A Tasty Way To Round Out The Year



w/ Sweet Potato Brie Ravioli in a Honeyed Brown Butter Sauce

I always get the urge to do a little bit of "spring" cleaning around the New Year. Whether it be personally, emotionally, or physically. This year, my refrigerator was the lucky winner of my manic cleaning attention. While I was in there, I realized that I had a lot of scraps of leftovers but not enough of each dish to make a real meal so I had to get creative. Hello ravioli, perfect conduit for me to cram a bunch of random stuff into! This ravioli should probably be renamed The Kitchen Sink Ravioli because every scrap I could find went in these puppies. From the random hunks of cheese scavenged in the cheese drawer to literally scraping the filling out of my failed party galettes (had a wee incident with the salt in the crust; completely inedible but I can't throw food away). Thus these babies were born.



Ingredients
Ravioli
  • 2 cups flour
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 Tbsp
*kudos to Garden Betty for the Recipe.
Filling
  • roasted sweet potatoes 
  • caramelized onions
  • coconut creamed spinach
  • brie cheese
Sauce
  • 3 Tbsp butter (yikes!!!)
  • a pinch of salt & pepper
  • 1 tsp honey

Monday Mix: Hype


This has been my life these past few weeks (in chronological order); Photoshop Dies. Computer Glitches. Lose a ton of files (primarily photos...). Hard Drive Spazs. Lose even more files (ha). Visit Geek Squad. Dropbox not sending. Clients haven't been getting their photos. Damn. Drop little brother off to college. I'm in Miami b*tch! Visit Geek Squad for the 5th time in 3 weeks. They aren't happy to see me. Pay through the nose for a media recovery. Hope like hell all of my files are recovered. Only some of my files are recovered. Cry a little bit. Stress out for a minute. Lick my wounds for another. And then I got over it because I'm gonna get through all of this and it'll all be fine. Plus I've been banging to this get hype mix so it's all good.

"What doesn't kill me makes me stronger." 

P.S. The moral of the story is to not skimp on your hard drive. Apparently most of my problems stemmed from one crappy external hard drive.... ; P

Enjoy

Monday Mix: MIAMI



4 words; I'm In Miami B**ch!!!


Monday Mix: Rainy Day Summer Edit


Summer has gone by so quickly and now the weather is definitely throwing the fact that Fall is right around the corner into our faces. It has stormed everyday for the past 5 days which typically I adore those stormy days but as these are the last few days of summer and I really don't like being stuck inside. Or it could also be that I always feel obligated to get a ton of work done while I'm stuck inside but I've been feeling particularly summertime lazy (you know that time when the sun is shining and you have no motivation to be productive beyond being outside soaking in the sun). But anyway on that topic, this is what's been in my constant rotation of music this weekend. 
                                                Enjoy!
