My very first cookbook was the Moosewood Cookbook. I don't think I even knew that it was vegetarian when I bought it.
A couple of the recipes I've made over and over include the Hungarian Mushroom Soup and the Swiss Cheese and Mushroom Quiche.
Last night for dinner, I made the quiche, only I switched out the ingredients. Mine included asparagus (so delicious and cheap right now) some leftover ham and shredded smoked gouda. I was nice and puffy and brown and the crust rocked. I'm not typically great at pie crusts, but this one was very, very good.
We are having the leftovers for dinner tonight (yes, leftover ham in the quiche and the leftover quiche for dinner) with some scalloped potatoes.
Can I get a witness?

the bloggedy blog thing

I confess that I don't always have time to read the blogs I love. So, it might not make sense to start one of my own.
Mostly, I want to share more than just a food photo here and there (like I do on FB) and also be able to add lots of recipes and comments and such.
Blogger is really user friendly as well.
So, here goes.
This morning, I'm roasting a chicken. One thing about working from home that is lovely is that I can roast a chicken while working. I throw some fresh herbs, a half an onion and a lemon in the cavity, rub the skin with some butter and throw it in the oven.
When it's done, I have enough chicken for a couple of main meals, some chicken salad and maybe the makings of a chicken stock. Delicious!
Welcome to my new blog.
