Snow

Brrrr! It's snowing in October...

Ready or not...

The race is on in about 20 hours! We're gathering our supplies to get ready for a long and cold run. Crossing my fingers for no snow!

Goat-cheese stuffed meatballs

N took over the kitchen last night to make lamb meatballs stuffed with goat cheese. I helped him with the marinara. Such a treat! Recipe care of http://postcollegiatecooking.blogspot.com/2010/11/so-not-kosher-goat-cheese-stuffed.html (and inspired by a restaurant nearby). We left out the sausage.

P.S. It tasted MUCH better than it looks!

Masala veggie burgers with homemade buns

Burger recipe courtesy of http://www.dailygarnish.com/2011/01/homemade-vegetable-masala-burgers.html. Needs more masala spice, but we had no problems finishing them.

Pasta with homemade marinara, zucchini, and basil

I don't love pasta, but I'm looking for good ways to use all my basil. Such a great problem to have too much basil (yummmm), but I'm drawing a blank on good recipe ideas. A pizza is on the agenda for the next few days, but what else should I make?

This week at the market

Rain + wind + cold = no morning 20-miler. Hooray! I celebrated by shopping (in the cold, rain, and wind...oh well). Green onions, a ton of basil, squash, sweet potato, and okra. I'm excited!
