Cooking Thoughts Week of 2/1/21

This week I am planning to move away from Ina Garten when it comes to my weekly Friday cooking. As of this moment, I am planning to make a vegetarian dish. Probably a soup. It seems like this time of year, my family enjoys having soup in the house on the weekends.

But the question remains….what soup?

Post-Storm Update

The snow has come and gone! My house has about a foot of snow. The most that’s falling in one storm in quite some time. Working a full, regular day today. But I’m exhausted from all the clean-up and snow removal, both yesterday and this morning. At least I can take it easy at work and think about what I’ll be making this week.

Friday Cooking January 29, 2021

So I know earlier in the week I posted how on Friday I was planning to switch things up a bit and make something out of the Gourmet Today cookbook. However, sometimes plans change and the weather in southern New England today calls for a hearty soup. So, I’m back to making an Ina recipe. I’ll be making Winter Minestrone & Garlic Bruschetta out of Foolproof. I can’t wait to try this recipe since I am a big fan of minestrone soups in general. They’re so hearty. Especially in the winter.

New Year’s Cooking

Now that the major holidays are behind us — at least for my family — I can focus on getting back into the swing of cooking Ina recipes each week.

Even though New Year’s is this week, my family was never really “big” on doing anything for the New Year. In normal times, we would go to my aunt and uncle’s house New Year’s Day, but that isn’t happening this year.

So, I decided I will cook something for them…but now what remains is the blog-age-old question:

What shall I make?

Hey!

I hope everyone had a glorious Thanksgiving! My family and I appreciated the different style of celebrating that 2020 brought us. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a chance to cook any Ina recipes for Thanksgiving. I know, I’m as upset as you all are! But, I did cook something Saturday night for dinner, the post will come tomorrow!

And what’s different about this one is it is NOT an Ina recipe! Her recipes will return soon though…stay tuned, as always!

Huh?

It’s Friday?! How did that happen??

I’ve decided to take this week “off” from cooking. I plan to publish my next cookbook review over the weekend. Had a busy couple of days at home.
