Salmon with Caper Vinaigrette
I wanted to share this recipe up because it’s so easy to make (a lot easier than taking a good food photo when it’s dark out!), and really good. Salmon and capers have always been linked in my mind; my mom always made them together when I was younger, and so many delicious recipes use [...]

My my. I know there have been a higher than normal number of orange-colored soups appearing here as of late (like this and this). But bear with me just one more time because this one is a keeper. For real. Keeper! Yum! This butternut squash soup is so low in calories, and so rich with [...]

Sweet Corn Cob Soup
Corn on the cob always reminds me of my Grandma and Grandpa. When I was little I used to go out to visit them on the farm in Ohio, always during the summers, when we’d have corn on the cob with every meal. Grandma always kept a little bowl of those stabby things you stick [...]

Grilled Leeks and Endives
I may not have mentioned it before, but I love leeks. They are such a skipped-over little onion-like veggie, that deserve way more credit than they get. Some day I will post an awesome pasta recipe I have that uses leeks in the sauce. But seriously, these guys cook up so nice and tender and [...]

Pesto, Two Ways
When I left the food shoot last Monday I came home with not only leftover desserts, but a whole bunch of fresh mint, originally intended for garnish! I started digging around for recipes, and that’s when I made the lamb/mint pizza. Well that used about 10% of the mint I brought home so I knew [...]

Zucchini and Carrot Bake
Sometimes, at the end of a long day, I really can’t bear the thought of eating my veggies. If left to my own devices and blessed with an impossibly high metabolism, I would probably eat spaghetti bolognese for every meal. But, seeing as how that’s not exactly the case, I’m left to find ways of [...]

Roast Chicken and Arugula Salad
Well it’s been a long weekend of driving! Chris and I went home to CNY for his cousin’s wedding and although it was a quick trip, it’s always nice to go home. After all that banquet food, wine, and beer, we needed a quick, easy supper that’s tasty, light, and healthy! Really, it doesn’t get [...]

Peanut Noodles with Veggies
I love that this dish incorporates so many colors, textures, and tastes. Don’t the veggies look so tantalizing there all together? Oh, and the sauce. I could have sipped the sauce alone. I love peanut butter. Love love love it. I even named my dog Peanut Butter. So when I can eat it on pasta, [...]

Edamame Hummus
I love hummus, but don’t have it too often. (If we buy it, I’ll eat it all, so we don’t buy it We had some last week at the Viens’s and I was feeling inspired. I had heard that Trader Joe’s does an Edamame Hummus and I thought that sounded interesting (although I’ve [...]

This recipe is modified from Bon Appetit (May 2009, I think?). Their recipe called for marinating two hours, then BBQing on the grill. While I’m sure that would have been tasty too, I don’t have the patience or the grill I served it with an arugula blend with simple Balsamic and EVOO dressing.
