Chickpea Curry with Bolani

December 7 by Priscilla 16 Comments

We’ve all heard the saying “you are what you eat” and yesterday my post focused on a recent article about how, more than ever, food defines social class in America more than the clothes you wear or the car you drive.

Shrimp and Pasta with Romesco Sauce

October 4 by Priscilla 21 Comments

We all have our favorite tomato-based Italian pasta sauce whether it’s a quick and light Marinara sauce, robust  homemade Ragu Bolognese, or the summery no-cook alla Checca with fresh tomatoes and basil, but to change it up a little, I’d like to suggest a nutty, rich-flavored Romesco sauce. The combination of roasted red peppers and […]

Sesame Noodle Salad with Peanut Ginger Dressing

May 17 by Priscilla 2 Comments

There is absolutely nothing better on a hot summer’s day than a chilled noodle or pasta salad. I’m talking about this refreshing, delicious departure from your typical store-bought pasta salads laden with fat and calories from mayonnaise, but a Thai-inspired Soba noodle salad strewn with vibrant carrots, cool cucumbers and a luscious homemade peanut butter-ginger […]

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.
