This is a pretty simple recipe though it takes more time to come together then I thought it should. The result is absolutely spectacular though and worth the effort. I’d suggest using really good goat cheese and the freshest tomatoes you can find because there’s no hiding behind bad ingredients here.
I think this was a pretty successful week actually. I might have actually made everything that was on my menu in the correct order actually which almost never happens. I think the results are that are great because it’s so colorful and nice.

This weekend we get to celebrate a friends birthday in a medieval tower and I couldn’t be more excited about it. The weather has been really great too so hopefully I can easily transition from heavy winter dishes to something more light and spring-worthy.

Turned out that making sushi rolls with the rice on the outside was much more difficult so next week I’m going back to some old standbys to get my confidence back up but this week was pretty neat and experimental at least.

Well the weather did not get the memo that it’s spring now. It’s been snowing for three days here and honestly, one of them was one of the biggest we had all season but I’ll keep at it.

This is a delicious and homey dish. A little bit like a mix between vegetable pot pie and a casserole, it’s perfect for when you’ve got the cold weather blues. You can use canned biscuits to speed it up too. I’d also suggest doubling the casserole part without the biscuits if you’re going to freeze it.
This was a really great week for making food. Lots of different types of things and I managed to do all the things I actually wanted to do so I feel really great about these even if I overcooked the boiled eggs (!) which is something I almost never do but oh well, still delicious.
