Summer Spaghetti

If you were to judge dinners around here by my instagram feed, or say, by the contents of my fridge at first glance, you might reasonably come to the conclusion that I feed my family nothing but berries and stone fruit.  And while I admit

I’m kind of a terrible food blogger. Just kidding, I’m an amazing food blogger.  That’s why you’re here, right? Hello? Right?!

Spaghetti with Cauliflower Pesto

These days, if you’re looking at a recipe involving both pasta and cauliflower, chances are that it’s an attempt to turn the cauliflower into a sort of pasta substitute.  I get it.  People on gluten-free and low carb diets miss pasta.  I would, too.  That,

Pasta, like Mexican food, is another one of those things that doesn’t exactly get fair air-time on this blog.  At least not in a reality-to-blog kind of way.  I’d guess that we eat some kind of pasta for dinner at least once a week, especially 

Pasta (Almost) Puttanesca

Anchovies. I’ll let that sink in for a moment.  I’ve never given them much thought- neither in the, “gross, ack!” camp, nor the “can’t get enough!” camp.  They’re ok.  I buy the little tubes of anchovy paste for Caesar salad and maybe to squirt a

Seems I’ve been so distracted going on and on about the waning summer months that I almost forgot about one of the absolute best things about the end of summer… the bounty that comes from my teeny tiny little garden.  Sure, there are hardships that 

Linguine with Asparagus, Garlic, and Lemon

Linguine with Asparagus, Garlic, and Lemon

Halfway through typing up this recipe, I became aware of its resemblance to a certain something else that I’d made recently.  There’s pasta involved, along with asparagus.  And some parmesan cheese.  So I was actually thinking about not sharing it with you all; I don’t want

Be honest.  Aren’t there things you wait to do until your significant other leaves the house?  Re-arrange the dishwasher so that the plates face the right way?  Watch Real Housewives of New York?  Feed the dog pieces of bacon because he loves them so much?
