Idaho Zucchini

This is another nod to my grandmother’s Idaho Potato Recipe. This time I used 2 cups of the zucchini I shredded this morning. Because zucchini has much more liquid than potatoes or sweet potatoes, it needed some more binders to hold it together. Here are the ingredients: 2 Beaten Eggs…

“Octoberfirst” Meal

My husband named this meal. He took a bite and said it tasted like “Octoberfest”…of course, silly me, since it is October first today, I had a little fun with that. This is the meal that came from the prepped ingredients from this morning. Here is the list: 4 Chicken…

Roasted Butternut Squash…with prepping tutorial.

The day has come to cook the butternut squash from our trip to Lombardi Ranch. Butternut is one of my favorite squash, but I must admit, I see it sitting there and imagine how much time it will take to prepare it. I exaggerate the amount of time it will…

Tonight’s Dinner Prep

Tonight I am on a mission to use the rest of the kale and the remaining peppers. So, we will be having a meal with some really great chicken sausage (my daughter asked if she could have a bowl as a snack!) and at a variety of other ingredients, most…

I made the mash and it works! I am SO surprised! Here is how I tweaked the recipe: 1 large head of cauliflower, steamed and placed into the food processor. Be sure to drain off any water from the steaming process. Add salt and pepper to taste, 1 tablespoon of…

Sequal to “Southern Men Proof” Mash

On the suggestion of Susan in the comments section of The Boxes are Here, I am trying this with our dinner tonight! My husband really likes mashed potatoes and doesn’t really enjoy cauliflower. Let’s see how he he likes this! I have high hopes and can’t wait!

Cherry Tomato and Cheddar Cheese Risotto

When our box arrived on Tuesday, I knew I wanted to use those beautiful cherry tomatoes in something yummy. Risotto was the answer. What could go better with cherry tomatoes than a sharp cheddar cheese. Thus was born Cherry Tomato and Cheddar Cheese Risotto. Though it takes a little time,…

What is in These Bags?

I think I have a sickness. I am not sure what it is called, but it is to blame for my out of control produce purchasing! Today, even though I have plenty of prepared veggies in our fridge ready to eat, I went to Lombardi Ranch. It is one of…
