Tortellini with Walnut & Mascarpone Sauce
Looks good, doesn’t it? The name just doesn’t do it justice, though. Maybe I should have named it something fancy and exotic, but alas, I didn’t. What can I say? I’m plain Jane boring! I’m beige. Neutral. I also never paint my nails, don’t have a credit card and haven’t worn anything but chap stick since the day my son was born, so coming up with boring and generic recipe names is…
Ribollita
I still had some celery stalks in my fridge that needed to be used up. So, I did what any woman in dire need of a recipe would do; I confiscated a friend’s cookbook. While flipping through the pages I happened upon this recipe and just knew I had to make it. What is Ribollita? It’s an Tuscan country soup and literally translated it would mean “reboiled”. Apparently this soup was…
Roasted Summer Vegetables
There seems to be a chill in the air here. I’m never quite sure what to cook around this time of year. Or what to wear, for that matter. It’s not nearly cold enough for typical autumn food (or a coat), but it’s not really BBQ (& tank top) kinda weather anymore either. Then it hit me: roasted summer vegetables. The perfect middle ground and absolute best of both seasons.
Kayotic Corn (on the cob)
When I want to make my family happy, I feed them corn on the cob. Trite but true. Especially my son likes eating it. Seriously though, not only are the colors absolutely sensational, but the flavors are pretty mind-blowing as well when you throw in a little salsa/vegetable kind of sauce. It livens it up. There’s so much more you can do with corn on the cob than just slather it with butter and sprinkle salt…
Kay’s Peanut Soup. The Other One.
I’ve always been a huge fan of peanut soup, peanut sauce etcetera. Anything peanut butter is fine by me. Though the word fan is an uderstatement. Think of me as a closet peanut junkie trying to get a fix. The Chinese toko downtown—the one where they sell spicy Surinam peanut butter—is my dealer.
Twice Baked Chili Potatoes
I keep having these cravings for starchy foods and I’m just not sure why. Is it a girl’s thing? Am I a carb junkie and are carbs really the enemy? Or maybe it’s some sort of fractious variation to the traditional girly chocolate cravings; in stead of being in touch with my feminine side I’m just in denial about it. Guess I’ve always been more of a tree-climber than…
