The Kitchen Help has arrived. No more planning meals, creating shopping lists, running to the market or cleaning up dirty dishes. It’s what we’ve dreamed of… and if you're not fabulously wealthy, it is not really going to happen. Like most many some families in the US, we eat on a budget and we try to eat good food that is healthy. Organic for the dirty dozen (celery, carrots, lettuce, kale, peaches, pears, apples, nectarines, strawberries, imported grapes, cherries and bell peppers). Fresh from our CSA delivery (Virginia Green Grocer) and farmer's market weekly. So what you find in this (yet another food blog) is the meal planning, what we eat and how we make it. Most assuredly there will dishes and a kitchen to clean. (Though I probably won’t post pictures of the uncleaned dishes and kitchen.) Just remember this, The kitchen is the best place at many parties and the dinner table is a great meeting place every night of the week.
I remember these as a Christmas treat my grandmother would make, and every year when my wife asks what kind of cookies I want, I say Lemon Squares. She usually says... you're supposed to make those in February and they are called 'Lemon Love Notes'. Its a good thing I'm flexible and happy to eat them in February too. The recipe for these can be found in The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook by Deb Perelman . Her recipes are reliable and she takes better pictures. Check out her book for the details.
