Spaghetti Bolognese


Mmmmm one of my favorite meals EVER. I love Bolognese and eat it on pasta, gnocchi, baked potatoes, and sometimes even perogies. It's soooo good. And mine's awesome. I don't use a lot of secret ingredients, but it always turns out a treat. Plus I have a container of Ital 4 blend cheese from the Italian Centre which is AMAZING and whenever I have it, I tend to eat Italian a bit to use it up. It's sooo good.

Herb Butter



So I finally ran out of food "pellets" for my mixed herb crop in the AeroGarden, so it was time to chop it all down, clean out the machine, and start the 6 pods of Genovese Basil. I'm going to have so much fresh basil - finally I'll make Leslie that pesto I never gave her from the last time.

Simple Salad and Herb Bread

To celebrate making new herb butter (yay!) - well, herb margarine anyway, I made a salad as an excuse to make herb bread with some leftover baguette from a few days ago. Very basic salad. but delicious!

Craving Eggs

Simply scrambled with some grated cheddar, lots of pepper, and some multigrain toast with olive oil margarine.

Saturday Salad Lunch

Baby red romaine, cucumber, red onion, tomatoe, green pepper, some crispy onion, a few croutons, and a cheater dressing, which was some creamy bacon dressing from who knows when shaken with some white wine vinegar. And lots of pepper. Delicious lunch!

Homemade Pizzettas





Shelby came over and I had some bits and pieces of tons of stuff in my fridge. I had Italian bread and made 3 different crostoni... ajvar/chicken/peppers/olives/mozzarella/emmenthal, and tomato sauce/bacon/tomatoes/onions/brie, and bolognese/chunks of cut up leftover tortellini/pamesan....

they were to DIE for. Shelby ate them so fast I thought his lips were going to melt off. He couldn't get enough of these.

I'll definitely be making them again.
