ONE-POT TORTELLINI WITH PROSCIUTTO AND PEAS I know I sound like a dinosaur when I admit to getting two newspapers a day along with weekly news sources. In today’s world, I am calmer when I can read my news digested and presented without the “drama” of the moment. The other bonus is finding outstanding recipe ideas like the One-Pot Tortellini with Prosciutto and Peas from our friends @nytimes. It was so easy, and I really cooked everything in one pot. Other than chopping the shallot, I did not have to pull out another thing. I started by cooking the prosciutto until crisp. I removed the prosciutto, so it did not overcook, but used the fat to cook the shallots. Once the shallots softened, it was a matter of adding the rest of the ingredients into the pan which included the peas, cheese tortellini, chicken broth, heavy cream, nutmeg, and zest and juice of half a lemon. I covered the pot but stirred frequently watching in amazement as the tortellini cooked in the sauce. I added the prosciutto back to the ingredients and served up a delicious pasta in less than thirty minutes. Perfect! #supportstl #stlfoodie #stlfoodies #carondelet #carondeletliving #carondeletkitchen #carondeletgarden #supercoololdpeople #bekind #kindness #simpleordinarylives #nytimescooking

(What newsletter do I need to subscribe to so I learn about these things before they're almost over? I'd fire my marketing department, but I'd be firing myself.) Happy #IndieApril, the month to celebrate Independent Authors, Artists, Musicians, and others who create to the beat of their own drums. We—yes, I'm one of them making up the percussion section—do our best to bring you high-quality work, and it means the world to us when we know you're enjoying it. In the few days left in this month, try out a new indie-published author, seek out local music, or visit an #IndependentBookstore this Saturday (4/27) as they celebrate. You'll be helping to build a more vibrant, creative world (and one in which I may actually HAVE a marketing department someday).

BEWARE THE KITCHEN LOBSTER! I overheard Big Guy saying our new pup has a box full of toys but prefers to play with boxes and used plastic flowerpots. I realize this sounds just like a human baby too! The other day, with five toys on the floor, Big Guy noticed I had tucked Mr. Lobster in the pocket of my apron. He found it humorous especially knowing I would never cook a real lobster in my kitchen. I explained that I put it there so Bonny would not start squeaking it since it was INCREDIBLY early in the morning. Thanks to @madelineaubree for finding this treasure as it is her favorite toy. I better buy more food related toys so I can begin Bonny’s training to be my sous chef!

MEET BONNY DOON Yes, we did it again! Big Guy and I talked at length about getting another pup, but as my FIL used to say, “there is never a perfect time, and if you wait, you will never do it.” So, we adopted our “beloved beautiful baby” and have not regretted a moment. In fact, I am working on being present since this is the first time I have been able to really watch my puppy grow without being distracted by work obligations. I know I will sound like a dog “mom” when I say she is smart and has already mastered our back steps. She is even helping around the house by picking up flowerpots in the garden and supervising my cooking in the kitchen. Big Guy is claiming her as his garden dog, but I am hopeful she will love to be in the kitchen too! #supportstl #stlfoodie #stlfoodies #carondelet #carondeletliving #carondeletkitchen #carondeletgarden #supercoololdpeople #bekind #kindness #simpleordinarylives #bonnydoonthegardendoodle

THE GREAT SAINT LOUIS RESTAURANT TOUR: HODAK’S Oh, the shame of it all! Big Guy and I have passed by @hodaksstl and consistently commented we should stop by for lunch or dinner. We finally stopped and we were instantly sorry it took us so long to experience their outstanding food. Now, before my IG friends call me out, my FIL used to go there every Friday for lunch with his co-workers. I am confident the afternoons spent there were fun affairs with copious amounts of food and beer consumption. As new converts, I promise we will return soon to this friendly and welcoming restaurant. The food was outstanding with the price of the food unbelievably reasonable. I have leftovers so you know I will be dreaming up at least two alternate recipes to reuse my chicken! #supportstl #stlfoodie #stlfoodies #carondelet #carondeletliving #carondeletkitchen #carondeletgarden #supercoololdpeople #bekind #kindness #simpleordinarylives #hodaks #friedchicken

