I started out blogging as food blogging and now...nothing! I'd like to try to get back to blogging about what we're eating. So what are we eating right now?
For one, it's getting crazy hot. That means popsicles and ice cream!
Cherry Almond Chocolate Frozen Custard - this was incredible and better yet, we were able to share it with dear friends who stayed with us Saturday night. Also for our friends I made these Strawberry Basil Margaritas. They were fantastic and they'll be my contribution to Beach Trip Drinking next week.
Strawberry - Coconut Yogurt popsicles - I worked off of these two recipes from Smitten Kitchen and Joy the Baker.
Strawberry Ice Cream, which tends to be my favorite.
It's my goal to make a new and interesting ice cream most weeks this summer. I mean, it's 90+ degrees everyday with 100% humidity and I work in the garden after Caleb goes to bed. I deserve a bowl of homemade ice cream. Next up on my list: Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream, also from Joy the Baker.
Dinners are the usual rotation of new items. I'm notoriously bad at repeating recipes, not when there are constantly new, delicious ones popping up on the many blogs I read! Last week we had savory breakfast for dinner, with these Bacon-Cheddar Corn Pancakes, from my favorite recipe developer at Serious Eats. Staples I fall back on fairly often are spaghetti with meatballs, a basic vegetable soup, and hamburgers on the grill. We're eating lots of grilled corn, squash and zucchini, from the farmers market. I also recently made these taquitos again- I first made them about 3 years ago, when our dear friends had their first baby. They are a baked chicken taquito, and Brian was thrilled when I pulled out a hidden pan of frozen ones this past weekend for Saturday lunch. If you're going to do all the chopping and rolling required for this recipe, double it and freeze some. I promise, you'll be sad if you don't. I also made a recipe out of the new Southern Living, Brown Sugar-Brined chicken breasts on the grill. They were fantastic.
A total fail, recently? Homemade english muffins. I won't link to the recipe, because I think it was user error. We continue to stick to the same dinner plan that I've been using for a couple years now. I plan 3 meals a week and stretch them for as long as possible. And Caleb? He eats toddler food. Blueberries, oranges, graham crackers, shredded cheese. The other night he ate 2 chicken nuggets and I was thrilled!
