It’s embarrassing how little I cook these days; I’m lucky if I can whip up a batch of pasta and have time to add a few bay leaves to the Trader Joe’s sauce. Who knew that doing all the reading for all my classes this semester would take up so much time?
It certainly doesn’t help that Deb of Smitten Kitchen has been on a hot streak lately, posting a series of hearty fall dishes for my eyes to feast on while my tummy rumbles. As a result, I’ve built up quite a backlog of recipes to try:
Apple and Cheddar scones
Mushroom lasagna
This one’s raving review had my mouth watering.
Roasted eggplant soup
Perfect blueberry muffins
Beef chili + sour cream and cheddar biscuits
Damn her gorgeous photography and appeal to comfort food! I will have to leave the books to go grocery shopping soon.

Well, it’s looking like I need to head to the grocery store also. Damn her and her gorgeous photos!
