Dutch Oven Week: Day 1

By: Stephanie3 Comments

dutch oven week

This week I am doing something a little bit different. It’s Dutch Oven Week! (I know, the name makes me giggle too. But this is not the kind of dutch oven where you trap your partner under the covers.) 

I’m featuring an entire line-up of one pot meals using my favorite pot, my Le Creuset dutch oven. Although I am partial to my Le Creuset, any dutch oven will do. I’ve also heard great things about the Lodge.

I have a few special guests planned for you later this week and I’m super excited to introduce you to some real-life friends of mine who also happen to be big foodies.

A certain reader (it’s my mom) has been bugging me to post more house tour pictures.

Since it’s Valentine’s day, I thought I would show you the space I share with my sweetie. So today we’re going to tour the master suite.

It’s not decorated yet. We don’t have any pictures on the walls and I have big plans for the wall behind the bed. I do really like it just the way it is, though. It’s one of the only toy-free spaces we have right now.

This is the view as you walk in the door. Eddie and I have been talking about taking silver Sharpies to the wall behind our bed and writing our memories from our past 14 years together all over it. I think it could be really cool, but I haven’t been brave enough to try it yet.  [Read more…]
