Have you ever been to your farmers market and see all the different types of mushrooms and wonder, “how in the world would I cook that?” Well, for a long time, that was me with oyster mushrooms; their irregular shape had me stymied, but really…
I have been incredibly busy these past two weeks. Nothing like the New Year to motivate you to start new projects or push toward finishing old ones. But, despite all the work ahead of me on these projects, I want to ensure that I take care of myself. That’s when my Instant Pot Chicken, Mushroom, and Wild Rice Soup comes to my rescue! This soup comes together in a hands-off way, letting me get more done with my extremely packed schedule.
Risotto is one of those dishes that sounds fancy, but is easy to make once you learn the techniques. It’s also a blank slate that can be used to highlight whatever is currently in season. Asparagus and mushroom risotto is one of my favorite ways…
Quinoa bowls are fantastically versatile. Have one random, leftover chicken breast? Toss it in. Half a bunch of asparagus? Sauté it up. Leftover mushrooms? No problem. This ramp and asparagus quinoa bowl is a flavorful way to repurpose pre-cooked spring veggies, or lots of little…
Happy new year! Let’s start the new year off the right way with my sheet pan gnocchi recipe, full of roasted honeynut squash, kale, mixed mushrooms, and ground pork. This will make enough for six one-bowl meals, which is great for meal prep and stocking the freezer with ready-to-go options for when I don’t feel like cooking (blasphemy, I know!)
Meal prep has been a key to managing busy schedules for myself and my husband. If I can cook once and have extras for healthy options throughout the week for lunch, that is a huge win. This particular recipe reheats well in both a toaster oven and a microwave, so it’s great for an office lunch (or a quick work-from-home lunch that doesn’t take too much time out of the day) or dinner at home if I don’t want to cook that evening.
August is hot, hot, hot! And humid. I’ve been drinking a ton of water to ensure that I’m properly hydrated. I don’t know about you guys, but I definitely notice an improvement in my mood when I am properly hydrated. Infusing some fresh mint into…
I cannot believe it is August already. The summer is flying by, and I’m soaking up every bit of it that I can. Summer markets are always my favorite, probably because of the wide variety of produce that’s in season. And in August, we’re right…
Can you believe it’s already the end of July? It feels like the Fourth was just yesterday.
The summer heat is here, and now is the time to enjoy “no-cook” dinners. More salads are on the menu this week, as are sandwiches and other easy to put together meals. This is not the time of year to be spending hours at the stove, even if you have air conditioning.
Anyway, enough about the weather. Onto this week’s finds…
The summer farmers market is in full swing! This week’s finds are quite extensive, and I’m looking forward to using all this produce in meals throughout the week.
My farmers market haul isn’t big this week; I am not actually planning to cook much, considering that it isn’t my week to cook (my husband and I trade off cooking duties). What I did buy, however, are staples that we use all the time.