DEVILED EGGS Big Guy’s family has a history of serving deviled eggs for Easter. It was certainly foreign to me as my family dyed the carton of eggs and hid them around the house. I have come to learn to appreciate and like deviled eggs as I tend to make them at Big Guy’s request. I checked out and was amused when I read the “his” and “hers” version of deviled eggs from @trishayearwood. Ms. Yearwood likes sweet pickle relish in her eggs whereas Garth Brooks adds a tablespoon of softened butter. After a head-to-head challenge, Big Guy and I are on Team Trisha. The only “improvement” to this recipe is a small piece of candied bacon on top. Yum! #supportstl #stlfoodie #stlfoodies #carondelet #carondeletliving #carondeletkitchen #carondeletgarden #supercoololdpeople #bekind #kindness #simpleordinarylives #deviledeggs

KENTUCKY BOURBON BUTTER CAKE I am working to rotate my favorite desserts during the holiday season. Since I knew my apple pie fan was not coming home for Easter, I opted to make my Kentucky Bourbon Butter Cake. I was sure it would become a classic with the family, especially when I saw large slices being passed along the table. One family member took such a large piece, we teased him that the serving size was for two…one for him and the rest for the family. Good times and a great laugh with a request to make another one for Christmas. I can deal with that request along with a special order from @vickinorthrop! #supportstl #stlfoodie #stlfoodies #carondelet #carondeletliving #carondeletkitchen #carondeletgarden #supercoololdpeople #bekind #kindness #simpleordinarylives #kentuckybuttercake

PRALINES Is there anything more Southern than pralines packed with pecans? I am sure there will be a thousand responses of other Southern desserts that should be in the top ten list, but pralines are my Kryptonite. Like @auntieannespretzels, I would get off the plane in Atlanta and follow the smell of the cooking pralines @savcandy. I turned into the kid in the candy store and bought too many for my return trip home every time. Now that I am off the road, I have turned to Julia Reed and her recipe for pralines. How can you go wrong with six ingredients? The mix of dark brown sugar, sugar, evaporated mild, pecans, butter, and vanilla, was saved thanks to the quick action of my Big Guy when the battery died in my candy thermometer!

QUINOA ON THE SIDE I have been revisiting my old recipes. While Big Guy was still working, he loved to have quinoa loaded with vegetables for his lunch. He was always busy looking after his students in the library and something light and quick was the perfect snack to keep him fueled for the day. The recipe originally appeared in the @aarp magazine as a favorite of past President Clinton. Politics aside, it was a simple recipe of quinoa, cucumber, tomato, red and green onion, cilantro, jalapeño, olive oil, and lemon juice. Big Guy is NOT a fan of cucumber, so I subbed in roasted red pepper which turned out to be the perfect substitution. While he no longer eats on the run, I still like to pull this recipe out as a healthy side dish with chicken or steak. It is the perfect lead into summer! #supportstl #stlfoodie #stlfoodies #carondelet #carondeletliving #carondeletkitchen #carondeletgarden #supercoololdpeople #bekind #kindness #simpleordinarylives

DEHYDRATOR I love to shop @macys especially when I get star money and additional discounts. I had told Big Guy that I have too many kitchen appliances, but like his plants, we can always make room for one more, right? We decided to use our bounty of discounts to purchase a @cuisinart dehydrator. I have never used one, but the idea of having lemons and oranges handy to add to my tea sounded like a fun experiment. Once I opened the box, I realized I could use this baby for herbs and proteins as well. It opened my mind to so many possibilities! I started with my lemons and oranges to break it in. Granted, I only did one tray, but the surprise was the time it took to truly get the slices in the perfect state. I know the experienced folks out there will chuckle, but it took eight hours. It was a good thing I had writing and gardening to keep me busy while this appliance did its work! #supportstl #stlfoodie #stlfoodies #carondelet #carondeletliving #carondeletkitchen #carondeletgarden #supercoololdpeople #bekind #kindness #simpleordinarylives

