Roots and Zest: Overnight Prep
http://rootsandzest.blogspot.com/2012/04/overnight-prep.html
I talk about food a lot. And other stuff. Saturday, April 28, 2012. Soaking cannellini beans and salt-and-sugar curing lamb shoulder overnight for tomorrows supper. Im trying to simultaneously respect the cold weather this weekend and pray this is the last snap of the season. Slow-roasted lamb does this girls soul good. And Ive been dreaming of these beans for months! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Search Roots and Zest. Lookie what I got! Follow me on Twitter. Eden Prairie, Minnesota, United States.

http://rootsandzest.blogspot.com/2012/03/tomorrow.html
I talk about food a lot. And other stuff. Sunday, March 25, 2012. Tomorrow is my daughter's 7th Birthday Party. The theme is SPACE. I have done definitely ridiculous and possibly awesome things. WATCH THIS SPACE for pictures and stories. Hand Made Tee Shirts! I have outdone the Jessie party. Or at least I intend to. The party's not til 2pm tomorrow (11 hours away including a few that will be spent sleeping), so, you know, I'm not really done prepping/started decorating/iced the cake yet. Oh how I love my.

http://rootsandzest.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
I talk about food a lot. And other stuff. Sunday, July 1, 2012. My son is turning 5 on Tuesday. Today we celebrated with a few of his friends. Each child gets their name on the back of the shirt, outlined in glow paint, too. Robot cake: I made two 9x9 squares. I used one as the body (slimmed down a little on the vertical sides), and cut the other into four squares. One quarter for the head, one cut into the two arms, the other two I shaped into the two feet and the two claw/hands. Box. Lookie what I got!

http://rootsandzest.blogspot.com/2012/04/birthday-season.html
I talk about food a lot. And other stuff. Friday, April 20, 2012. My husband, daughter, mother and I all have birthdays within 16 days of each other. This year, my daughter wanted a SPACE themed party for her 7th birthday. Here's the cake I made. It's the solar system. And yes, Pluto is represented. I'm old school like that. I used this pan. For the sun, and this. For the planets (both purchased at Michael's. The planets are dipped in different colored candy melts. Happy birthday, big girl! Lover of...

Roots and Zest: July 2011
http://rootsandzest.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
I talk about food a lot. And other stuff. Thursday, July 28, 2011. My quest to weigh 476 pounds by Christmas. I started making ice cream. Left to right: olive oil with buttered pecans, mint, chocolate, beet with mascarpone and poppyseeds. My favorite is the mint, picked from my container garden and steeped for four hours. It is excellent with white chocolate chips and coconut thrown in it. I intend to make rosemary, basil, and Manhattan ice cream with a carmel bitters ribbon and roasted cherries. Never h...

Roots and Zest: September 2013
http://rootsandzest.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
I talk about food a lot. And other stuff. Thursday, September 5, 2013. Jim Kowalski, 1946-2013. Rest In Peace. Eleven months ago, after staying home and raising my family for almost eight years, I walked into my neighborhood Kowalski's and asked for a job. For the next six months, I learned how great a part time deli job in my corner grocery store c ould be. I have been a fanatic from day one. I only had a few conversations with Jim Kowalski, but I remember the first and the last very well. Thanks, Mr...

Roots and Zest: Six Years of Motherhood
http://rootsandzest.blogspot.com/2011/03/six-years-of-motherhood.html
I talk about food a lot. And other stuff. Tuesday, March 29, 2011. Six Years of Motherhood. My daughter turned 6 on Sunday. Saturday we had six little girls over to our house for a party. It was very loud and very cute, and it only lasted two hours in the morning, which was great. I was dubious about how the Jessie The Yodeling Cowgirl Hat Cake was going to turn out when I started. But it ended up really cute! Me, six years and four days ago:. I'm still that happy about my baby girl! Search Roots and Zest.
