Pasta is so good in many dishes, from a spicy marinara sauce to an Asian inspired pasta salad such as this recipe. I have adapted this from Ina Garten’s, “Crunchy Noodle Salad”. I love pasta and especially with a peanut butter sauce! See also Weight Watcher’s Asian Sesame Noodle.
I love smoothies and I am always looking for recipes where I usually have the ingredients on hand. This tasty beverage comes from Ina Garten who never fails me with any of her recipes. I am bringing this smoothie full of great fruits to Fiesta Friday #90. A very simple recipe but one most people … Continue reading
After searching and experimenting with different recipes I finally found a ranch dressing I could work with. I have already posted wedge salad recipes with Thousand Island Dressing and Blue Cheese Dressing. Now, you get the Ranch dressing version. These salads have been popular for a long time on American restaurant menus and I just had a … Continue reading
I managed to make one more peach recipe before the season was over. Nothing better than fresh peaches, but I guess I say that about everything when it is in season. This is a Barefoot Contessa recipe which I received in an email and it sounded very simple and easy to make. Sometimes I … Continue reading

I have been busy using tomatoes with veggies, salads and sauces or just eating them on their own. My herbs, such … Continue reading
Normally I like to serve this delicious roasted shrimp from Ina Garten with a homemade cocktail sauce. For a change of pace I also made Chef John’s Lemon Aioli with cured lemons. This is too good with a perfect lemon touch – yum! Update Oct. 28, 2018: I just received Ina’s 11th cookbook, Cooking Like A Pro and she … Continue reading
This is my first Fiesta Friday contribution to Angie’s site, The Novice Gardener, but it is actually Super Bowl Sunday. This is the first time I have joined a “blog party” but what a fun way to meet other bloggers. Now, if I can just figure out what I am doing and link up to this fabulous party created … Continue reading
These biscuits filled with Vermont cheddar were just delicious and smelled so good while baking. As Ina Garten said in her cookbook “Back To Basics”, they are light and fluffy but still moist. Cheese biscuits and cheese pie crust for an apple pie were always favorites in my family. See my recipe Cheddar Pie Crust (for Apple … Continue reading
