Quarantine cooking is a strange beast. I feel like I’ve made somewhere just short of one million meals, and I may not be too far off in my guesstimate. All of the sudden all of my family is around. All of the time. And hungry. All of the time. I’m trying to figure out new and flavorful dishes to serve that won’t take up all of my time or call for ingredients that I can’t find. Yet, it’s actually a great time for learning new techniques and trying new recipes. I’ve done a deep dive into my collection of cookbooks. These five cookbooks are the five cookbooks that I am spending lots and lots of time with these days.
…Everything but the Bagel Sourdough Crackers
Anyone else feel like they are on their millionth meal since this whole “Stay at Home” thing started? Can’t think about planning (let alone executing) one more “balanced meal”? I am here for you. Many of my meals lately have been fruit + cheese + crackers + nuts. Not only because it’s easy, but also because it has served to rid the fridge and cupboards of leftovers in a very simple kind of way. And although I know Holly just recently showed you a simple healthy cracker recipe, I’m going to show you another. Because this is how we roll. Everything but the Bagel Sourdough Crackers are your next dinner weapon. Or lunch. Or breakfast. Or snack. Who even knows what time it is anymore anyway?
…Quarantine 2020: Lessons from my Sourdough Starter
Quarantine. Social Distancing. Covid-19. All words I would be 100% happy to NEVER hear again. But here we are. And I personally don’t think this is going to be truly “over” anytime soon. As we are all facing great stress, both at home and at work, I have chosen to focus on welcome distractions. Like my Sourdough Starter. Turns out it has had some great lessons to teach.
…Meal Prep: Chicken Pesto Pasta
It’s been a TOUGH few weeks. Between shifts at the hospital, homeschooling (teachers y’all need a billion dollar raise) and trying to keep everyone on some sort of a schedule, it’s been a little trying. But one thing that has helped is cooking large batches of food. You know, meals like this Chicken Pesto Pasta that can be packed up for work, lunches, and just available for the multiple times a day my kids think they need to be eating.
…An Update Along With Some Information on How to Help.
As most of you know we are both Emergency Physicians. And right now we’re a little preoccupied with this crazy little virus called COVID-19 (Coronovirus ). It’s time to hunker down in your house and cook all of those great foods you’d been wanting to make! But things are changing rapidly and many people have asked how to help.
…Dutch Oven Bread
My kids LOVE fresh bread. And they can eat loaves and loaves of it if I let them. But bread baking is so tedious, right? WRONG. Turns out this simple Dutch Oven Bread is so stinking simple you could make it every day.
…Napa Style- Hanging out in Napa, California!
I know I already told you about the amazing Healthy Kitchens, Healthy Lives Conference that I was lucky enough to attend in Napa, California, but how did we spend our time off? We definitely made the most of it- Napa Style!
…Roasted Beet and Citrus Salad
Does anyone else feel like it is already February 425th? This month has gone on and on and on and on. Although it is warmer that usual here in Minneapolis, this is the point in winter where everyone is needing a good dose of sunshine. Enter the Roasted Beet and Citrus Salad.
…Healthy Kitchens, Healthy Lives 2020
A lot of you asked me about all of the posts on our Insta account (Stories especially) from the Healthy Lives, Healthy Kitchens Conference in Napa, California. And guess what, I can’t wait to tell you ALL about it!
…Vanilla Rose Meringues
I was recently asked by a local magazine to come up with recipe ideas for rose water. Rose water? That was an ingredient I never even considered using. But you all know me. I can’t say no to a challenge! And I have to admit, I was intrigued. Intrigued enough to take the challenge. Here is my experience (spoiler alert: I learned A LOT!) and the recipe for my Vanilla Rose Meringues!
