Fromage Friday: Vermont Cheesemakers Festival Preview

July 31, 2009

Like a lot of people my finances are a little tight this year so I’ve had to forgo a big vacation (although going to visit my parents was a nice getaway).  Because of this I’ve been cherishing the day trips I’ve been taking with boyfriend and my girlfriends.  Thankfully there are so many interesting attractions [...]

Tres Leches Cake

July 27, 2009

Tomorrow my trip home is officially over and Oliver and I will be headed back to Boston.  It’s a little bit bittersweet since I miss my boyfriend and my kitchen, but at the same time it’s always hard to say goodbye to family and relaxation.  Before I went though my sister requested one of her [...]

Fromage Friday: Pairing Cheese and Wine

July 24, 2009

Today my parents, sister and I went for a wine tasting at Alexis Bailly Vineyard in Hastings, Minnesota.  I went with my boyfriend last year when in Minnesota for my cousin’s wedding.  (You can read about it here.)  I had such a good time that I returned to Boston with two bottles of wine and [...]

Kelly’s Ultimate Pressed Sandwich

July 22, 2009

Oliver and I arrived safely in Minnesota yesterday.  Traveling with a dog went much smoother than I imagined although after paying Midwest Airlines $150 one way for my dog to fly I was not prepared to find his kennel just sitting, unattended, by baggage claim in Minneapolis.  Poor guy.  I’m just glad he wasn’t puppynapped [...]

Meatless Monday: Fresh Vegetable Soup with Garlic Scapes

July 20, 2009

Tomorrow marks the start of a mini-vacation home to stay with my parents in Minnesota after an (hopefully) uneventful flight with the dog.  I go home to see family every summer and now that I have a puppy he’s coming to visit this year.  I’ve been spending the past couple days checking the usual pre-trip [...]

Vegetables and Wheat Berries in Caramel Sauce

July 16, 2009

It is said that we eat with our eyes first.  This is the reason that even when I am eating alone with my dog as my only witness I’ve been known to spend a fair chunk of time plating my food with care and pulling out the good place mats.  I love to consider all [...]

Secrets…

July 15, 2009

I have a confession to make and no, I promise it does not fall in the TMI camp.  I’m a hoarder.  Come to my 642 sq. foot condo and you’ll find that my walk in closet is full of the boxes to all my kitchen gadgets ::just in case:: they should fail and I should [...]

Featherlight Blueberry Pancakes

July 14, 2009

Yesterday was yet another fun day at the CSA.  My set items included a pint of freshly picked blueberries and spring onions.  In addition I chose broccoli, garlic scapes, green beans, and tomatoes.  This morning I used the first of my fresh produce - the blueberries - for my breakfast.  I knew I wanted pancakes, the question [...]
