Recipe for Gluten-Free Malfatti (Spinach and Ricotta Dumplings) with Simple Tomato Sauce (Gluten Free, Vegetarian)

April 7, 2013 6 Comments

The spinach I’ve been getting in my CSA is gorgeous. It’s easy to find ways to eat up my leafy greens each week. One of my new favorite ways uses up a whole pound of fresh spinach in one go–Malfatti with Simple Tomato Sauce. Malfatti means “poorly made” in Italian. Or something like that. They are also ravioli nudi because it’s what you’ll find inside of the the ravioli, except without the pasta. Or something […]

Kraft Fresh Take Challenge 2: Butternut Squash Ravioli Lasagna with Leeks and Baby Portabello Mushrooms

March 21, 2013 4 Comments

Have you seen lasagna made with ravioli? I know it’s been around for a long time, but I only recently saw it and thought it was brilliant. As you know, I’ve been participating in a recipe challenge using Rosemary and Roasted Garlic Kraft Fresh Takes. I thought the Fresh Takes and frozen ravioli would the perfect match way to make a quicker version of my husband’s favorite butternut squash lasagna. I sauteed leeks and baby […]

Zucchini Casserole for National Zucchini Day

August 8, 2012 7 Comments

It’s National Zucchini Day! I wanted to share my new favorite way to eat zucchini with you. I made this over the weekend for a quick, healthy summer meal that our family really enjoyed. I’ve been waiting all summer for my garden to produce zucchini. A few weeks ago I saw one rather small zucchini on the plant surround by many blossoms. I couldn’t wait any longer and I picked it. It was so good. […]

A friend in need is a friend indeed. And sometimes you have friends who need a good meal brought to them. Furthermore, if you bring these enchiladas to a friend in need, they will be your friend indeed. These are pretty special. (Come closer–they are super easy to make. Don’t tell though. Tell everyone you spent hours slaving away.) I like to use the poached chicken I posted about yesterday when I make enchiladas. You […]

Biscuit-Topped Chicken Pot Pie with Asparagus, Mushrooms and Leeks

April 12, 2011 13 Comments

My darling friends, Kelly and Cecily, treated me to a fabulous dinner at Communal a few days ago in honor of my 30th birthday. They know how much I love it. (We had the best time. Thanks, ladies!) My husband felt a little left out, I think. He teased that I always get to eat there and he’s only been a few times. I reminded him that he gave me a gift card to Communal for […]

Sunday Breakfast: Toad-in-the-Hole with Onion Gravy

October 9, 2009 9 Comments

On Sunday, I wanted to make a big breakfast. Usually my husband has meetings early in the morning until late in the evening on Sundays. I’m alone with the kids in the morning to get them ready to go for our 9:00 AM meeting time. (It’s kinda rough, I’m not gonna lie to you.) Last weekend we were able to stay home and listen to the Semiannual General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ […]
