Cucumber, Bell Pepper, and Tomato Salad with Thai Lime Vinaigrette

This was very, very good. Recipe from Andrea Meyers. With these I think we’ll be eating a lot of Mozzarella Toasts with Spicy Herb Oil. They were so easy to make.
This week’s meals.

Sunday: Too full from eating steak, corn, and salad for lunch at Miles’ aunt’s house in Wayne, ME. Dessert was particularly excellent–homemade coffee Heath ice cream from Tubby’s on top of Simply Divine Brownies. The brownies were after-market from the manufacturing facility. Just the ends–so they were $7 for a big bag instead of $3.50 [...]
Overrun with tomatoes.

And then not so much. They didn’t turn into a lot, but what’s there is REALLY good. I slow roasted my first harvest, using this recipe from Andrea Meyers: cooking, gardening, and four hungry guys. Mine started out looking like this: Somehow I roasted them too much, though. Eight hours is a long time, and [...]
Chicken in Milk. How does everyone not know about this recipe?

Best chicken ever. Thanks, Jamie Oliver. Fry chicken in butter and oil. Add 1/2 cinnamon stick, 10 cloves of garlic (not even peeled!), some lemon zest, sage (I used thyme) and some milk. Roast uncovered until done, basting occasionally if you remember. It will smell amazing in your house. Serve. Oh my. So good. Jamie [...]

Everyone I have mentioned this too has said that it is completely disgusting. Except my father in law, who said that he thought it sounded pretty tasty. The other night I was wanting sweet and savory and cheesy all at once, and made this panini: That, my friends, is a Peach, Chocolate Chip, Bacon, and [...]
This is why I don’t buy eggs from the grocery store.

I mean, among the MANY reasons. Last week I got into a bind and didn’t have enough eggs. I hope THAT never happens again. I cracked my last farm fresh egg (right) into the bowl, and then an egg from the grocery store (left). What a pale, sad sight.

The squash enchiladas were WAY too hot. In the back there is the enchilada sauce. I followed all the directions, substituting 4 dried anchos for the 10 cascabels. I tasted it and it was fine to me, but Miles doesn’t really enjoy things that burn. He likes flavor instead. So do I, but I don’t [...]
I love PW.

Yes, the Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond. I am fascinated with her ranch/4 children/homeschooling/photography/cooking life. I am terribly jealous of her giant kitchen with her professional stoves, her eleventy billion pieces of Le Creuset, and her walk in pantry. Most of all I love her recipes, though. I made Blueberry Cobbler the other day. I have [...]

I made pickles and blueberry cobbler and blueberry jam last week. I’ll post about those later, though. Monday: Pasta with Chicken, Garlic Scapes, Tomatoes, and Basil from Andrea Meyers: Cooking, Gardening and Four Hungry Guys Tuesday: Peach and Mozzerella Paninis (with basil and prosciutto). Wednesday: Spinach, White Bean, and Bacon Salad with Maple Mustard Vinaigrette [...]
