*kitchen crisis: there's a glass tray in the microwave that we accidentally dropped on our ceramic stovetop (never get one of those), and it is cracked and broken. we can't use it, and the replacement won't be here for at least two weeks! mac saved the day and bought a little electric two burner stovetop from target that we'll use...victory!
coconut macaroons
These could not be easier to make. 4 ingredients (coconut flakes, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and egg whites) are mixed together in a large bowl and then scooped out onto a sheet to bake. They're delicious!
chicken with morels
Morels are fancy mushrooms. I bought 1 oz of dried morels at Sur La Table for $20. Before using them in this recipe I soaked them in hot water for a half hour. They became plump when hydrated and quite delightfully fragrant! The sauce has a wonderful, complex flavor the comes from the Madeira wine, a fortified wine from Portugal. It creamy and comforting on a stormy night.
lasagna with turkey sausage
Well...I didn't use turkey sausage. We just picked up our new share from Cedar Valley Farms so I just used that pork sausage instead. I think what makes this lasagna especially good is the combination of cheeses. The ricotta is mixed with creamy goat cheese and parmesan and there are slices of fresh mozzarella in each layer. This is the kind of food that's better the next day, too. Yum.
