Cheater’s Pasta All’Amatriciana

cheeseslave » 20 July 2009 » In Recipes » 18 Comments

I didn’t make my first trip to Italy until I was 37. It was worth the wait.

I went on a once-in-a-lifetime dream vacation with my mother and sister. We started out in Tuscany, where we took cooking classes, went truffle hunting with a real truffle hunter and his dogs, and toured wineries. After that, we headed down to Rome, where we ate way too much pasta and gelato, drank Negroni cocktails on rooftops, drank bottle after bottle of vino, and sipped cappuccinos.

If you don’t have time to break away on your own Roman Holiday anytime soon, make this pasta. It’s like a mini trip to the Eternal City. Whip up a few Negronis and you are there.

Creole Succotash with Christmas Lima Beans

I found some dried Christmas Lima beans at the farmer’s market and I wanted to try something different for dinner: Creole Succotash with Christmas Lima Beans.

Waiting for Dinner

I’m finally getting around to posting about the fantastic meal we had the other night at a 14-acre dairy farm on Vashon Island, Washington. These dinners are held every Sunday night and most everything on the table is grown or produced on the farm (with the exception of coffee and sugar and flour and salt [...]

Tonight we had a last-minute dinner guest (my husband’s business partner). Luckily, when I got the call, I was already making a big batch of risotto. I wanted to incorporate some leftover shrimp from a Christmas party the night before. Risotto is fast and easy and fancy enough for dinner guests. It’s also highly nutritious; [...]

Shellfish Night: Simple Sunday Night Salad with Scallops

cheeseslave » 06 October 2008 » In Uncategorized » 3 Comments

Scallop Salad

We missed Shellfish Night last night because I didn’t make it to the farmer’s market yesterday. I took Kate to the gym instead. She played with her friends while I lifted weights, rode the exercise bike, and read the first chapter of Senator Obama’s book, “The Audacity of Hope”. I was craving shellfish for dinner [...]
