Back in the saddle

It's been so long since I posted!

The last 3 weeks of cooking included:

-brussels sprouts and cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving
-pepperoni pizza
-chocolate chip cookies
-potato leek soup
-spinach and feta pizza

My cranberry sauce recipe is: wash cranberries, microwave lightly covered on high for 5-8 minutes with a half cup of sugar. Stir, cool, enjoy. So easy.

I had a lot of spinach leftover from the pizza, and a leek leftover from the soup, and the internet delivered the perfect solution: Creamy Leek and Spinach Pasta. The only ingredient I didn't have was the herbed soft cheese, and then lo and behold, 3/4 of a wheel of Boursin was leftover from a late afternoon meeting I was tasked with cleaning up. I wilted the spinach a bit in the pan, and loved how it turned out. I will be adding this recipe to the rotation, as I am currently enjoying the leftovers.

I have the urge to make ginger snaps... Perhaps tomorrow. I have also rediscovered the joy of putting egg nog in my coffee. Can't believe it's December, but it does have it's perks.
