5 Pastas Under 400 Calories
Pasta dinners are easy, quick and leave few dishes in their wake. Best yet -- with proper portioning, they can be a filling lower-calorie meal too! My dishwasher is broken. Supposedly they’ve ordered a part and it will be fixed next week. I had no idea how spoiled I was by modern day appliances. Now, I have no motivation to cook. I love cooking but dishes, don’t love those. I told my husband I was NOT cooking dinner until it was fixed. B... Read More ›

Asparagus Pesto Pasta Salad
You guys, it's happening. Now that spring has sprangidy sprung, the pesto plague doth stricken. It's all I think about. It's all I dream about. These days my hands are on autopilot to grab the processor, something green, some nuts, garlic, cheese, oil and blitzeroo my life into grand glory. No, I'm not applying a pesto body scrub right now, why do you ask? It's not that I'm bored with the traditional way of preparing pesto, with basil and... Read More ›

Broccoli Pesto Braid
And you thought I only braided my hair, youuuuu. I miss a good French braid. I also miss Electric Youth perfume, Wilson Phillips and blue mascara, but I probably shouldn't have just typed that out. I'll be straight with ya, some days when I'm working in the garden, working out or working for the weekend, I'll throw my hair in a dang french braid and high five myself. WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT? Oh you don't really care? Oh. Sh... Read More ›

Pea and Basil Pesto
Pep up your pesto power with peas! This pesto recipe starts with easy Steamers and ends up even easier on pasta or bread for a quick yum. Got pesto? When I saw bunches of vibrant, fragrant basil at the farm stand recently, I practically leapt for it. Basil is summer’s sweetheart – a wonderful herb that gives pesto it’s wonderful, bright flavor. And one great thing about pesto is how fast and easy it is to make. In fact, if you have 10 m... Read More ›

Pesto Pearl Couscous Salad
Summertime is salad time -- and fresh veggie, farmers market and pesto time too. Actually, summertime is all things fresh time. I can hardly wait for our farmers market to start next week, and to start cooking with all sorts of fresh veggies. When else can you go to a farm and buy just-picked basil to make pesto? Or pluck fresh tomatoes off the vines in your backyard? Here in the northeast, summertime is the only time. When winter arrives, fre... Read More ›

Basil Pesto
If I had to choose only one thing to grow in my garden, it would be a toss up between tomatoes and fresh basil. I love to use fresh basil in my recipes. Sweet Basil is most often used in Italian cuisine. But basil isn't just for Italian fare; it is also very prominent in Southeast Asian cooking. Southeast Asian cooking typically uses Thai Basil, but if isn't available I often substitute traditional basil. This year I am growing Sweet Basil... Read More ›
