Spring is here, or so we are being told by the calendar but the weather on the day I made this dish started at 40* and was around 59* in mid-day.  Spring had sprung for a few days but we seemed to have skipped the entire season, plus Summer and jumped into Fall.  Of course [...]

Rice Noodles have become a favorite of mine in the past few weeks.  It could be that rice noodles lead themselves to making Asian inspired dishes and to me those are very fast and easy to make.  Since I am ‘surving’ overload weeks I need to have foods that I can make really fast but still [...]

Salad used to be nothing more than some iceberg lettuce and tomato on a plate.  If you were lucky a slice of cucumber and an olive.  Then it was all drowned in olive oil and balsamic vinegar.  The next wave of salad came when people were ordering the BIG SALAD for lunch and that had [...]
