Thank You, and Goodbye

Today marks my last post for this blog. It’s been an awesome journey to take with all of you as we dug deep into our larders, pantries, and freezers for fun new ways to feed our bodies, and minds. This blog will be up as a testament to our time in quarantine, as well as

Beet Spätzle

Sorry, my phone did a whoopsie, and deleted all of my photos of this fabulous dish. I had made pickled beets for thanksgiving, and then the jar had wandered it’s way to the back of my fridge. Pickling is such an effective preservation method that when I found them recently they were still as sweet

Cornbeef Meatballs

This new take on an old New England classic was a true pleasure to cook. I absolutely love meatballs in the first place. They are tiny little versions of my favorite meal ever, meatloaf. You can make them so many different ways, and with so many different ingredients and sauces. They’re basically the perfect experimental

Hash Brown Breakfast

Breakfast is such an important part of the day. Nothing gives you the energy you need to lounge about in the glorious spring sun, stretching quite like a full breakfast. Today, I felt the urge for some hash browns. Not Homefries or breakfast potatoes, which are more chunky, but good proper shredded, pattied hash browns.

Squash Dumplings

Dumplings may be one of my favorite ways to use up old flour. All you need is something flavorful and moist, and with the gentle application of some flour you’ve got an amazing colorful meal, ready to be devoured. This meal was particularly special, as my partner made the whole thing from start to finish.

Shank Stew

I had way to many turnips in my larder, and was struggling to find out good ways to use them up in bulk. Turnips have a very unique flavor, so they don’t always go together with other veggies. One thing they do go smashingly with is wild game. The interesting flavors that can come with

Protein Pasta Salad

This is a quick trick you can pull together as you cook dinner, or when you have a little spare time. The ingredients can be anything you have on hand. I used kidney beans, bowtie pasta, sundried tomatoes, and a couple cans of tuna. I brought it to another level by marinating my tuna in

Lox and Bagels

I’m usually an economical grocery shopper. I always look for sales, and will only buy bulk materials that I can create large portions and leftovers with. Lox is never on sale, and so my economical brain often skips right by when I get to it’s display in the store. Today, however, there was a new
