Creamy Cajun Steak Pasta

November 17, 2010

Lately I’ve been trying to be healthier so I can be a little svelter and overall look more fabulous in my clothes.  Clearly trying is the operative word here with my posts as proof.  Creamy Wild Rice Soup?  Cheese Steak Egg Rolls?  Popcorn Balls?  Is it any wonder my clothes are a little, erhm, snug.  [...]

Meatless Monday: Honey Mustard Cashew & Tofu Pasta Salad

November 1, 2010

I always strive to bring balance to every aspect of my life whether it’s in thinking about how I approach my career or in how to build flavor in a dish.  Unfortunately, in reality it doesn’t always work out that way.  Lately things have been a bit chaotic in the work department.  A quick turnaround [...]

Pasta with Roasted Yellow Tomato and Goat Cheese Sauce

September 1, 2010

It’s funny how simply by using fresh, seasonal produce, something that might ordinarily seem pedestrian becomes craveable. Such is the case for me for pasta with tomato sauce. Typically, it’s not something I make often. It’s overlooked in favor of whatever is the dish that’s captivating me at the moment be it grilled lamb or [...]

Chicken and Mushrooms in a Garlic White Wine Sauce

August 18, 2010

Whatever your schedule or how much you typically love cooking, it’s worthwhile to have a few quick and easy recipes in your repertoire.  For me, they have to meet a couple criteria.  First and foremost, despite being fast, they still have to deliver on flavor.  Because of that, I always try to use high quality, [...]

Crab and Spinach Manicotti with a Sweet Corn Bechamel

July 16, 2010

I love when sweet corn starts appearing at the farmers’ market because to me it is the quintessential summer food.  I find myself including it in just about everything from my Low Fat Sweet Corn Ice Cream (which I am seriously considering making again with Cashew Caramel Corn as a garnish) to my Cocoa-Kissed Beef & Delicata [...]

Meatless Monday: Farmers’ Market Vegetables, Goat Cheese and Lemon Pasta

July 12, 2010

I’ve definitely tell I’ve been watching way too much Next Food Network Star because I find myself wondering what I would be like if I were a contestant.  How would I define my point of view?  What kind of product would I make to represent myself?  It may make me a dork, but I have [...]

Greek Yogurt-Marinaded Lamb and Ravioli Filled with Potato, Bacon, Baby Leeks, and Garlic Scapes

June 21, 2010

Today’s dish is a mouthful, both as a title for a post and as a dish.  Inspired by Father’s Day, I decided to prepare my take on a meal often associated with dads – meat and potatoes.  Usually this summons up visions of steak, meatloaf, or BBQ ribs, but whenever I am eating meat lamb [...]

Buitoni Shrimp & Lobster Ravioli Product Review

June 17, 2010

Today was one of those weeks where you only make it to Thursday and already you are utterly, totally exhausted. I had so many projects piling up at work that all I could do was keep my head down and power through. Oddly enough, these tend to be the weeks where I like a long [...]

Pasta with Cheesy Pink Sauce

June 10, 2010

Think pasta with tomato sauce is just for picky eating tots not discerning adults?  This version will have you reconsidering that.  The additions of bacon, goat cheese, and a little half and half turn this into something special.  The result is a silky sauce with a pleasant tang from the cheese and a smoky-savoriness from [...]
