	Asparagus, Fried Eggs & Parmesan with Farro Pilaf by Brianna Vereker Asparagus, Fried Eggs & Parmesan with Farro PilafMarch 23, 2010 by BriannaSpring is here!I love it when bundles of thin, tender asparagus appear at the store, which sounds funny now because I didn’t care for asparagus until just a few years ago. Apparently I can’t get enough of it this week because just last Saturday we were eating at…	1 vote 315 views
	Tabbouleh Salad with Lemon, Mint & Chickpeas by Brianna Vereker Tabbouleh Salad with Lemon, Mint & ChickpeasAugust 24, 2010 by Brianna“Hot Hot Hot! The Elephants are hot!” — the opening of one of Levi’s (Mommy’s) favorite books. These words popped into my head this morning, not just because I have the entire book memorized and often get it stuck in my head, but because the news informed me that…	1 vote 397 views
	Black Bean Tortilla Soup by Brianna Vereker Black Bean Tortilla SoupOctober 21, 2010 by BriannaEven though it postponed our trip to the pumpkin patch, the rain last Sunday was refreshing, and it put us in the mood for soup! We have so many dried beans in the pantry, I finally decided it was time to make a conscious effort to remember to soak them. I was envisioning a black bean…	1 vote 799 views
	Pumpkin Bread Pudding by Brianna Vereker Pumpkin Bread PuddingNovember 5, 2010 by BriannaOn Halloween my family comes over and we sit around a fire pit on our front deck and eat chili out of mugs. Then after we’ve handed out candy to the sparse trick-or-treaters in our neighborhood (leaving a huge bowl of candy that will tempt us for the coming weeks), we indulge in THE best…	1 vote 546 views

Next week I hope to try out a couple new cookie recipes (from the special holiday baking issue of Fine Cooking), take Levi downtown for some last minute shopping, and maintain some amount of…	1 vote 341 views
	Sweet Potato, Swiss Chard & Feta Galette {made with teff flour} by Brianna Vereker Sweet Potato, Swiss Chard & Feta Galette {made with teff flour}March 7, 2011 by BriannaConfession: I have an irrational fear of working with dough. There’s so much that could go wrong – I could add too much water; It might not come together correctly;…	1 vote 643 views
	Simple Pan-Roasted Pork Loin Chops by Brianna Vereker Simple Pan-Roasted Pork Loin ChopsMarch 30, 2011 by BriannaThat is one beautiful piece of meat, isn’t it? It’s from that new charcuterie shop in town that I mentioned in the last post. The owner knows our family now. We’re there on on a weekly basis to pick out something special for dinner, as well as some fun impulse buys like beef…	1 vote 1305 views
	Taco Night! by Brianna Vereker Taco Night!April 3, 2011 by BriannaSometimes I wonder what dinners Levi will get excited about when he’s older. I used to (hey, still do!) love pigs-in-a-blanket. My mom would wrap hot dogs in a homemade biscuit dough that had grated cheddar cheese in it. Whenever we make tacos, I think that maybe “Taco night” will be one of those…	1 vote 336 views
	Meyer Lemon Sugar Cookies by Brianna Vereker Meyer Lemon Sugar CookiesApril 11, 2011 by BriannaEvery year around this time, our meyer lemon tree in the front yard becomes too full with lemons to ignore. We use them in savory dishes like Red Trout Fillets with Meyer Lemon and in baked goods like lemon bars. Next year I’d love to try making preserved meyer lemons, so we can enjoy…	1 vote 258 views
	Spicy Pork with Asparagus & Chile by Brianna Vereker Spicy Pork with Asparagus & ChileApril 12, 2011 by BriannaI enjoy meat – don’t get me wrong – but I’d also be perfectly happy with a main course that consisted entirely of cheese. Because of this, I often let Dustin decide what protein we should have with dinner. When he came home from the butcher shop (yes, the same place I’ve…	1 vote 346 views
