Me & The Moose

Hello! Welcome to Me & The Moose, a blog about eating intentionally (and irreverently!) with littles. Here, you'll find food that’s seasonal, easy, fast, and accessible to foodies both young and old. It’s food you recognize, but better. Let’s cook!

Latest on Instagram:

If I ever casually say, “maybe I’ll make a pie today,” I want you to grab me by the collar and shake me very very hard.

Don’t get me wrong: I love pie. Some of my favorite accounts on this here Instagram are pie makers. But I HATE making pie. I’m terrible at it. The filling is always too wet, my crust is overworked, and my bottom is soggy.

Give me a crumble, crostata, crisp, galette, tart, buckle, or cobbler any day.

But not today. Today I made a pie.

Pattypan Squash Breakfast Sandwich!

I love the way pattypan squash looks. It’s like a spaceship wearing a tutu and I’m here for it. But sometimes I don’t know what to do with it. I mean, you can use it just like any other squash, but then you lose that beautiful shape.

So I made it into a breakfast sandwich. I just split it in half and sautéed it in a covered pan on medium low heat for about 10 minutes. Then I added my egg to the pan, tossed some smoked Gouda on top, and went to town.

I would NOT be mad if you sprinkled some everything bagel spice on top either. “Does your kid eat this,” you might wonder? Absolutely not! But it’s fun and I’ve learned from @playwithfood_au that playing with new food is a gateway to EATING new food.

Blueberry Basil No Churn Ice Cream!

I started with @thekitchn ‘s basic recipe for no churn ice cream and went from there. Here’s what I did:

Blueberry Basil No Churn Ice Cream
2 cups heavy whipping cream
20 large basil leaves
14 oz sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 cups blueberries, cooked down to about 1-1.5 cups syrupy compote

Stuff 20 basil leaves into your carton of heavy whipping cream and let sit for about 12 hours or overnight.

Take out the basil leaves. Whip the cream with a hand or stand mixer until stiff peaks have formed and it feels like whipped cream.

Fold in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla gently, until no lumps remain. Chill.

Heat the berries in a pot over medium heat until the start to break down and become syrupy, keeping an eye on the pan and stirring frequently to avoid burning. When the compote has cooked down to about 1/3 its volume, turn off the heat and let cool completely.

Mix the blueberry compote into the cream mixture as thoroughly as you’d like (I prefer to leave some streaks). Freeze until firm.

[NEW RECIPE!] Cherry Rye Muffins are new on the blog!

Rye flour gives just a touch of nuttiness that pairs well with the cherries and the whole recipe is just healthy enough without sacrificing flavor or texture.

Trust me: I wouldn’t heat up my August kitchen for anything less than phenomenal muffins.

Italian Sodas are the best, most refreshing dessert that you can make in under 10 seconds.

Combine sorbet and sparkling water in whatever flavor combo you like: I’ve used lemon sorbet with plain seltzer here, but I dream of blackberry sorbet with lime seltzer or raspberry sorbet with grapefruit seltzer...the sky’s the limit!

Italian Soda
2 large scoops sorbet
8 oz seltzer, the bubblier the better

And thanks to @twolovesstudio and @ful.filled for the fun #GetMinimal challenge! It’s fun to stretch and get out of your comfort zone once in a while.

This Cucumber Salad is one of my dad’s specialties and our whole family is obsessed— with good reason.

This crunchy, tangy, brine-y, salad is really simple to throw together (just 5 ingredients including salt!)and is the perfect thing to munch on when you start to get hangry, but don’t want to ruin your lunch/dinner.

Cucumber Salad
2 large cucumbers, peeled, seeded (if you want), and sliced
1 small white onion, thinly sliced
3/4 cup white vinegar
1 heaping Tbsp white sugar
1/2 heaping tsp kosher salt

Slice your cucumber and onions and add to a large bowl.

In a measuring cup, add the vinegar, sugar, and salt, and mix until the sugar is dissolved, about 1 minute.

Pour the vinegar mixture over the cucumber and onions and stir well to combine.

Let sit for 30 minutes to 1 week in the brine.

To serve: I like to add a drizzle of olive oil and possibly a splash of another vinegar like red wine. I’ve also added tomatoes to the mix as well as 1-2 Tbsp of tahini stirred into the vinegar mixture. You can’t go wrong with any variations!

Baking in July is like opening up the gates of hell. But roasting fruit makes it so sweet that you can use it as a natural sweetener, so...worth it!

This is a Roasted Plum and Cherry Purée that I’ve mixed with plain yogurt, but would also be great with coconut or other non-dairy yogurt.

Roasted Plum and Cherry Purée
1 1/2 cups pitted sweet cherries
10-12 small pitted plums

Roast at 400 until the fruit has released its juices and the juices are syrupy, about 20-25 minutes. Purée until your desired consistency.

Guys, Grilled Lamb Kebabs with Haloumi and Apricots is on the blog now!

You know what I sometimes don’t like about kebabs or skewers? The elements don’t all cook at the same rate. So why not cook the elements separately and then skewer them?

Just, you know, use caution if you’re using metal grill skewers like I did 🤦🏼‍♀️ #meandthemoose #feedfeed #foodblogfeed #f52grams #pinefor #bombesquad #buzzfeast #buzzfeedfood #mywilliamssonoma #kebabs #dinnerideas #dinner #grill #gloobyfood #kidfood #foodiekids #foodiefamilies #instayum #instagood #eeeeeats #damnthatsdelish #foodphotography #foodtographyschool #foodfluffer #cameraeatsfirst #mediterraneandiet

I mean, what else was I going to do with the summer squash in our @subedgefarm CSA? @smittenkitchen ’s summer squash pizza for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

In the latest installments of “what is this thing in my CSA bag?” AND “you think my kid will eat what?” I give you: Roasted radishes with pesto, pasta, and toasted garlic breadcrumbs.

Sort of a “no recipe” recipe.

I like to use ANY of the mystery greens or leafy tops from stuff in our @subedgefarm CSA to make pesto and then roast any spring root vegetables like radishes, turnips, or kohlrabi (the aliens in the back) to mellow them out. Toss it all together with some pasta and top it with panko and minced garlic that’s been toasted in olive oil until golden brown.

Search for “Kale pesto” on meandthemoose.com to get my preferred ratio of greens to basil and other ingredients.
