Ellie Bluebell's House: Edamame Fried Rice and Teriyaki Sauce
http://elliebluebell.blogspot.com/2012/05/edamame-fried-rice-and-teriyaki-sauce.html
Frugal and Fabulous Living. Edamame Fried Rice and Teriyaki Sauce. I hate to waste food. Hate it. My tendency to remake leftovers into "new" dishes wears on my husband a bit, since not all of my creations are good ones. He also distrusts leftovers in general - I've heard stories about when he was a child and they'd eat the same giant pot of something for days on end. I can understand where his mom was coming from with the cooking in bulk, but I also see his point. You gotta mix things up. 1 T coconut oil.

Ellie Bluebell's House: July 2012
http://elliebluebell.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Frugal and Fabulous Living. Planning ahead and waiting around are the names of my game right now. I've been keeping the laundry done and the house clean so that when we have to leave at any moment for the hospital for baby number two, things won't be a disaster when we come home. I've been freezing soup, buying extra pantry staples, and trying to use up perishables from the fridge. So my course of action was clear. 1/2 lb of cherries, washed. 1/4 c brown sugar. A lidded, glass jar. 3 Slowly pour hot alco...

Ellie Bluebell's House: February 2012
http://elliebluebell.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Frugal and Fabulous Living. Our household is comprised of a not-uncommon mix of eaters: one die-hard carnivore (whose freezer was filled with big-game meats harvested by his family when I first met him), one pescetarian (and former calorie counter), and one fairly open-minded not-quite-three-year-old. We all inhale Spinach Souffle happily. 1 15 oz can diced tomatoes, drained (if you really love tomatoes you could even do a 28 oz can). 1 pint low-fat cottage cheese. 1/8 c bread or cracker crumbs. Oven to ...

Ellie Bluebell's House: Baking Weather and Browned Butter Apple Pie
http://elliebluebell.blogspot.com/2012/10/baking-weather-and-browned-butter-apple.html
Frugal and Fabulous Living. Baking Weather and Browned Butter Apple Pie. I'm so happy to welcome back Fall, mainly because everyone knows Fall is Baking Season. To me it is not a coincidence that this time of year is when we harvest apples. Time for apple pie. A few years ago I went on a mission to find the very best apple pie recipe out there. As with brownies, there are a million recipes (hence, The Brownie Project. And I needed only the very best. Unless you're Mari. Pretty good lookin' stuff, right?

Ellie Bluebell's House: December 2010

Frugal and Fabulous Living. 5th Annual Trunk Show. This year was really the best trunk show we have had so far! The Ellie Bluebell Designs Holiday Trunk Show is my way of gathering a group of awesome artists, and creating a great place for friends and family to shop local, small businesses. while having adult beverages and snacks. It was awesome, if I do say so myself (and I do). We were joined by my loyal artist friends Carolyn Buss Jewelry. The Julie Ann Collection. We drank a lot of them. These cards ...

Ellie Bluebell's House: An Easy Classic: Linguine With White Clam Sauce
http://elliebluebell.blogspot.com/2012/05/easy-classic-linguine-with-white-clam.html
Frugal and Fabulous Living. An Easy Classic: Linguine With White Clam Sauce. When I first came across this recipe several years ago, I was skeptical about it. Could homemade clam sauce from canned clams really be good, or was this one of those recipes that tries and fails to recreate at home something that is delicious only in restaurants? But the lure of a different (meaning not tomato based or heavy cream) pasta dish that incorporated seafood, a protein our whole family eats, was too much for me. Add h...

Ellie Bluebell's House: The Brownie Project: Round One
http://elliebluebell.blogspot.com/2012/07/the-brownie-project-round-1.html
Frugal and Fabulous Living. The Brownie Project: Round One. A few weeks ago, we got a real hankering for brownies at Ellie Bluebell's House. Okay, maybe it was just me wanting them, but once I mentioned the idea of making some brownies to Natalie, she wanted them really bad, too. I started looking for a recipe. We just happened to have grabbed a book at the library on our last visit, Sesame Street B is for Baking: 50 Yummy Dishes to Make Together. But I went with the recipe's recommendation, just to test...

Ellie Bluebell's House: Peanut Noodles with Tofu and Broccoli
http://elliebluebell.blogspot.com/2012/04/peanut-noodles-with-tofu-and-broccoli.html
Frugal and Fabulous Living. Peanut Noodles with Tofu and Broccoli. So don't throw those out. Save your broccoli stems for Peanut Noodles! Another option for broccoli stems is to chop, freeze, and save them for a batch of Crockpot Lentil Soup). Children love this dish, but it's sophisticated and tasty enough to satisfy the whole family. Pass the green onions and cilantro at the table if your little ones are wary of "green stuff.". 1 14 oz package organic tofu in water. 1/8 t red chile flakes. Cook pasta a...

Ellie Bluebell's House: Bing Cherry Clafoutis
http://elliebluebell.blogspot.com/2012/07/bing-cherry-clafoutis.html
Frugal and Fabulous Living. Oh my holy hell. That is exactly what I said when I pulled this clafoutis out of the oven and the absolutely decadent, buttery smell rushed out of the oven straight into my face. I will never make clafoutis with grapes after having it with cherries. In addition to not having to peel grapes, cherry and almond go together so effortlessly. This simple and straightforward cake is a perfect showcase for the combination. Adapted by Chef Peter Birk from Pierre Raboul. 2 In an electri...
