Demarle

suburbanmomcooks — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 05:01:26 +0000

The kids are starting school and I’ve been re-organizing my house (really, I’m just making a bigger mess) and I’ve fallen behind on my blogging. I’m going to focus on my Demarle pages so my wonderful customers have access to more product information and recipes. Go directly to my Demarle page… Coming soon: Updated Garden Page (the trees [...]

It’s about time

Go directly to my Demarle page… It’s about time I blogged again…life tends to get in the way of a perfectly nice blog. I’ve redone some of my links….Demarle and recipes but I’m still working on the others. Big learning curve… Took an amazing dairy class with Monique Dupre of sustainablebudget.com. Learned how to make yogurt, butter, [...]

We’re just back from a wonderful camping trip on the coast of Oregon. Two things one needs for a happy trip to the beach in Oregon, fleece and a kite. Thankfully we had both! I have a HUGE to-do list: Re-do all my links (finished with recipes, onto to my Demarle pages next…) Work on my Cost page Take [...]

*Site construction note: I haven’t yet mastered the art of links, so mostly my links won’t take you anywhere -yet. Be patient and check back, Thanks!* So, we are going camping tomorrow and I was planning the meals with 2 other Moms who just backed out of the trip! Alrighty then….now I get to do it [...]

The Missing Link

We had beef patties for dinner tonight. I used some leftover mashed potatoes and smashed beans with cheese plus I roasted some broccoli with leeks. I LOVE roasted broccoli! We picked blueberries today, so obviously we had some at dinner too. Yum. Splurged a bit by taking the kids to Burgerville for lunch. Feels like it’s [...]

Week 3 Starts…

I’m off to the grocery store on my bike today. The hardest part about getting there is getting past all the garage sales! I’m past the worry of last week and feeling good about our grocery budget. I found amazing fish at Costco; bought 5 meals worth of salmon (wild caught only!) and halibut (wild caught [...]

Day 21

suburbanmomcooks — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 04:54:58 +0000

Lovely dinner tonight. Poached chicken in the Flower Mold with the Octagonal Silpat, sauteed green beans, and a pot of organic long grain brown rice. Lots of leftovers. Very economical. We are doing great this week grocery-wise. I am up $15 because my DH bought the wrong bread and wrong beans at Trader Joes. He also [...]

Night out with the Girls

suburbanmomcooks — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 17:33:28 +0000

The kids are in bed, I finished my dinner and I indulged in a decadent piece of 73% dark chocolate with a nice glass of Merlot. Not a bad finish to the day. Time to blog… Last night I went out with the Girls. I caught up with some “old” girls and met some new ones. [...]

Catch Up (with Hot Dogs)

suburbanmomcooks — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 05:06:14 +0000

I’ve got some catching up to do. Here’s days 16-19. I’ve been obsessing over the grocery list. With only one day to go until my next shopping trip, last Saturday I revised The Menu and triple checked The List. I rode my bike to the grocery store Sunday morning. I stopped at the bookstore to pick up [...]

Day 15 One more day…!

suburbanmomcooks — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 06:16:29 +0000

Tonight I poached 2 chicken breast in my Demarle Fluted Square Mold. I sauteed some beautiful green beans with chopped sweet onions and garlic. Yum! I made a loaf of challah on my Silpat too. I didn’t give it enough time to rise so it wasn’t as fluffy as I like it to be. I [...]
