A butternut squash, blood orange, and sage galette made with a cornmeal-sage crust that is topped with a roasted garlic mascarpone cream, roasted butternut and carrot slices, and an orange-maple syrup – so incredibly delicious!
It’s savory galette o’clock!
Just in time to be your fancy DIY Valentine’s Day During A Pandemic meal.
You can cook it with your spouse (or not, if you want to still be married by the end of the evening), or for yourself just because. That’s always a good reason.
Happy weekend!!
We had our first really big snowstorm this week since Remy was born….yes that means almost five years with barely any snow. (If you need any evidence for climate change, there it is.) She had so much fun playing in the snow with us and with her pod-mate, but it also meant two days of working from home without childcare, which was giving me flashbacks to March. Not interested in going back to that any time soon.
Just like every other weekend, we have absolutely no plans. We’ll probably go for a walk. I just spent an hour deleting spam emails. Exciting stuff.
On to the meal plan! This is what we’re cooking this week:
Happy eating!
Peanut butter crunch brownies!! Rich chocolate brownies topped with a layer of peanut butter cream and, cacao nibs, and chocolate ganache.
I’m feeling like I’m doing some real adulting today you guys, and here’s why:
I MADE A DENTIST APPOINTMENT. Willingly. I won’t tell you how long it’s been, and there is no sense in dwelling on this.
(Plus my mom reads this sometimes and she would kill me if she knew. So.)
Spanakopita pizza pockets – filled with a delicious spinach and feta mixture encased in a buttery whole wheat pie crust these make the perfect party appetizer or snack.
This is for all the 90s kids who LIVED on after school Hot Pocket meals.
Those things were horrible, right? But also kind of amazing? Do they even still make them?
Don’t answer that. I don’t need to know.
A simple pasta with blistered green peppers and lots of pecorino.
Snow dayyyyyyyyy!!!!!
Well, sort of. Now that we know everything can be done virtually, will there ever truly be such a thing as a snow day again?
Or will it just be a “work from home while your child hangs all over you demanding snacks because you have no childcare day”.
That was a rhetorical question to which we all know the answer.
Woooooooo!!!!! Saturday!!!!!
Ours is starting off with a non-functional internet connection, which has forced me to learn how to set up a mobile hotspot on my phone. Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks??
Also, thank goodness for technology. A few days ago we tried to explain to Remy that phones used to be connected to the wall and didn’t have screens to facetime other people. Her mind was BLOWN. So strange to think that she will never know or remember a world that is any different.
Hopefully our internet is back up and running soon because my mom is getting married (virtually!) later today. If not, we’ll just have to zoom in our phones. Remy has designated herself as the “wedding introducer”, which apparently means that she will introduce the bride and groom, give everyone a virtual tour of our apartment, and then take any questions or comments. All while wearing her flower girl dress from my sister-in-law’s wedding last year. It will be….interesting.
Anyway, that’s our weekend in a nutshell. What are you all doing?? More importantly, what are you cooking??
Here’s what we’re meal planning this week:
Happy eating!
Welcome to Eats Well With Others, where we take a vegetable-and-cupcake laden approach to life (always with a bit of laughter on the side)!
