Perfect Meatless Monday Meal: Cappellacci Pasta with Broccoli Rabe & Meyer Lemon Juice

I love carbohydrates. Bread, potatoes, rice, pasta, give it all to me!! When I was shopping at Home Goods earlier this month, I saw a bag of pretty Cappellacci shaped pasta and decided to pick it up. Paired with broccoli rabe, Meyer lemon from Limoneira and a few other simple ingredients, this is a perfectly beautiful and delicious dish for Meatless Monday or any day of the week.

Soba Noodles with Vegetables and Tofu: Perfect Meatless Monday Recipe

I'm a day late for Meatless Monday, but this Soba Noodles with Vegetables and Tofu recipe is really awesome any day of the week for lunch or dinner. You basically choose whichever vegetables you like, add tofu, soba noodles and a few aromatics, and you have a quick, healthy and colorful meal. If you happen not to like soba noodles, use spaghetti, orzo or even rice. I'm not the boss of you ;)

Swiss Chard and Spinach Ravioli Nudi: Cookbook Dinner Club (The Glorious Vegetables of Italy)

For this month's cookbook dinner club, which actually happened to be a lunch, my friends Cecilia and Julia and I were lucky recipients of Domenica Marchetti's latest cookbook The Glorious Vegetables of Italy. We received the preview copies from the publisher, Chronicle Books.

This is the third cookbook by Domenica in my collection, and not only do I know Domenica, I am also really happy and

Dinner in 20 Minutes: Summer Spaghetti with Garlic, Roasted Peppers, Tomatoes & Olives

This past weekend I took a break from blogging. I had no recipes I wanted to create to share with you. I took some photos at brunch with my friend Cecile, but had no plans to write about those, even though the food at Belga was great.

There were no food events, no book reviews, and only two sets of previously taken photographs to edit.

And you know what? It was so relaxing and freeing and

What To Do with Leftover Noodles? Fat Noodle Frittata Recipe

Do you remember the Spicy Fat Noodles with Snow Peas I blogged about in 2012? You don't? I thought you have all my posts memorized ;)
Last week I once again went to Chinatown Express with Cecilia, and once again I had quite a bit of fat noodles leftover after eating one of their soups. This times around I ended up making Fat Noodle Frittata with my leftovers.

Here's how this recipe came about

Nigella Lawson's Pasta with Brussels Sprouts and Potatoes from Nigellissima Cookbook

Earlier last week, my friend Paige emailed me a link with the subject line "looks like something like you!" It was a link to Diner's Journal and an opportunity to be a part of Recipe Lab and a live video chat with Nigella Lawson. All you had to do was leave a comment and you could be chosen!

I decided to listen to Paige and take my chances and leave a comment:

"French Onion Soup" Macaroni & Cheese: 30 Days, 30 Ways Macaroni & Cheese Blog

I was thrilled to be asked to participate in the 30 Days, 30 Ways Macaroni & Cheese Blog again this year.

Last year I created a Mexican Mac & Cheese, but this year's theme was to transform a well known dish into a mac & cheese recipe. While trying to think of something fun and creative, I remembered a recipe I made a while back which quickly became my brother's favorite: French Onion Soup

Spicy Fat Noodles with Snow Peas

Last week, my friend Cecilia and I went to see Ina Garten at Sixth & I. It was a fabulous evening. See the instagram photo of me Cecilia took below :) I cannot wait to make something from the book!

After the event, we decided to get something to eat and I suggested Chinatown Express. I've eaten at this little restaurant a few years ago and was looking forward to introducing Cecilia to

#FinishRevolution Challenge & Lidia Bastianich's Baked Stuffed Shells Recipe

I get quite a few emails telling me about new cookbooks, cookware, food items, etc. Last month I received my first ever email about a cleaning product. I suppose it's fitting: if you cook, you have to clean the dishes (even if like me you absolutely HATE the task).

I was invited to take a Finish Sticky Dish Challenge, and Join the #FinishRevolution with the help of a new to me dishwasher

Bonne Maman Recipe Contest: Soba Noodles with Sweet & Spicy Golden Plum Mirabella Preserves

A short while ago I was contacted by Bonne Maman and asked to develop a recipe using their Mirabelle Plum Preserves that will be one of 15 recipes featured on their Pinterest board.

The only requirement was not to make something predictable like a tart. I was up for the challenge.

Lunch at Merchant in Madison, WI: My First Time Eating FRIED Cheese Curds!

Hi! I spent a weekend in Richmond, VA visiting my friends Jenn and Luis and also participating in Sabra's Tastemakers program. I will fill you in on my adventures later this week, but for now I wanted to do a quick post about lunch I had on the last day of my Madison Weekend (Part 1, Part 2).

As I've mentioned before, I'm used to traveling solo and don't mind it much, but it's always nice to

What To Do With A Leg Of Lamb: Lamb & Butternut Squash Wonton Ravioli.

Is this another lamb post? Yes, yes it is! This past March I visited Charleston and absolutely LOVED it. When I was invited to participate in the BB&T Charleston Wine and Food Lambs and Clams Original Recipe Contest for a chance to win tickets to the Charleston Wine & Food Festival, how could I say no?

The recipe contest has four recipe challenges and your participation/voting is worth 25%!!

Barilla Plus Bake with Mushrooms & Leeks: Lazy White Lasagna. Plus a Pasta Giveaway

Everyone knows that we are supposed to eat healthier, right? Well, sometimes it's easier said than done. I have a hard time ordering a salad when I'm eating out instead of getting a juicy burger or cheese filled mashed potatoes.

Some choices, however, are not that hard to make. What if you just substitute your regular white pasta with whole wheat pasta?

Recently, I got a chance

Summer Cooking: Pasta Primavera Recipe (Sort Of)

This post is one of my no-recipes-posts. It's just an idea for you to use when you need a bit of inspiration. Basically, it's a pasta dish with some sauteed vegetables, some raw vegetables and fresh herbs. Feel free to use whatever produce you have. Not a fan of pasta? Use rice or even boiled potatoes.
