Feast Your Eyes

While my husband is outside at 9:30 pm shoveling mountains of snow off our ridiculously long driveway, I figured I’d do something helpful too….like blog. In all honesty I do feel bad that he’s out there doing manual labor while I’m inside sitting on my butt, but that’s the downside of only having one shovel. Maybe I’ll surprise him and pick up a second one sometime this week so I can help too.

If I’m particularly proud of a meal I’ve cooked, I’ll take a picture to remember it by. I have no idea why I do this since a) I’m fickle and only remember to take pictures sometimes so I often miss photo ops. of really awesome meals, and b) there is no redeeming purpose to useless photographs of food you can’t taste or smell and could easily recreate should the urge arise, but I do it anyway. I’d feel dumb deleting all these pictures without even doing anything with them since I clearly wasted the time to take the pictures in the first place, so like any normal person I’m choosing to unload them on my personal blog before trashing the digital evidence – it’s way less insulting to my ego that way. So, in case you were curious (you’re not), here’s a very small sampling of the homemade meals we eat in this house when I have a say in the matter (and I do because I do the cooking). Thanks for humoring my little photo release project and pretending you have nothing better to do all day than think about what your Cincy neighbors eat for dinner (doubtful). The only forgiving feature of this post is that you now have a small menu off of which to base meal requests for when you come to visit. And contrary to practically every picture, no, green beans are not the only vegetable I know how to cook. With that disclaimer out of the way, let the feast begin!

Root Beer marinated pulled pork carnitas
Atlantic sea bass with strawberry salsa and brie topped brown rice
The old classic - spaghetti with meatballs and a greek salad
Sea scallop and vegetable bowtie alfredo
Meatloaf and garlic mashed potatoes
Grape chicken salad
Cranberry crisp
Cherry blueberry pie
So this isn't a food (obviously), but I forgot to post this picture of Kate and Ted gleefully and seriously into playing with the kids train set while the kids were napping
