I'm sorry - I'm here!

Hi blogger friends!  I apologize for not posting much this week.  Work is crazy, house hunting is crazy - life is crazy!  I've been cooking, but nothing to write home about hehe;)  I'm hoping next week to at least get you 3 new recipes and a couple other random blog posts - what do you want to read about??  You tell me:)

Sorry again - don't forget about me during this crazy busy time!

Update! Veggie Tart recipe from the motha!

Enjoy - I don't know where she got it from, but it's amazing!  I can't wait to make it A LOT this summer!

SUMMER VEGETABLE TART

Olive oil spray
Ready to bake pie crust, or home made 9" crust.
1 tomato
1 zucchini, sliced
1 summer squash, sliced
mushrooms
Sliced carrots
Sliced onions
1 cup goat cheese
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp dried rosemary
1/4 tsp salt, or to taste
1/8 tsp black pepper, or to taste

In a 9" tart pan, bake crust, unfilled, according to pkg directions.  Let cool.

Preheat oven to 375.  Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Place zucchini, squash, mushrooms, sliced carrots, & sliced onions on baking sheet and lightly coat with cooking spray.  Bake until tender, about 20 minutes.  Remove & let cool.

Mix together goat cheese, herbs, salt & pepper in a small bowl.  Spread evenly over tart crust.

Starting at center of crust and working outward, arrange slightly overlapping, alternating rings of vegetables until crust is completely covered.  Add a few slices of tomato at this point.  Return to oven until heated through, 5-10 minutes.  I also sprinkle a little goat cheese over the top of all the vegetables.


Oh, and if you're wondering, we celebrated our fave team, the Red Sox, tonight with steamed hotdogs - fancy dinner huh?;)  Hey, we were celebrating the Sox, Fenway, everything we love about baseball, etc.  Can't wait until we go to our first game of the season next Friday!


Any other Sox fans out there??

Can I post an entire blog during a DWTS commercial break?

I'm challenging myself!  Pretty easy since we had enchiladas tonight (following the box directions), leftover buffalo chicken dip, and leftover veggie tart the motha made for Easter lunch/dinner.  The motha, when you see this, please post your veggie tart recipe:)

Is anyone else in a chocolate or jelly bean fog yet??

Happy Easter, everyone!

Woohoo, what a great day/weekend!  I hope everyone had as great an Easter as the husband and I did - it's always great to visit with fam on a beautiful day, and beat that family at Catch the 5 ;)  And the motha made an awesome Ham, or Hamarama as the husband and I have been calling it, late lunch/early dinner, with amazing cannoli's that my dad and brother picked up yesterday.  Couldn't have asked for a better day!  Did I mention I got some Cadbury hard eggs and black jelly beans - yes!  AND it's Red Sox Opening Day, well night - Beckett better get it together, though!

Aww, such a wonderful day!  Paired with looking at more houses yesterday, a nice Easter Vigil and dinner out last night with friends, it couldn't have been better!  Can you believe tomorrow is already Monday, eek!

I have to watch my Sox, so no recipe tonight, but I'll link you to the appetizer I made and post a picture of the dessert - my brother ate 3 of them in one sitting, so I think they were okay;)

Buffalo chicken appetizer

Yes, they are on a Christmas plate...I ran out of room on my cupcake plate!:)  It was my first time dying coconut, so I apologize for some of the darker green coconut - that is more St. Patty's day:)

What was your favorite part of your Easter weekend?  Do you have any traditions that you follow every year?  What did you make?

PS - please Red Sox start playing better - and I'm so happy I just saw the Giant Glass man - I always look for him in his seat:)   Do you have a fave baseball team??
