Burnt-Butter Brown-Sugar Cupcakes

For Colleen's birthday we made Nigella Lawson's Burnt-Butter Brown-Sugar Cupcakes from How to be a Domestic Goddess.  So good.  Like maybe the best cupcakes ever.

Frozen CSA

The first delivery our frozen CSA arrived last week.   We will receive five deliveries this winter.  Our share included sweet corn, butternut squash puree, green beans, blueberries, tomatoes and fresh pea shoots grown at farms around the Hudson Valley then frozen and distributed by Winter Sun Farms.

Freezer Meals

Putting up a few dinners was hands down the best thing I did before Little Miss arrived.  My mini frozen stash includes: lasagna primavera, minestrone, caldo verde, basil vegetable soup and lentil coconut stew.  Not a ton of food, but enough to take the edge off of cooking with a newborn.
