Avocado Pasta Recipe Avocado pasta has been floating around the internet forever but even though I have a major obsession with avocados, I was never compelled to give it a go. I just couldn’t really imagine warm avocado sauce. It’s not that I had a problem with warm avocados – I’ve had avocado fries (deep-fried tempura avocado) and they’re delicious! The best thing about this recipe is that it comes together as fast as instant mac and cheese: you just have to boil your pasta, blend your sauce and you’re good to go. This was kind of similar to how mac and cheese tastes too, texture-wise. This is a quickie! Next Post On Wednesday night Mike and I checked out The Perseids.

Lottie + Doof Asian Noodle Salad Jars Can I tell you guys how much I loved these Asian noodle salad jars? I was so glad the recipe made four salads, because I totally ate these for lunch all week and never got tired of them! It’s something different than the typical lunchtime salad. All of the veggies stay nice and crunchy since the salad dressing is contained in the bottom of the jar. All of the colors make it a feast for the eyes, too. I frequently use peanut butter as an emulsifier in salad dressings. Asian Noodle Salad Jars Yield: 4 servings Prep Time: 25 minutes Ingredients: For the Salad: 4 ounces soba noodles1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced1 cup shelled edamame, cooked2 large carrots, peeled and shredded4 green onions, thinly sliced1/2 cup crunchy rice noodles For the Spicy Peanut Dressing: 2 tablespoons peanut butter4 teaspoons sambal oelek4 teaspoons rice vinegar4 teaspoons soy sauce1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil1 tablespoon black sesame seeds Directions: Making one of my recipes?
