barefoot in the kitchen

One of the things that makes me feel at home is getting to cook.  We've been in our house for a couple of months now, and I've loved cooking in our new kitchen.

Here are some of our favorite recipes from the end of summer and beginning of fall:

• Twice Baked Butternut Squash- we have it at least once a year during the fall!
• White Chocolate and Cranberry Biscotti- yum! maybe would halve the almond extract next time
• Orzo with Roasted Vegetables- our old stand by.  We love making this with farmer's market veggies
• Fried Quiche- another good farmer's market meal and a quick and easy one at that! ...And we subbed spinach for the dandelion greens (obviously)
• Dittalini Pasta Salad- a light and summer salad
• Baked Tacos- another standby when needing a make-ahead meal,  Andrew adores it
• Thai Chicken Salad- so good! We love edamame and A loves crunchy textures. 
• Restaurant Style Salsa- we needed a change up from the usually black bean and corn salsa!

And because I can't help it, here are a few pictures of the boys lately!  Mom came to visit all last week since A is in South Africa (only 2 more days until he's home!).
