Really, just spontaneous lunch today.
Had some noodles and no sauce.
Cooked down some milk, shredded parm, cream cheese, and ground pepper. Gave some herbs and a clove of garlic a steam for a bit.
Plated it with chopped basil.
It was pretty dang tasty.

Here is some pasta primavera we had the other night, with mostly homegrown veggies and Red Lobster biscuits. 

I come from under the hill, and under the hills and over the hills my paths led.  And through the air, I am she that walks unseen.

Hey, I've had my fair share of ramen!  ;)

My sister Haley, the one who has the goats, decided to make chocolate chip muffins the other day because she "never gets them".  :D  She doesn't really bake, but she can follow a recipe, and she found one she liked the look of and gave it a shot, with some pointers from our mom.  They turned out phenomenally, actually better than the muffins that my mom makes.  ;D  I went to the river with Dad and the little kids, and when we came back she had free samples out for us to try.

That's nice.  She made be inspired to try other things to bake.  Sometimes it only takes one success to encourage other inspirations.  There are a lot of good cooks out there that never bake.  It's a skill.

Grilled pterodactyl wings with hot honey. Potato salad for the side.
The flames just did start to get sporty when I took them off.

Were the pterodactyls wild caught or farm raised? :P

It was kinda like a quail preserve.  They raise them in a pen and turn them out, but then you go out with the dogs and shoot them like you’re hunting. It’s good for the dogs.

On the way to one of my apiaries is a great meat market.  I picked up a pound of Italian Sausage and made this for dinner last night.  This is one of those one pan dinners and very easy but it was expensive because I bought all the ingredients.  This is Italian Sausage, gnocchi, one can of diced tomatoes (drained), broccoli, yellow pepper, minced garlic and  onion.  After seasoning the gnocchi and vegetables with a little bit of olive oil, italian seasoning, crushed red pepper, salt & Pepper you spread it out onto a baking pan. Then dot the top of the mix with uncooked Italian Sausage.  Bake for 20 minutes at 450 F.  Remove from oven and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

I would think any garden vegetables could be substituted for the veggies.

YUM!  I bet that was delicious, and as you say, a very versatile recipe.

Your welcome anytime, Jen!  Even though I cook (really cook) less and less as time goes by, I still like trying new things.  I find myself cooking family sized meals and eating leftovers for a while.  My husband is still suffering the effects of radiation treatments on his throat and doesn't eat enough solid food to feed a bird.

WANT!! 

We recently discovered a new hors d'oeuvres that we are all addicted to now.  We fermented some lunchbox peppers my mom grew over the summer, and then we stuff the fermented peppers with my sister's goat cheese.  It's divine!  Here's a picture of one with a fridge pickle.

Not sure what a lunchbox pepper is, but I’ve been eating a lot of pickled cherry peppers in salads lately.
