Sparkling Roasted Vanilla Lemonade. For the Love of Food: Raw Zucchini Pasta with Creamy Tomato Sauce. You can tell a lot about what’s going on in my life by what’s on my library queue.
Page de démarrage de Mozilla Firefox. 100% Whole Wheat Pizza Crust. Baked Blueberry Oatmeal. There's nothing like a big bowl of oatmeal to get your day started!
I often cook a big batch for the family in the mornings. Whole Wheat Pizza Dough. Simple Savory Stuffed Sweet Potatoes. Originally posted Feb 12, 2008 republishing for the 2011 Sweet n’ Healthy Blogger Recipe Contest Click here to check it out!
I don’t know WHAT came over me tonight. Stuffed Zucchini Pizza Style (with Feta, of Course!) I try a lot of different things in the kitchen, it’s just in my nature to make stuff up.
Normally I know if an idea will work or not but sometimes I just take a shot. This was one of those times. Mini Egg Muffins. RATATOUILLE BARLEY SALAD. In a recent podcast about time, our pastor referred to the "margins of our lives" and I was immediately struck by the term.
I interpreted it to be the time that we are not concerned with being busy. There is the work that we have to do to make a living, there is the busyness that we make by way of cleaning, errands, seeing friends, working out, and so on, and then there is the margin - the unplanned time. I don't know many people who have a lot of it, but it exists, and it is ours to fill. To fill with yet more busyness or leave open for small pleasures. I fall default to the former. That message sunk in. Italian Potato Salad. Hey friends, we are writing this from an apartment in Barcelona.
It will only be a short post today since we are on our way to the Gràcia neighborhood and we can hardly wait to get out the door. Before we left, we shot this Italian potato salad for our friend Damaris’ blog Kitchen Corners. It’s 31 days of salads over there and we have definitely found a couple of new favorites, so check it out. We spent some time with Damaris and her family in Santa Cruz, when we were traveling in California last year. Not Just an Egg Salad. Whenever we visit Luise’s family in Denmark we also eat smørrebrød.
Have you heard of it before? It’s a traditional Danish lunch with rye bread and different toppings. Usually meat, paté, spreads, cheese or fish. We have been working on some delicious vegetarian spreads, patés and dark rye sourdough bread for our book, but you have to wait until next spring to see the result. Meanwhile we would like to introduce you to another danish smørrebrød favorite. Almost Cheeseless Pasta Casserole Recipe. More often than not pasta casseroles are deliciously cheesy affairs.
The formula goes something like this - pasta, a bit of sauce, a pound of cheese. The cheese is the decadent glue that works to hold the rest of the casserole together. It's what helps to keep things moist. Green Olive Gnocchi Recipe. Have any of you ever made a sauce from green olives?
Me either. Until now. White Bean Salad Recipe. I have a little notebook that I contribute to regularly.
It's the place where many of my favorite recipes (or recipes ideas) go until I am ready to share them. I suspect that if I ever chose to do another book (years from now!) , much of the inspiration would come from the pages of this 5-by-8-inch booklet. It still has many, many blank pages waiting to be filled and I look forward to the meals, travels, and conversations that will surely spill over from my life to sneak between its front and back covers. One recent entry, White Bean Salad with Toasted Walnuts, Crumbled Manouri Cheese, and Citrus Oil, became an immediate favorite of mine. Egg Salad Sandwich (the only one I'll eat) Recipe. It has long been my personal belief that the egg salad sandwich is a sandwich too ugly to look at, let alone eat. I'm talking about those structure-less mayo bombs served on soggy white bread. An egg salad sandwich fitting this description shows up at my house roughly once a week wrapped in tight-fitting plastic - pretty much whenever Wayne hits up the neighborhood sandwich shop.
I always look at him incredulously and ask...really? Macaroni Salad Recipe. If you invite my dad to a picnic, barbecue, housewarming, or block party this time of year, odds are good he'll show up with a macaroni salad. He'll wheel it around in a cooler and when the time is right, he'll flip the top and pull a cornflower blue bowl from the ice. The bowl is what I notice first, ceramic with a flower detail on the inside rim, it's part of a set of three my grandma left when she died a few years back.
This one is medium-sized, and makes its appearance with plastic wrap across the top, secured with a rubber band.
