Cookbook review: Half Baked Harvest Every Day
It’s been a while since I reviewed a cookbook. Hope you haven’t been waiting with bated breath. There’s a higher end boutique that I visit (mostly to browse or look on the sale rack). They carry some cool cookbooks and I always peruse through them and then snap some photos of the covers so I…

Everyday Grand Review and Spicy Roasted Delicata Squash

CTB post for Molly Wizenberg’s A Homeade Life (or I thought making marshmallows would be easy!)
I made Molly’s “Zucchini Noodles with Pesto” for Cook the Books Club.

A veggie dinner with local (mostly) ingredients
What to do with all these fresh veggies? Throw them in a skillet with some fantastic chutney.
