The Apron Caper: Wild Rice Salad
http://apron-caper.blogspot.com/2009/02/wild-rice-salad.html
Real-Life Kitchen Triumphs and Misadventures. Monday, February 9, 2009. In the "great pantry stock up" before the baby was born I bought a giant bag of wild rice. I was surprised to find it at the Asian market on Duraleigh in Raleigh. Though wild rice is usually thought of as a food native to North America, I recently learned that it also grows in some places in Asia. 1 and 1/2 cups wild rice. 1/2 cup dried cranberries. 1/2 cup chopped walnuts. 1/4 grated Parmesan cheese. 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar.

Real-Life Kitchen Triumphs and Misadventures. Tuesday, July 14, 2009. Grilled Chipotle-Lime Pork Chops. Every once in a while, quite unexpectedly, the ingredients in my house align perfectly.

The Apron Caper: Phony Minestone
http://apron-caper.blogspot.com/2009/02/phony-minestone.html
Real-Life Kitchen Triumphs and Misadventures. Tuesday, February 17, 2009. With the baby my cooking style is changing already. Gone are the days when I would linger over cooking dinner. Instead, I am trying to get our meal in the pot as fast as possible during my little guy's impossible short naps. Last night I hit on success with a quick minestrone soup. As an added plus, it was easy to make a big pot, so Kevin and I both have lunch for a couple of days. 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. 1 onion, diced.

The Apron Caper: Baby Food 101
http://apron-caper.blogspot.com/2009/06/baby-food-101.html
Real-Life Kitchen Triumphs and Misadventures. Tuesday, June 16, 2009. Twice in the last five months I have been home by myself without the baby. So, what did I do with myself last week when I found myself home alone? Take a long bubble bath, cozy up with a novel? Paint my much neglected toes? And what did I cook? The whole process was super easy. Here's my recipe for applesauce:. Apples are one of the "dirty dozen," which is a list of the twelve foods that get treated with the most chemicals or are harde...

Real-Life Kitchen Triumphs and Misadventures. Tuesday, March 17, 2009. Shrimp With Mushroom and Peas. These days I'm all about fast dinners, things out of the freezer, and the potential for leftovers. Last night's meal, by these standards, was a trifecta. Shrimp With Mushrooms and Peas. 1 tablespoon olive oil. 3 cloves garlic, minced. 2 cups sliced mushrooms. 1 red onion, finely diced. 2 dozen raw shrimp. 1 1/2 cups frozen peas. 1/2 cup chicken stock.

The Apron Caper: Old Bay Burgers Bring Me Back to the Kitchen

Real-Life Kitchen Triumphs and Misadventures. Monday, February 2, 2009. Old Bay Burgers Bring Me Back to the Kitchen. Kevin made the burgers. As a native of Maryland, he claims to love crabs, but I think he may really love anything that can get spiced with Old Bay seasoning. Made with celery salt, dried mustard, red and black pepper, bay leaves, cloves, allspice, ginger, mace, cardamom, cinnamon, and paprika, Old Bay makes a yummy addition to standard burgers. 1 pound ground beef. I live and cook in Rale...

The Apron Caper: What a Difference a Baby Makes
http://apron-caper.blogspot.com/2009/03/what-difference-baby-makes.html
Real-Life Kitchen Triumphs and Misadventures. Thursday, March 12, 2009. What a Difference a Baby Makes. I didn't realize how much time I actually invested in preparing our meals everyday until I had a baby. When I was working a full-time office job, I still cooked something from scratch almost every night. I shunned any convenience or prepackaged items, thinking that it was a cop out. I even would make whipped cream with a whisk instead of using an electric mixer. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
