I love that you have this blog! Can I put a request into the chef? ;) You said on facebook that you guys are eating mainly (or only, can't remember) meatless dishes. I have wanted to cook more in that direction but have a really hard time finding good recipes. Would you be able to put up quite a few of those for your favorite sister-in-law? (jk about that last part. hehe) Or email would be great too if you prefer that. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI came here to post my own comment but have to 2nd what my sister said first. Funny how we are all moving (or trying to move) in this direction right now!
ReplyDeleteWhat I did come to actually say though was I sure wish Nathan liked squash. I love the stuff. I may have to make this and leave him to his own devices one night!

The cool thing about this, is the squash is masked by my yummy sauce. Have him at least try it, I think he might like it.
