Lemon Chicken Pasta Tastes Like Spring
Posted by Danielle Bean in Food on Wednesday, March 16, 2011
So I follow the rockin’ Joia Farmer on Twitter.
A couple of days ago she shared a tweet about celebrating springtime with lemon chicken pasta for dinner and I asked her for the recipe. When she shared the link where she found it, it looked so simple and good I was inspired to try it.
It was simple! It was good! About 3/4 of the family gave it rave reviews while the other 1/4 pronounced it acceptable.... READ MORE
Using the Peas

We had a snow pea plant in our garden, and it was producing enthusiastically. I needed a way to use all those sweet crunchy little pods.
Enter a recipe that my sister originally found on the Kraft website. She adapted the dish to her family’s tastes and I further adapted it to my family’s, and all the people involved (even the children) think it’s pretty tasty.
And I love it because we’re eating those... READ MORE
Lemon Pasta

“Light” and “refreshing” aren’t necessarily words that go with “pasta.”
But they fit this dish.
It’s nice and something a little different to try as light summer fare.
Here’s my friend Cris’ take on a recipe she found in a now-lost magazine:
Lemon Pasta with Baby Arugula*
1 lb. pasta
1/2 cup olive oil
2 T. butter
1 garlic clove spit in half
1 T. grated lemon rind
1/4 c. lemon juice
1/4 c. chicken... READ MORE
Another Easy Pasta Dish
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Food on Monday, April 19, 2010
About a year and a half ago I shared one of my favorite pasta recipes: carbonara. I love that recipe because it’s easy and I nearly always have the ingredients on hand, but it’s a little too heavy for warm weather, in my opinion.
I crave the combination of bacon and pasta, though, so I was thrilled when I came across this recipe a few years ago. I believe it is very loosely based on an Italian dish,... READ MORE
A Bite of My Childhood

I can understand the appeal of jarred pasta sauce. It’s quick and convenient and a lot of brands don’t taste too bad.
But my longstanding and firmly-held opinion is that if you’ve got the time to make it, homemade sauce is always better. It’s fairly simple and convenient, too: half an hour of prep in the morning, and all you have to do at dinnertime is cook the pasta and prepare a salad and/or bread,... READ MORE
Pasta Carbonara
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Food on Tuesday, October 28, 2008
We’ve got a cold, which means we want comfort food.
Unfortunately being sick also means I don’t feel like doing complicated cooking. This was definitely the case last night, and yet we needed something hot and filling to take the edge off our Kleenex-accompanied misery.
Mom to the rescue! I remembered a recipe she used to make when I lived at home. I grabbed one of the packages of bacon in my... READ MORE
