Food brainstorming help? Specifically, I’m getting ready to start making items for the Patreon June subscription boxes, and I realized that I’m not sure what food items will be safe to ship in heat. Especially since even Priority Mail shipping seems to sometimes be delayed a few days due to the pandemic — I’m imagining […]

I don’t really have a recipe for this, more of a process? This is a pretty standard thing I make for the family almost every week, and as people are getting a little bored with their pandemic cooking, thought this might be useful. ***** Chicken with Veggies and Rotini, maybe in a Cream Sauce, if

No real recipe — mixed greens, red and yellow beets, goat cheese, orange segments, redbud blossoms, citrus dressing. Tasty, pretty.
Kevin made creme brûlée for Kavi’s French-themed birthday, and Kavi got to try torching for the first time. She excitedly texted her friends afterwards: “I got to use a flamethrower!”

Birthday lunch crepes! In addition to the chicken filling and the apple filling, we put out lemons and sugar, plus Nutella. I would’ve sliced some bananas to go with the Nutella, but we didn’t have those on hand. Oh well! I was very happy with first a chicken-and-Emmenthaler crepe, then apples-and-Emmenthaler, then finishing with a

I love a crepe selection, personally, and when we did it for Sunday dinner, the kids had a lot of fun deciding what they wanted in their crepes. Normally I’d do a spinach-feta filling (sauté onions and garlic in olive oil, add chopped spinach (thawed from

It’s all about the food around here. For Kavi’s birthday party-day dinner, we went with unicorns — Annie’s mac-and-cheese unicorn-themed pasta. Not the fanciest dinner, but she was delighted, and we were pretty tired, so grateful for an easy meal. (I had leftover rice and curry myself.) I set up the dining table for her
