Now that summer vacation ends tomorrow, thought I would share with you some of my favorite recipes from this summer. What did you cook this summer that you would love to share?
Everything in this cookbook (so far)
Lemon Cake – double the lemon curd!
These for easy summer breakfasts
It is no secret that one of the best parts of traveling is learning the culture. And I think that the best way to do that is by eating the food.
Yes, food is a crucial part of traveling for me.
And in this new cookbook, Tasting Rome, I feel like I can travel to the city through the photographs and the recipes and the history. While there may only be a few recipes that I want to try to make at home, I think this book for me helps me experience a country I might otherwise never be able to visit.
Thank you to Blogging for Books for this book. All opinions are my own.
I still cook, I promise! I just don’t post it on here because I have really found hardly any time for blogging!
So, since I still cook, thought I would show you what is going down in my kitchen this week.
Its been 4 years tomorrow that my Granny passed away. So, I’m making her chicken and rice, her most famous meal, tomorrow. We’ll see how it turns out.
Two orders of sweet potatoes coming up this week:
Sweet Potatoes with a delicious herb sauce
Sweet potatoes, sausage, and swiss chard – yummy pot when it gets colder again this week.
For breakfasts we have cereal, granola, fruit.
I want to try these this week and see if my boys go for them.
What are you cooking this week?
This week is totally not going like it was planned. I was supposed to be going to Charlotte after I dropped mister at the airport, but then we looked at the budget. I will so miss time with friends and babies and in a cool place like Charlotte.
But, here’s to cooking at home:
Monday: When I saw this on my feed and realized I had everything and how perfect are pancakes when you are by yourself (and your kiddos) – they freeze well and I have everything for the recipe. Thanks Kevin for being creative with your pancakes!
Tuesday: Tomato Avocado sandwiches will be for dinner. Simple and fresh with some local french country bread I got at the farmers market last week
Wednesday: Coconut lime ice box pie. Roasted potatoes from the farmers market and some vegetables will be on tap for tonight for a simple vegetarian meal. For lunch, I’m trying out the Roswell Tea House with a sweet friend. I think I could eat their whole menu…I want to try everything.
Thursday: Pound cake cupcakes with a lavender buttercream. Can’t wait. These are for ARWB Foodie Friday post. Can’t wait to see how they turn out! For dinner I’m thinking Jiffy Corn waffles are in store. Maybe with some chicken tenders on top for some semi-homemade chicken and waffles.
Friday: That pizza that I still haven’t made yet – yeah, the white truffle one – I’m going to make that.
Saturday: Roasted Swai salad for a late dinner with the mister when he gets off work – don’t know how much my littles will go for it.
Sunday: I think Sunday’s are made for a good brunch meal. Let’s go with a bacon quiche…what’s not to love.
