http://curioustulip.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

Thursday, January 8, 2015. Following recipes. A resolution. Here's what I did (and what not to do):. 1 lb boneless chuck cubed. 1 T butter (I used EarthBalance due to my dairy allergy). 3 large carrots, evenly chopped. 10 small fingerling potatoes, cut in half. 2 medium onions, quartered. 3 large celery stalks, chopped. 1 1/3 c. Beef broth. 1 1/3 c stout (I grabbed a large bottle of Guinness). 2 pieces of old bread. With drop biscuits and some broccolini on the side, we survived! View my complete profile.

Curious Tulips: Granola round 2

http://curioustulip.blogspot.com/2015/04/granola-round-2.html

Monday, April 6, 2015. Didn't use a recipe this time for granola, except to check oven time and temperature. I went through about 4-5 cups of granola in two weeks, the last 1-2 cups went to C so he could enjoy some too. Oven: 300 for about 35 minutes, stirring every 10 or so. 45 cups of oats. 1/2 c vegetable oil. 1/2 c honey (combination of conventional and my souvenir Scottish honey). 1/2 c sliced almonds. Dash of ground nutmeg. Dash of ground cloves. Might try with coconut oil next time. 30 pics 30 days.

Curious Tulips: Charm City Weekend

http://curioustulip.blogspot.com/2015/03/charm-city-weekend.html

Monday, March 2, 2015. Last weekend we headed up to Charm City to visit a friend and had a quick tour, so busy and fun that I didn't take photos. Plus it was cold so that detracts from wanting to take my hands out of my pockets or gloves (or both! Drove up for lunch on Saturday, she lives in the Mount Vernon neighborhood so we got a great tour. Started with awesome falafel at Shapiro's Cafe. Such a cute area along the waterfront! Around 5 we headed back to Mt. Vernon for dinner at City Cafe. Which is on ...

Curious Tulips: June 2014

http://curioustulip.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html

Saturday, June 28, 2014. APSI Reflection- #SummerLS Challenge 4. I'm also blogging this for the #SummerLS or summer learning series that is taking place through the twitter hashtag. If any fellow educators want to join in, look up Todd Nesloney on twitter and ask to join! Instead of 2 FRQs, students now write one long essay (the new name) that also mentions historical thinking skills, so we're going to have to specifically name and teach those with our kids so they understand what the questions are asking.

Curious Tulips: Some food lessons learned

http://curioustulip.blogspot.com/2015/02/some-food-lessons-learned.html

Saturday, February 21, 2015. Some food lessons learned. Directions on the bag of frozen salmon say cook from frozen, doesn't say anything about flipping the fish either. We tried that.miserable failure. The edges were over cooked, the inside still raw. Lesson learned, defrost your fish before cooking. But then the fish, while cooked, was soggy. Lesson #2: really dry that defrosted fish before baking. My friend Meghan is blogging. Did this with the salmon too, and it worked! And it was delicious as well, ...

Curious Tulips: Indian Vegetable Curry

http://curioustulip.blogspot.com/2015/03/indian-vegetable-curry.html

Tuesday, March 24, 2015. A friend of mine gave me a curry simmer sauce as a thank you gift for watching her cat while she was gone on a trip, and it was a surprise because I had assumed that all (or most) pre-made Indian food already had dairy in it. This one did not! I believe she found it at Trader Joe's. I had too many of those as a kid and don't want to become resistant), I decided to do a meatless Monday meal and add chickpeas instead of chicken. I realized that the veggies would saute at different ...

Curious Tulips: April 2014

http://curioustulip.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html

Saturday, April 5, 2014. End of the Vegan Challenge. I tried. I really did, but it was hard and so limiting especially eating out, and I already feel a bit like a burden with all my food allergy limitations so I didn't want to force it when out. So there were a couple times that I "cheated", like St. Patricks Day. So Friday night I officially ended the Vegan Challenge and Chris made. Steak! And it was delicious. Pat salt and pepper into both sides of the steak and let it rest for 30 minutes. One of the l...

Curious Tulips: Irish Apple Cake

http://curioustulip.blogspot.com/2015/03/irish-apple-cake.html

Tuesday, March 17, 2015. OMG you have to make this, it's probably even better as written with dairy. But because I can't have any dairy, we made a dairy free version, and let me tell you, the four of us all had at least 2 slices. I got the recipe for the Irish Apple Cake. From my friend's blog, she featured it as one of her Friday Fancies. Everything else was the same for the cake and into the oven it went to cook while we enjoyed the salmon. We could smell it as it finished, so delicious! High School So...
