Coconut Rice Pudding With Mango

Not the Steve Miller Band that currently tours at casinos and has a website on the new-fangled internets, but the old Steve Miller Band whose hits enjoyed their heydays before I was alive and cognizant. Shut up. I know I wasn’t the only one obsessed with Steve Miller in high school. In fact, I know I wasn’t the only kid listening to the Steve Miller Band when I was 17, because my husband and I both happened to attend the same Steve Miller concert at the Oregon State Fair a good decade before we met each other.

Veggie Pinwheels Recipe. { Avocado and Grilled Corn Salad with Cilantro Vinaigrette } A few days ago, I arrived home from work to find a surprise at my front door.

{ Avocado and Grilled Corn Salad with Cilantro Vinaigrette }

It was a box addressed to me. Typically most boxes are addressed to my hubby, who is an avid Ebay participant. But this one was for me. I reviewed the package label to realize that is was from the Tastemaker program at Foodbuzz. As part of the Foodbuzz Tastemaker Program, I received a box of fresh and nutritious California Avocados from the California Avocado Commission. The wheels of imagination went off in my head. When I opened the box, these avocados were absolutely perfect. When I explored the California Avocado Commission’s website, they had a section for fun facts about avocados. Avocados are a fruit, not a vegetable, belonging to the genus Persea in the Lauraceae family Avocados are sodium and cholesterol-free and have only five grams of fat per serving, most of it the monounsaturated kind.

Grilled Zucchini Greek Salad Recipe. (Updated and added to Recipe Favorites, August 2010) When I visited Athens in 1998, I ate salads with cucumbers, tomatoes, green bell pepper, cucumbers, onions, and Feta cheese, always served with a dressing that combined red wine vinegar, olive oil, and dried Greek Oregano.

Grilled Zucchini Greek Salad Recipe

In Greece this combination was usually called Village Salad, but in the U.S., any salad with those ingredients would be called Greek Salad. This particular version of an American-Style Greek salad is something I came up with years ago when my garden had lots of zucchini and tomatoes, and not many cucumbers. Grilling the zucchini with olive oil and Greek Seasoning, and then brushing on some vinaigrette dressing as it cooks adds wonderful flavor to the salad, even if it's not authentically Greek.

Meatless Monday: California Sandwich

It started with my mother-in-law’s visit, just before our big Independence Day family reunion. The reunion stretches across two meals, so everyone brings enough food for lunch and dinner. There are two big picnic tables covered in aluminum containers piled high with barbecue, ribs, chicken wings, burgers, hot dogs and brats. But no matter what else people had on their plates this year, no one could resist grabbing one (or two or three) of Elaine’s tomato sandwiches.

Nutella Ice Cream. This is, by far, the best ice cream I’ve made.

Nutella Ice Cream

And it’s among the easiest — just a couple of ingredients, very little effort, and the best, chocolate-y, most decadent result. If you’re not familiar with nutella, check in the grocery store where you find the peanut butter — you’ll probably find it. And when you do, take the jar, bring it home (pay for it first), spread a tablespoon or two on a piece of bread, and taste. Swoon. Repeat. Then make this ice cream. Nutella is, quite frankly, one of the best culinary creations out there — a mixture of chocolate and hazelnuts that almost defies words. It was the inspiration behind my flourless chocolate hazelnut cake, and now this. Nutella Ice Cream INGREDIENTS 1/3 cup nutella 1/3 cup sugar 1/2 cup heavy cream 1 cup milk 1 tbsp vodka DIRECTIONS Beat together the nutella, sugar, heavy cream, milk and vodka until blended evenly.

But as much as I joke, and as much as I will appreciate having more hours for my work, the reality is, once school begins, it will be a whole new busy. Afternoons will be tight for time, and the challenge to get dinners prepared quickly and efficiently will return. Last week, I found myself pressed for time and staring at a bare bones refrigerator. A community driven visual potluck. Pesto Chicken Roll-Ups. The name of the dinner game lately has been to get it made and photographed before the sun goes down. That can be a challenge, to say the least. With the insanity of cookbooking, workouts are the one thing that have gotten pushed aside just a bit. I even told Mr. Prevention after my run on Wednesday that I haven’t had a GOOD run, an enjoyable run, in a really long time.
