Pecorino and Broccoli Frittata
This meal started out as me trying to make something halfway decent out of the few items we had on hand, and ended with me scrambling to remember exactly how I made it so I could get it down on paper; it was that good. Things like that don’t happen to me often, but when they do I can almost convince myself I have a real talent for cooking Like so many of my recipes, this one is easy to tailor to your tastes or the ingredients in your fridge; you could swap the broccoli for asparagus, try a shallot instead of an onion or use Parmesan instead of Pecorino (or, better yet,...
Read MoreSeptember Cookbook Challenge: Broccoli Puree with Parmesan
My kid ate broccoli! My kid ate broccoli! That pretty much sums up this recipe. Even though I consider myself a veggie-hater, I actually do like broccoli, so my saying that I loved this recipe doesn’t mean all that much. But the fact that my son – who completely fits the stereotype of the broccoli-hating toddler – had not one but two servings of this stuff tells you all you need to know. It’s week 4 of the September Cookbook Challenge and the cookbook of the month is Robin Miller’s Quick Fix Meals. Broccoli puree with Parmesan is best summed up as...

It’s week three of the September Cookbook Challenge! If you haven’t been following, the cookbook for the month is Quick Fix Meals by Robin Miller, and so far we’ve had one awesome recipe and another that was not so great. For this week, I chose Chicken Fingers with Spicy Avocado Sauce and I’m happy to report this one was a success. Because I count fried chicken as one of my favorite foods and I still hold out hope of fitting into my pre-motherhood jeans, I’ve tried a crazy amount of ‘oven-fried’ chicken recipes. Some have been decent and...
Read MoreSeptember Cookbook Challenge: Angel Hair with Creamy Turkey Sausage and Wild Mushroom Sauce
It’s week two of the cookbook challenge! September’s cookbook is Quick Fix Meals by Robin Miller, and the recipe for this week is Angel Hair with Creamy Turkey Sausage and Wild Mushroom Sauce. This recipe differs a bit from last week’s recipe in that it’s not a super-quick meal; instead, the book gives instructions for prepping most of the meal ahead of time so that you only need to reheat and add a few final ingredients when you’re ready to eat. I didn’t include the instructions for prepping ahead here because I made the entire meal at once, but if you...
