Green Beans with Blue Cheese and Walnuts

July 15 by Priscilla 8 Comments

Greeted by a bounty of green beans upon our return from vacation, I’ve been busily creating summertime salads that defy the term “salad”  as it is commonly thought of, i.e. dressed salad greens with traditional salad toppings. The first was the classic Niçoise Salad, inspired by images of The Young Baker  gleefully absorbing the sights, […]

The kind that flows and hasn’t been thickened […]

With fresh spinach from our garden, some chopped yellow peppers, and smoked paprika for an aromatic smoky flavor, extra containers of steamed rice from the previous night’s Chinese takeout is transformed into a delicious vegetarian meal. Grilled peaches add a touch of summer sweetness and a lovely contrast to the spicy warmth of the paprika. […]

Roasted Asparagus

March 26 by Priscilla 2 Comments

Second in my series of super easy asparagus recipes; roasting asparagus, or any vegetable, brings out its natural sweetness. This is one time where thicker spears work better than thin ones so the asparagus doesn’t get tough and stringy. You can even make these in your toaster oven – I do.
