work of deboning chicken. Wed – Hampton…

Where are we? When are we?? For over a week, I have been battling the cold from H-E-🏒-🏒. The home COVID test I took was negative and the doctor I saw a few days in didn’t seem to think I needed another but just needed to let the mystery virus run its course. Food has…
-
🍴: Mon – turkey meatball subs with arugula salad. I just did what the nonnas told me, and I hope they share the same inspo again, because Hampton loved them. I did use up a pack of mozzarella pearls he had bought for lunch and stuffed them inside and there was pizza sauce for the…
