« Fresh: Asian Cashew Noodle Salad
I spent the weekend on Lake Mayfield. It’s a glorious place to spend Memorial Day weekend, or any weekend, really. When I’m out there, I do a lot of cooking, and it’s usually cooking for a crowd. Entertaining during the summer doesn’t have to mean slaving over the stove while your guests are there. I find it easiest to prepare a few cold salads ahead of time, so you can enjoy your friends and family and still eat fresh, homemade food.
What a fun weeknight meal this turned out to be! Another recipe from Better Homes & Gardens strikes again! I love those guys! I'm definitely their new biggest fan.
Gnocchi, Sweet Corn & Arugula in Cream Sauce
I thought I had been living. I thought my life had meaning . . . and purpose. I thought my days were being lived and experienced to their fullest, rich with love, happiness and beauty. WHAT A FOOL I HAD BEEN. (but you have to say it like BEAN to sound more sophisticated-er.) Come here.
Pasta Fresca with Prosciutto, Peas and Tomatoes
Just the recipe... I made quinoa and mushroom meatballs a few weeks ago. And then I made them again, as soon as it cooled down enough in my apartment to turn on the oven. The first time I had them with a tomato sauce, but I knew I wanted them with a mushroom, white wine, cream sauce. But it got too hot in my apartment to even think about turning on the stove and I ate my meatballs with red sauce (and straight out of the fridge as a protein-packed snack, shh! I live to eat leftovers cold out of the fridge, I don't know why).
Leek and Mushroom Cream Sauce
Pho, Pho, Pho My favorite thing about pho is the pairing of crunchy vegetable toppings with hot flavorful soup. This was very good. Thanks R.S.!

Recipe: Vegan Avocado Alfredo Sauce
Learning to love avocados, one Alfredo recipe at a time. Avocados often get a bad rap, but for the wrong reason – for being fat.

In my humble opinion, there’s cooking and there’s cooking. (I know, I’ll just give you a minute for the staggering profundity of that sentence to kick in.) What I mean is, it’s one thing to turn banana bread into a crepe, that crepe into a cake, that cake into a vehicle for walnut butterscotch, drooling, diet-postponing, and seconds , and it’s an entirely other thing to find yourself at the playground at 5:15 p.m. and realize a) you don’t actually have anything in the fridge that you can turn into dinner, b) you, in fact, barely feel like cooking, in fact, your interest in cooking is only a single degree stronger than your desire to order in, so this better be easy, and c) the adjacent farmers market which you have heard from others boasts ramps and asparagus and spinach and other new!What a journey raw food can take us on! It all started with a longing for Pad Thai, took a stop along the way to make raw fresh coconut milk and ended up with this wonderful Asian inspired dish that really isn’t Pad Thai at all! The flavors are fresh, bright and inspiring.
