Recipes »Springtime Veggie Pasta

springfrom Bird and Cleaver

Sometimes I am amazed how quickly some extraordinary meals can come together. This Springtime Veggie Pasta is an easy weekday dish but looks and tastes restaurant worthy. Of course, as the name suggests it’s the perfect time of year for the ingredients – fresh asparagus, peas, and tarragon.

I used proscuitto pasta instead of the recommended spaghetti and it added a nice saltiness. I imagine other ingredients could be changed easily to suit your taste.

It’s recipes like this that get me excited about trying to cook more with limited time on my hands.

Recipes »Caprese Eggs

Easy Breakfast

This is my own recipe, an eggy breakfast take on the classic Caprese Salad – Caprese Eggs. I first fried the grape tomatoes, sliced in half, in a tablespoon of butter, salt and pepper, and a couple splashes of balsamic.

Once they broke down a little, I added four scrambled eggs, cooking slowly on low heat. Last I added a thick slice of mozzarella chopped up and cooked until it was melted and the eggs were set. Next time, some basil would be a nice addition.

Recipes »The Lady’s Perfect Scrambled Eggs

from Paula Deen

Spend a Couple Minutes »Nyokki!

Egg Plant Pet

This little guy, purchased on a whim at Sprout, is downright adorable. Called Nyokki! (which means “grow!” in Japanese) he sprouts green “hair” that you can style or cut. The shop only had the froggie, but the company also makes a rabbit, a cat, monkey, duck, and bear as well as special holiday ones like a skeleton, black cat, jack-o-lantern and snowman. Too cute!
