Leftovers for dinner in the Bahamas

Fished some lobsters in the Bahamas. Grilled the first night with butter, onions, and sweet peppers. Second night, we took leftover grilled zucchini and eggplant, leftover lobster, some grape tomatoes - all sauteed with minced garlic and olive oil. Tossed with whole wheat spaghetti. Leftovers almost better than the first night’s gourmet lobster bake...

baking with my son

I love these moments with my son, baking cookies, reading novels, watching him lick the chocolate off his hands. This evening - peanut butter chocolate chip cookies and big chewy chocolate chip cookies. And a side of Riordan’s The Last Olympian.

browned butter rice crispy treats and port

Childhood memories and adult pleasures all rolled into one surprisingly incredible dessert. Just brown butter until it is good and nutty before adding marshmallows... Complex flavors in a childhood favorite. Eat with a glass of port - pairs so well with caramelly, nuttiness of familiar, nostalgic flavor. Yum.
