We love noodle bowl lunches and dinners at our house. Teriyaki “Take Out” noodles, spicy peanut noodles, Suki’s Singapore Noodles with grilled shrimp skewers and this Thai red curry Udon bowl. Heat 2 Tablespoons olive oil in a large, heavy soup pot. Once hot, add: 1 cup snow pea pods 3 small carrots, peeled and…
During World War II, “victory” gardens were encouraged as a way to support the troops. When people grew their own vegetables, there were more supplies that could then be sent overseas to the soldiers. This soup is inspired by that era. 4 cups cooked chicken, cut into bite size pieces 1 large onion, chopped fine…
We just returned from a beautiful riverside picnic. Can’t wait to tell you more about that tomorrow for my six senses post. Tonight is the blue moon, so we’ll be outside on the deck photographing…sipping blue moon wine, looking at the Sky Walk app for the iPad and gazing up at the sky. I am…
I’m back from another jaunt to the farmer’s market. Such a beautiful selection of produce these days. Can’t get enough of the heirloom tomatoes, and whenever I come across pattypan squash it’s feels like striking gold. These tender little gems are definitely the creme de la creme of summer squash. They can be prepared so…
Gypsy dinner is fun to put together and will help you use up a ton of those fresh garden veggies and herbs. Play romantic music while you work in the kitchen together and enjoy all the beautiful flavors and textures of these fragrant, colorful ingredients. We always make extra veggies and potatoes so we can…
I’m tempted to figure out exactly how many of my homemade salad dressing recipes I have posted and consolidate them into one post for your (and my) convenience. Maybe I’ll publish a little ebook that would be easy to print out and look pretty on your cookbook stand. Would that be something you’d be interested…
we just enjoyed these delicious, stacked caprese salads with green and red zebra heirloom tomatoes. we strolled up to the red wing farmer’s market at the depot yesterday and picked up a bunch of beautiful, fresh produce… I have more tomatoes than I know what to do with (again)…which is a good problem to have!…
I’m trying to post all of my summer salad recipes before September 1st. I have so many of them I don’t know if I’ll be able to without inundating you with salad seven days a week! Well, we’ll see. There are still a couple weeks left. This tuna pasta salad can be tailored to fit…
Hello friends! Here’s another awesome salad recipe. I had a bunch of carrots in my fridge, a TON of mint growing in the herb garden…and this salad is the result. Crispy, crunchy, colorful, sweet and tart. Great with grilled fish or cold, marinated shrimp. Serves 4 to 6 people prep time- 5 minutes cook time-…
I’ve been cooking with cayenne, spicy peppers, fresh ginger, wasabi and garlic this week. I’m trying to get rid of a nasty summer cold that just crept in and decided to stay for awhile. I waited about a week, tried to rest, drank local honey and raw vinegar thinking I might be able to make…
