I like to take my time and prepare something especially tasty on
Sundays. It's the one day that's truly lazy and affords me the time to
cook something more complicated or simply something that demands more
attention than I can give on homework nights. The boys seems to be more
chilled out on Sundays, and I have an extra set of hands since Mac
Daddy is home. I don't use him as my sous chef, but he makes a great
playmate for the kids and dog to keep them occupied while I whisk away
in the kitchen. My only "down" time is in the kitchen. This Sunday's
creation was my spin on paella.
I remember making paella for the first time in college with my friends Michael and Cathy. We enjoyed a few too many High Lifes
and lost track of who was adding what spice to the dish. I think we
ended up with a ridiculously spicy creation that no amount of beer was
going to remedy.
I never made that mistake again.

For a busy weeknight or a lazy weekend, you can't beat a recipe that literally takes ten minutes from prep to serving. Most of us already have the ingredients needed for the sauce, and anything you might not have is usually easy even for the most grocery store-challenged man.

This is one of those great recipes to have on hand for those nights when you've forgotten to plan ahead for dinner. Using ingredients we usually always have on hand, this hamburger casserole also offers an alternative to the typical meals you can prepare with ground hamburger.

Cooking from Scratch

Growing up, my mother used to try to hide rutabaga gems in the pan
along with the roast, carrots, and potatoes. When I would wrinkle my
nose and stick out my tongue (blah) she would try to convince me that
it was actually a potato. There was no fooling me -- I know my potato;
and a rutabaga is not a potato. But I've also learned it doesn't mean
it can't be cooked like one.

Roasted butternut squash is like candy. Trust me, this is no hyperbole,
and it says a lot from a girl with a wicked sweet tooth like mine.
Butternut squash is a rare combination of healthy and tasty. You might
call it the "tastes great, less filling" Miller Lite of food.
We've been trying to eat more vegetarian dishes (nevermind Julia's
Boeuf Bourguignon I made over the weekend). At first I worried that
we'd turn into rabbits and tire of lettuce. Little did I know that
vegetarian cuisine could be so filling, diverse, tasty, and healthy. I
have two boys whose appetites are more fitting for children twice their
age. Every time I plan on having leftovers they boys dupe me and eat
every bite.

Cooking with Kids

One of my personal goals for 2010 is to spend more time "training"my
two young ladies and the first place I think of when I think training
is the kitchen. Preparing meals with my grandmother on Sundays and
baking cookies with the women of my family around Christmas time are
some of my fondest memories of growing up, not to mention a great part
of my training. Had it not been for the hours I stood mesmerized the
deftness with which my grandmother prepared a delicious meal for 7+
ravenous guests, I would not feel the comfort and peace I now feel in
the kitchen. This is a tradition I yearn to pass down to my daughters.
