Lost in the Shuffle – Spring Flowers and Cooking at Home

Sometimes images get lost in the shuffle and surface later on down the line.  These spring flowers, coincidentally, were shot in my yard and neighborhood almost a year ago exactly.  The photos of the food below were taken about 6 weeks ago.  The only reason that I found them is because Taryn said, “where are those photos from our dinner last month?”  Otherwise, I never would have even looked for them!  They were found on some random card tucked away in my backup card wallet.  Finding photos like these reminds me of how important it is to keep organized and on top of my workflow.  I hope you enjoy these lost photos…..

Sacramento Foodie | Cooking at home, A Random Assortment

Okay,  so I know this post is a bit dis-jointed but I wanted to share a few things…..  We go from my cat greeting me in the morning from her usual spot to my new favorite breakfast to a couple of dinners over the past week or so.  Enjoy!

My new breakfast obsession:  Coconut milk oatmeal with dried cranberries, vanilla and shaved coconut.  I tweaked the recipe quite a bit but I got the idea from Vanilla Garlic.

Glenn’s favorite go to beer…..

 

Spinach and arugula salad topped with lots of crunchy veggies….

 

My new way with roast chicken:  Bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour covered and then uncover for 15 to 30 minutes.  The result?  Super moist meat and crispy skin.  I roasted this free-range bird with carrots, celery, onion and peeled potatoes.  YUM!

 

We tried this dish while we were on one of our veggie cleanses:  Roasted acorn squash stuffed with sauteed mushrooms, sweet potato and carrot “fries” and sauteed zucchini.  These squash are so beautiful!
