Snap Peas and Soba Noodles with Honey Soy Dressing: Spring Recipe. I always feel lost during the first few days of summer break. I would have thought that by spending so much time in academia, my body and mind would be use to the transition. For the first few days, I amble around the house. I spend far too much time on the internet and in general I get nothing done. See, I’m an all or nothing type of gal. I spend my school year going full speed, rarely slowing down. When summer hits gone are the long days, mile long to-do list, and feeling of always needing to be busy.
Eventually though, I let go and admit it’s summer. I think this switch to summer happened yesterday. Snap peas were part of my day as well. I have a slight bad habit for forgetting to eat before I head out to the CSA on Thursday mornings and usually by the time I’m half way through picking, I’m starving.

18 Real-Life Supper Menus from My Dinner Party Journal. We get a lot of questions about menus from our readers. What goes with this chicken? How do I craft a menu for my spring cookout? What dessert should I serve with this meal? We all have different approaches to building a menu, especially one for a dinner with friends. We have a lot of dinner parties; we have friends over to dinner at least once a week, and it's one of the best times of the week. Here is a partial lookback at my own dinner parties from the last year — menus, dishes, and more.
And of course these meals are indicative of my own particular preferences and tastes. Looking back over a dinner journal is a good reminder to try something new, and a good reminder, too, of what I like and what works for me.

Easy One-Bite Pizzas with Loaded Pizza Sauce. I’m the type of person who racks my brain forever before I can think of anything decent to make my family and friends when we’re having a party or get together. Or better yet, I put off meal planning as long as possible until I find myself at the grocery store rushing around in a flurry, desperately throwing things into my cart. You’d think meal planning would come easy to me given how many hundreds of recipes I have made over the past few years, but unfortunately that’s rarely the case. Plus, don’t people have expectations when you have a recipe blog?
Bloggers, do you agree? Or maybe they don’t care and I stress about these made up things in my mind, which I like to do. It’s also possible that I’m just burnt out on the creative front by the time Friday evening rolls around and the thought of throwing a bag of chips on the table sounds very appealing. Either way, I spent a long time thinking about what to make for my party this past weekend. And you know what’s funny? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Vegan. Fish. Meat. Allspice recipes | Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall. Allspice is the ironically named spice. Though not in the Alanis Morissette sense of the word "ironic", which she uses as a synonym for "quite annoying", which is, ironically, quite annoying. No, the irony of allspice is that it really is incredibly useful and versatile, with the qualities of a complex assembly of other spices, with notes of bay, citrus, mace, clove, cinnamon, black pepper… and yet we hardly ever use it.
