Eating Well

Tonight is the first night I've cooked in several days. New Year's Eve & Day were spent celebrating with friends, and then I went down for a day with that darn bug. Now that I'm feeling a bit better, I'm returning to one of my favorite sources of recipes - Eating Well magazine.

Eating Well is a gorgeous publication based out of Vermont that embraces local, seasonal, healthy cooking. Our friends, The Pritchard's, gave Derek a subscription to EW for years, and this is where I first came across it. You can find the print mag in many grocery stores. I use online recipes to save $$ and for convenience, but if you feel like browsing a beautiful food magazine, this is definitely one to try.


On tonight's menu is Lentil-Sausage Casserole. For us, this is a recipe made with staples like rice, frozen spinach, a can of lentil soup (which I always have on hand in case I'm inspired to make this easy recipe), and turkey sausage. We like spicy stuff, so I use hot turkey sausage; you could also use pepper jack cheese instead of cheddar. It's a hearty winter dish that is great to bring over to friends who have just had a baby or to a sick family member.

The EW website has lots of recipes geared toward kids. I was just checking out the crockpot recipes as well, so I will definitely feature more from EW here in the future!

Silas' Blog

Well it's been a busy 3 years since I last posted! Stay tuned as we may have more posts coming now that it looks like I have a new contributor... Silas recently read a book called "Starting Your Own Blog", and now he is bound and determined for us to let him start his own blog! We convinced him that he should start out by drafting content and a posting calendar. We made templates this morning and he wrote his first "post" today!

Parks

We decided to get Zoe's haircut on Saturday morning at a place geared towards kids called Snip-Its . Neither Derek nor I anticipated what a meltdown Zoe was going to have. The haircut is half-assed at best and Derek will have to fix it when she's more calm. We were so traumatized that we headed to the park to get the day going on a better foot! We went back to Larz Anderson, the park where the  Psychiatry picnic was held on Thursday . It is really close to our house and is lovely and shaded. I think it's one of my new favorite spots! The kids like it too :) S&Z love playing with wood chips, so there was a lot of that! Snacks were enjoyed on the bench and I tried to get a few pictures of the haircut... Excuse me, I'm chewing pretzels :) This morning we met up with Wendy, Dave, Sydney & Ivy at the Newton Center Playground. It was HOT HOT HOT, and there wasn't too much shade. The kids have inherited my low tolerance for heat, so they spe...

The Best of Project 366

2012 is coming to a close and I have officially completed Project 366 ! I managed to take and post and keep track of 365 photos out of 366 total days this year. I only missed one day and it was for a pretty good cause . Believe me, these pictures don't take themselves. I shot just under 7000 pictures this year. Once I got an iPhone in March all of the pictures were taken with my phone (~ 5500 pictures!). The camera on the iPhone is really good, I always have it with me, and I like playing around with the filters and other editing tools available in photography apps like Instagram, Camera+, Diptic, and Gridditor. Since I have put so much time, love and energy into Project 366 I thought I should select a few "Best Of's". I had a great time putting this together, and I hope you enjoy these highlights as well!
