Little Kaleb. Freshly born. Mommy and baby are fine, little brothers aren't too jealous, Daddy is very proud. Things are going to be a little crazy for the immediate future. The experimental wing of the kitchen has been shut down for a fortnight or two. Luckily we've been making a number of meals and freezing them, so feeding the clan should be pretty easy, even when we're so bleary-eyed that we can't read the numbers on the stove dials.
That doesn't mean the constant string of posts will stop. In preparation for the next four weeks of sleep deprivation and messed-up schedules, I've written a series of posts built around Italian cuisine. We'll start with a quick and easy marinara that's much, much better than the bottled sauces, and for the same or less money. And we'll incorporate that sauce into an number of classics, like a baked ziti, some stuffed shells, a great lasagna, and some Italian meatballs.
So even though we'll be focusing on the new baby for the next few weeks, you'll still get your recipe fix. Hope you enjoy them!
Congrats! How fun to have a leap day baby! I'd love to know what your favorite meals to freeze are.
ReplyDeleteI had another request for that on the Facebook page. I have some Mexican recipes coming in early April that work well too. So as soon as I have those posted, I'll list a top ten recipe list for the freezable/small effort meals, just for these sorts of occasions.
