Here are a handful of iphone snapshots from the week capturing what I got up to in the kitchen, and out.
These showed up on Valentine’s Day courtesy of Mr. Mom’s Kitchen. Who knew a charming set of measuring spoons could make a girl swoon.
Happy to find this wholesome salad at the otherwise decadent Craftsman and Wolves cafe: kale, walnuts, yogurt, pomegranate, pear, yogurt, farro. Sort of strange, very tasty.
A friend cooked up this killer fish stew, which we inhaled around a pretty table with some of our favorite people. Can’t think of a better way to spend an evening.
The kids were out of school for a stretch so we headed to the ski slopes where I attempted to prove that packed lunch is better than lodge cafeteria food. They didn’t necessarily agree. Hard to compete with garlic fries and cocoa dispensed hot from a machine.
Was surprised at this supermarket find in a small mountain town: baby kale and other dark leafies. Just what’s needed for speedy sides.
This butternut squash risotto required a bit more labor, though, but was manna after a day on the slopes. I knocked off this recipe by Ina Garten, cutting the butter by two thirds and using Meyer lemon juice and zest for flavor since I had neither saffron nor pancetta.
Made this broccoli slaw for lunch one day and now I’m hooked: shredded broccoli/carrots/cabbage, lemon juice, olive oil, honey, salt, pepper, a dab of mayo, chopped pink lady apple.
I don’t know if vegetables can be considered cute, but this petite radish just begged to have her photo taken.
How was your week in food?

Butternut squash risotto has been popping up on all the blogs I follow. I think I’m convinced. We need to be eating this. That radish, however, is just too perfect!
Glad to know someone out there can appreciate my radish photo!