SPINACH SALAD Big Guy has romaine and spinach lettuce growing in the cold frame, but I became impatient for the taste of summer. I stopped by the store and picked up spinach and pears so I could make my version of a spinach salad. I realize “my” is a big term, when I am sure there are those who make it the same way. I enjoy a simple salad with pears, light on the red onion, a tablespoon of bacon bits, parmesan cheese and dressed with a vinegarette dressing. I opted to mix my olive oil and vinegar with a heaping tablespoon of strawberry preserves to kick up the flavor. It was the perfect way to remind me of the fresh food coming our way from the Carondelet Garden. #supportstl #stlfoodie #stlfoodies #carondelet #carondeletliving #carondeletkitchen #carondeletgarden #supercoololdpeople #bekind #kindness #simpleordinarylives #spinachsalad

BACK TO BAKING Big Guy and I are both big readers, so it is always a good day when we find a book that we cannot put down. The book in question is “Mrs. Quinn’s Rise to Fame” by Olivia Ford. The story is delightful and tells the story of Jenny Quinn and her decision to secretly apply as a contestant on Britain Bakes on the cusp of her diamond wedding anniversary. If you are a fan of The Great British Bake Off, you will certainly enjoy this book. In fact, it got me thinking about getting back to baking in my own kitchen. Big Guy was thrilled as I baked a batch of shortbread and pecan sandies.

HOMEMADE ICE CREAM We were watching a cooking show and homemade ice cream was on the menu. Big Guy and I started talking about making ice cream as kids churning our arms off wondering if the effort would be worth it. Yes, of course it was fantastic! Flash forward to today, we again wondered with the plethora of kitchen appliances how an ice cream machine could work into the Carondelet Kitchen. Well, we did it again. We bought a @cuisinart ice cream maker, and it is magic. We decided to make butter pecan ice cream as our first foray into using this new “fangled” machine. I do not wish to draw back the curtain, but you do have to plan to make this ice cream as you need time for the freezing bowl to set in the freezer and the ingredients need time to cool together in the refrigerator. Once everything was cool and ready, it was so easy. You poured in the ingredients and twenty minutes later we were eating ice cream. It was SO good and will certainly become a staple in our cozy Carondelet cottage. #supportstl #stlfoodie #stlfoodies #carondelet #carondeletliving #carondeletkitchen #carondeletgarden #supercoololdpeople #bekind #kindness #simpleordinarylives

MERB'S CANDIES My poor Easter basket fell apart years ago, but that does not mean I will not get my candy. I do not mean candy from the grocery store, but from another hidden gem of a candy store in Saint Louis. Yes, it was time for our Easter bunny visit to @merbscandiesstl. Merb’s has been around since 1921 and is a staple in the Dutchtown neighborhood where Big Guy and I lived when we first got married. The third generation of family members own and operate this specialty store and take pride in creating delicious handmade candies. The variety of chocolate bunnies, marshmallow eggs, jellybeans, and the usual bags of treats you come to expect for Easter were awe inspiring as we took in our surroundings. I know my sugar count will skyrocket, so do not request a blood sugar test, but it is one time of year I get giddy eating my sweet treats with no regrets! #supportstl #stlfoodie #stlfoodies #carondelet #carondeletliving #carondeletkitchen #carondeletgarden #supercoololdpeople #bekind #kindness #simpleordinarylives

HERCULANEUM AND CRYSTAL CITY DAY TRIPPING Big Guy and I watch gardening shows and constantly get ideas for new things to put into the garden. On a recent episode, the gardener, @alysf, recycled an old tub to use for her strawberries and blueberries. An idea was born to find an old tub, or new. We started by heading out to Buchheit in Herculaneum to check out the shapes and sizes of new tubs. It was an effective way to get our heads wrapped around our goal. As we were already “next door” to Crystal City, we decided to check out their antiques stores as well. When in Rome? As they were all on the same road, we stopped by Clastique, the Rusty Rooster Mercantile, and Myles of Pickins. We loved the outdoor “photo shops” at Clastique drawing us into the store. The stores were all stocked to the brim, but nothing tempted us this time. I can hear my wallet sighing with relief! #supportstl #stlfoodie #stlfoodies #carondelet #carondeletliving #carondeletkitchen #carondeletgarden #supercoololdpeople #bekind #kindness #simpleordinarylives

