The Weekend Dish: 10/14/2017
It’s Saturdayyyyyyy!
This week totally kicked my butt between a broken laptop, a rough night of sleep due to Joseph’s seasonal allergies, unscheduled pediatrician visits, and errands galore, that I collapsed onto the couch last night and cried uncle. (I may have also eaten a couple of cookies.) Did you watch any scary movies last night since it was Friday the 13th? I’m a big baby and can’t stand horror movies; I think the Scream series and The Blair Witch Project did me in as a teenager.
What do you have planned for the weekend? I’m hoping to regroup today and catch up on life and do a little kitchen stuff.
As always, you’ll find a recap of what was posted to the site this week, the most shared recipes, my Sunday dinner menu, and recipes I’ve bookmarked from other blogs. Enjoy!

This is one of the best posts on stocking your freezer with meals before having a baby. Great ideas if you’re pregnant or know someone who is, or someone who may have just had surgery, or are just in a busy season of life. Great recipes and tips!
Cannot wait to make Vietnamese caramel pork for dinner one night!
White chocolate peppermint fudge because, in my world, it’s never too early to start thinking about Christmas!

Have a delicious weekend!
Chocolate chip meringue cookies, wow, had never seen them before, love it and all of these other links, thank you!
I love Ina Garten recipes, she is a great go to for a party. Tonight we are having a dinner party and I am making her Provencal Fish Stew with Sriracha Rouille. Yesterday I did my favorite bit of organized cooking, mis en place….which made making the stew base SO MUCH easier, when prepping lots of ingredients. I line them up in order on a sheet pan before I start any cooking. I baked baguettes and peasant bread this morning, had homemade Meyer lemon sorbet in the freezer and my madeleines. Not much more to do but finish off the stew, slice and toast the baguettes, make a last minute green salad, and I am good to go.
Yes the unpredictability on life. Â Hope your weekend is a little calmer!
Today I am  taking  a Glass Fusion Class to make a Halloween themed plate – super excited to try this.  Some kitchen reorganization and yard work (now that it is no longer hot and humid in October!) also on the agenda.  No baking this weekend but some birthday cake baking later in the week.
Have a great weekend Michelle!
