No More Nuggets: October 2010

http://nuggetsnpizza.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html

Thursday, October 28, 2010. I tried a recipe Mark Bittman published in Parents. Magazine for butternut squash soup. Thanks to the short ingredient list and my sharp knife, it was easy to make.

No More Nuggets: March 2010

http://nuggetsnpizza.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html

Wednesday, March 31, 2010. Last night we had cheese ravioli with tomato sauce. And pan-roasted broccoli. I cooked some frozen ravioli from Sam's. According to Jacob, the highlight of the meal was the broccoli. An article on cooking vegetables in Cook's Illustrated. Inspired me to try cooking some standard veggies in new ways. The article recommended sauteing peas in butter instead of boiling them. Jacob loved this method- although, he never complained about boiled peas. 1 3/4 lb broccoli. Salt, to taste.
