Jane:
We've begun a new tradition - Erik cooks on the weekends! So far, the plan is a huge hit all around. Jane gets more time to sew and hide out in her art room, and Erik gets to experiment in the kitchen and try out his own swing on recipes. Meredith continues to happily toddler around the kitchen with Daddy...and sometimes takes matters into her own hands and feet by climbing up to the 3rd floor in search of Mama. :)
Tonight's menu: hummus pizza and a scrumptious salad. I'll let Erik fill you in on the details. :)
Erik:
I started with a base of olive oil, sprinkled with salt, pepper and rosemary. After a layer of hummus, I spread chopped yellow pepper, mushrooms and apples. Then topped off with a squeeze of lemon juice and cheese (feta on one half, on colby the other).
Other weekend endeavors included Chai Muffins (a wonderful side to eggs in the morning), Apple-Walnut Pancakes, and a Carrot Raisin salad with the addition of apples, cinnamon and lemon juice.
All this was primed by crisp weather and a free schedule - both necessary ingredients for cooking to be enjoyed at its fullest. And for a fine finish - a 2007 Château Perron (a red bordeaux blend) from Lalande de Pomerol in France.