FRENCH ONION CHICKEN POT PIE I feel like I have been relying on quick meals or going out lately thanks to this streak of glorious weather. The itch to get my fingers into the dirt to prepare the garden with my Big Guy has really been a driving force behind my food choices. Lo and behold, we got a small front of cooler weather, so I was ready to jump back into the kitchen. When not looking at his garden magazines, Big Guy has been reading recipes to me from @foodandwine. He read about French Onion Chicken Pot Pie, and we were both ready to tackle this layered meal. I would not say this recipe was difficult, but it did require time. The part I really liked was the author of the recipe, Jasmine Smith, created the steps in order so there were no moments of stress. As the chicken was baking, she suggested cooking the onions along with baking off the puffed pastry circles at the same time. It was a matter of having the remaining ingredients mise en place to layer in the flavor in the same pan used for cooking the onions. The last step was placing the puff pastry circle on top and baking off cheese on top. It was the perfect Sunday afternoon meal. #supportstl #stlfoodie #stlfoodies #carondelet #carondeletliving #carondeletkitchen #carondeletgarden #supercoololdpeople #bekind #kindness #simpleordinarylives

Happy 314 Day St. Louis!! We are so thankful for all of the St. Louis businesses that we get to print for! Check out a few from this week! #314day #stl314 #314together #supportstl #supportsmallbusiness #supportlocal #stlprinting #smallbusinesssupport #smallbusinessstl
03.14.2024 | Thursday in Lent Happy #314Day Saint Louis! It's dark and ominous out in the Carondelet Garden on this mid-March morning. It may not be officially Spring yet, but the weather is certainly Spring-like with thunderstorm watches and warnings issued for most of the morning. The sirens have already gone off this morning warning of potential storms. It's definitely Springtime in Saint Louis! Spring has sprung here in the Carondelet Garden to be sure. Our Peony survived! This poor plant has suffered had the hands of this old gardener. I've moved it twice because of location. I must be honest, last Fall I did not have much hope for its survival, but here it is sprouting new growth and looking quite healthy. Whew! As our friends say, you only know a plant when you've killed one twice! Grow on little Peony! It is #314Day celebrating our venerable area code and all things Saint Louis. We are beyond blessed here in Saint Louis. You would not realize it if you only read the @STLToday but we have amazing restaurants, skilled and talented makers, and incredible artists and craftspeople. It's Spring and the outdoor markets will be in full force. Let's get out and support our fellow neighbors. Buy local. Shop local. Let us celebrate the best of our fair City. Be careful if you are out and about on the stormy Thursday morning. Be good to yourself and kind to others. We all need a bit of kindness and goodness in our lives. That's all the news from here in the Carondelet Garden. #garden #gardening #gardensofinstagram #stlgardens #stlgarden #stlgardener #stlgardeners #stlgradening #carondelet #carondeletliving #carondeletkitchen #carondeletgarden #supercoololdpeople #bekind #kindness #simpleordinarylives #314day #supportstl
Spring Al Fresco! The warmer weather is giving Big Guy and I the itch to work in our garden. While the prep work is being done, we find ourselves holding back as it is too early to do too much planting. What shall we do? I suggested we take advantage of the beautiful weather and head over to @bluescitydeli. What is more perfect than sitting outside with a delicious sandwich. Looking at the crowd, we were not alone in this journey to great food. #supportstl #stlfoodie #stlfoodies #carondelet #carondeletliving #carondeletkitchen #carondeletgarden #supercoololdpeople #bekind #kindness #simpleordinarylives #314Day #supportstl
