Scalloped Hasselback Potatoes. “Scalloped” is an attractive word, isn’t it?
When I hear it I think of several things: first, there’s scallops, as in the seafood—totally delicious. Then there’s the scalloped shape that can live on the edge of a pair of shorts or on the collar of a woman’s blouse—always pretty and dainty. And of course scalloped potatoes also comes to mind, which carries my imagination to a land of crispy potato skins drenched in a sea of cheese and cream. I can think of no better place to exist, actually. Healthy Makeover: Panda Express Chinese Food! Last night, our kitchen magically morphed into Panda Express: I remember the exact day Panda Express showed up at our local shopping mall.

Gnocchi Mac & Cheese. Ahhhh mac and cheese.
Those mere words stir up feelings of comfort...home....the food you loved as a kid. If you asked a 100 people what their favorite comfort food was, I'm guessing close to half would say mac and cheese. I'm sure meatloaf and mashed potatoes are right up there too.

I saw this one on Noble Pig's site and knew it would be in my oven. The gnocchi get's a little puffy in the oven and the cheese get's a little crunchy. It's heavenly.

But then, a couple weeks ago, I joined a CSA. In our first box came spaghetti squash. Traditional Indian Samosas — The Picky Eater: A Healthy Food Blog.
