Lamb Chops with Pomegranate Gremolata and Carrot Goat Cheese Mash

January 28, 2015 by theeverykitchen@gmail.com Leave a Comment

Remember when I explained that serious professional bloggers celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas months early? Can we now consider me a serious professional blogger because Lamb Chops with Pomegranate Gremolata is my way of celebrating Valentine’s day 2+ weeks early? Please friends? Miss Danielle the Serious Professional. It has a ring to it.

I know you’re all wondering… How is Miss Danielle the Serious Professional celebrating Valentine’s Day in January if she has recently had to re-brand her blog My Bottomless Ex-Boyfriend? How is it that someone who is an ex-girlfriend is celebrating a day of lllloooovvveee before all the other people who are ACTUALLY IN LOVE?

I know it’s January 18 and New Years Resolutions are supposed to be 18 days underway, but… not if your name is Danielle.

Maybe that will be my first Resolution: GET IT TOGETHER DANIELLE.

Veggie & Beef Meatballs Marinara

It’s come to my attention that “professional” bloggers celebrate Thanksgiving in September and Christmas in October.

WELL. Obviously I missed the boat on Thanksgiving. But I believe that there are people out there — people like me — people who wait until the very last second to do anything — that have not picked out this year’s Christmas cookies yet.

↑ If this is you ↑, I got your back. Starting Sunday, I’m doing 7 Days of Christmas Cookies. You might want to start a sugar sabbatical now, so your sweet teeth are ready when next week hits.

(Are there any requests? Any cookie recipe you need me to experiment with for you? Let me know. I’ll try!)

Fall Kale Salad with Pesto Chicken

Mom made pesto and I used that to marinate the chicken, Shout out to her — thaaaaanks Mooooom! 🙂

I just spent four amazing days at the 2014 Food & Nutrition Conference and Expo. I packed one bag and came home with four. My bags are full of education materials and handouts, lots of food samples and kitchen utensils, and a couple of free cookbooks.

And that’s only the stuff I took home. I also ingested a fancy free dinner, a few gratis happy hours, a lot of education sessions, and a freakin’ ton of new food products. I met new friends, made industry contacts, swapped lots of business cards, and came home with some creative ideas for my career.

It all started with a date night to Mission Pizza and this sausage:

Stop reading right now,
Get out your car keys,
Drive to Mission,
And eat some sausage.

Promise to finish reading this later?

Sriracha Chicken Salad with Lime Vinaigrette

Now that Labor Day festivities are over, time to refuel with green veggies. I browsed a bunch of blog sites several days ago to find salad recipes and came to a couple of conclusions: (1) Kale is trending and (2) I’m scared of it. So this is Sriracha Chicken Salad with Lime Vinaigrette and Not With Kale.

Grilled Buffalo Chicken Salad

I’ve been on a weeklong hiatus because I went to New York and became a Godmomma! What I’ve decided: When you have an infant, every task becomes a superhuman feat. I couldn’t pour syrup on my waffles Sunday morning. Actually, I couldn’t even get the waffle on my plate. Babies are definitely a two-handed job. Big props to all the cooking and/or blogging mommas out there with babes and tots on their hands!

My vacation was full of celebratory food and drink — that’s how my family does it. Then yesterday, the BBF and I went for a nice evening to celebrate our 13 months together (we missed month 12!), which included more celebratory food and drink. Hence, the salad for dinner this evening.
