You see, about 2 weeks ago, I had the wonderful opportunity to meet one of my favorite bands. A band whose music makes me smile, makes me dance and brings back memories. A band who is as inspirational and caring as people as they are talented musicians. A band I have been a fan of for, oh, the past 13 years or so. And what does a 26 year old food blogger do when she meets her favorite band and tries her best not to squeal like a girl half her age? If you’ve known me for a while or have been following my tweets on twitter then you already know that I’m talking about Hanson. A San Diego food blog sharing restaurant reviews and recipes. Monday, June 27, 2011 It’s officially summer.
I love summer. Summer means warm weather and sunshine. And best of all, summer means lots and lots of ice cream. While ice cream is an all year round treat for me, in the summer I can eat a ton of it without people questioning me. Last week I took out my Cuisinart Ice-Cream Maker to make a fresh batch of ice cream.
I love the bright green color of this ice cream. Sweet, rich, and creamy from the avocados, I really loved this ice cream. CREAMY CORN, BASIL AND BACON PASTA. Every time I make a creamy pasta, everybody rushes to the table and happily digs in.
I was supposed to make this pasta with corn, bacon and basil a few weeks ago, but I didn't have any parmesan in the fridge. Then I let the bacon go bad (what a waste!). So this pasta was back on the menu this week after we were given some bacon, and miraculously, I had all the ingredients on hand. It's a very simple, but very rich dish, one of my husband's favorite.

Potatoes and Peas in Green Sauce. Potatoes and Peas in Green Sauce Part side, part soup, this potato dish is simple and satisfying.
It’s also a pretty good indication for how things are going to be around here these next two weeks. Meaning: short ingredient lists with common items. It’s something of a detox for somebody like me who leans towards super spiced cuisines like Sri Lankan and Moroccan. Potatoes and peas have always been a favorite combo of mine although I usually have them as a heavy side (mashed potatoes and peas) to an even heavier meat main course (meatloaf). Apparently Basque people often garnish their dishes with wedges of hard-boiled eggs. Cold Sesame Noodle Salad. I adore cold salads when it is too hot to cook.
This is one of our favorites because it is so easy to make. The only hot part is boiling the noodles. Then it is stored in the fridge and served cold. I often make this in the early morning when it is cool outside and we eat it for the rest of the day as it warms up and nobody wants to turn on the stove. It has a lot of great flavor without being overly greasy or heavy like take-out Chinese food. Cold Sesame Noodle Salad adapted from Rachael Ray 1 tablespoons smooth peanut butter 2 tablespoons soy sauce 1 pinch cayenne pepper 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1 teaspoon sesame oil 1 tablespoon sesame seeds ½ box spaghetti, or capellini, cooked and drained In a small bowl whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, pepper, vegetable oil and sesame oil.
