Asparagus Pasta
One of the biggest changes to the way I make pasta is that I no longer place pasta in a huge pot of boiling water. I started using a sautee pan and added water and pasta to the pan and brought it to a boil.

Green Bean and Simple Tonato Sauce Salad
I started to make another recipe from Ottolenghi’s Flavor and was tasting along the way. I know he has a whole other part where he makes a sauce to go on top but I thought it was wonderful as it stands.

Potato Salad
I never would have thought of adding lettuce to potato salad. It lightened it up and changed the texture and tasted great. This was mentioned by Chef Jamie Simpson in a video from Farmer Jones about this week’s box of vegetables.

Carrot Slaw
I bought these beautiful three color carrots from Farmer Jones. Orange. Yellow. Purple.

Tofu Noodles
The Bittman Project is a cooking project from Mark Bittman. In the first video released, Daniel Meyer cooks a tofu dish that looked really good so I adapted it for what I had.

Pasta
I saw a tweet from a friend who loves to cook at home and to eat out. He said that his family hadn’t eaten food prepared elsewhere since March. I’ve seen similar posts from others.

Mushrooms Bulgogi
The last time Maggie visited she had a taste for Korean food. I told her that if she could find me recipes I would give them a shot.

Giardiniera
The last time I made giardiniera it was more of a traditional one. I left out the cauliflower because I leave it in the jar. I mixed peppers, carrots, celery, onion, and radish (I had some on hand), and green olives.

Green Tomatoes
I have a problem during summertime when vegetables and herbs are fresh.

Pesto and Orzo
One of the things I miss the most during this pandemic is going to the grocery store four or five times a week and looking at what is fresh or catches my fancy.

Peaches and Grits
No recipes today. I just want to share a day that featured peaches and grits with fresh baked bagels in between.

Refried Beans
If you’ve never made your own refried beans, you may be surprised that it’s much easier to make than you expect. (Also, it’s not really fried.)

Instant Pot Yogurt
Berry season is my favorite time to enjoy yogurt. It turns out, that it is very easy to make yogurt at home.

Italian Mushrooms
I was looking to replicate the idea of a Chicago Italian beef sandwich but with the mushrooms i had in the house. This came close.

Sub Rolls
Whether you call them Sub sandwiches, Hoagies, Hero’s or Grinders - for me the most important component is the roll. It has to have just the right mix of firmness and softness.
