From the Harvest Table

Breakfast leftovers

 With St. Patrick’s Day over what do you do with the left-over corned beef? Well if you live with Sharon you must make corned beef hash. 
 When I make corned beef a couple of times a year I have to make enough so that we have a little left for hash. 
 If you have ever eaten the stuff that comes in a can it is way too salty and the potatoes are mush. 
 With the recent events there is a ton of corned beef for sale right now and it is getting cheaper.

Doing for others

 I often ask myself, am I doing enough to make my life fulfilling? This past weekend I was able to help a friend and someone I had never met before. I helped Carlos at Legends on Main do a fundraiser helping an employee going through a tough medical journey. 
 I have heard a lot of amazing stories about this lady and how she puts everyone else’s needs ahead of her own. The turnout was great with the help of a very generous donation by John and Trish of Sears Hometown in Ontario.

Busy moms

 Last week I was approached about doing meal prep for a friend. I thought why not, I know my way around a kitchen and in a professional kitchen prep is the name of the game. 
 My sister was on one of those weight loss programs and lost about 85 pounds in a year. She told me the secret is food prep. Prepping your meals for the week so you are not tempted to just surrender to whatever is convenient when you get home from work.

This is the season

 I don’t know about everyone else in the area, but how many seasons does Idaho have in a week? I haven’t really had the bug to cook a whole lot. I called my sister who reminded me that it is Mardi Gras season back home in Louisiana. She was making gumbo this past weekend for the season.
 I decided to make the traditional bread for the season on Sunday. I planned on making one of these for the Crab Feed coming up in April as a dessert to be auctioned off, so I thought I should give it a test run. 

Nothing better than from scratch

 With a sunny, beautiful weekend under our belts you can feel the first inklings of spring in the air. I noticed I had a couple of my bulbs starting to sprout in the yard and felt the warm sun on my face in the afternoon on Sunday. 
 Sharon and I took off to Memorial Park to do some training with Groot, my 9-month-old puppy. The wind was a little chilly but we enjoyed the afternoon.
 When we got home that evening, I felt like a nice light pasta dish would do the trick for dinner. Now if you have never made pasta from scratch you are in for treat. 

Let someone else pick

 This past week has been double duty for me. I have helped at the candy shop for Valentine’s Day and in the evenings I have headed over to Legends on Main to help my friend Carlos for a couple of weeks. 
 It has been nice to work on a line again and the fast pace restaurant work that I fell in love with many years ago. I haven’t really worked a line other than the sandwich line at the shop in many years and forgot the rush you get from the tickets just filling up in a 15-minute span.

Not the norm

 Sunday was the big game and for me it did not disappoint. Glad the winning team did such a great job in the fourth quarter. 
 Super Bowl Sunday is also known for all the different foods that people make to snack on during the game. It is another one of those unofficial holidays where people gather to enjoy each other’s company and find a little common or rivalrous ground to cheer on their team.

Rain, rain go away

 I don’t know about your weekend, but I spent most of mine in the house. The weather sure hampered any adventuring outside. 
 Saturday morning, Sharon and I headed out to do a little beginner yoga with Nicole. We started this earlier in the month as a way of doing something together every week and it has been fun for both of us. 
 Normally throughout the week I will get recipes added to a Pinterest page that we share. It is really nice to have a confident cook in the house that is willing to try everything.

Completing the meal

 Championship Sunday is in the books. We had a great time at the Lazy Bear Ranch and were able to share the day with people that have supported Tim and I earlier in the football season. 
 I decided to just put up an all-you-can-eat buffet on Sunday with a taco bar. I wanted more than just plain old tacos, so I went all out and made traditional carne asada with a 6 day marinade and pork al pastor, which for some reason everyone thought was chicken.

Cold weather eats

This past weekend was  yucky outside with the weather having a hard time deciding what it wanted to do. Rain, sleet, snow all occurred right outside my door this weekend. 
 To help with the dreariness, I headed to the kitchen for a little comfort food. This time of year, it is all about soups, stews, and warm filling meals. Earlier in the week Sharon asked for chili and it was good.
