Baking With White Chocolate Wednesday, Jun 15 2011 

Today I needed a sweet fix, so I baked white chocolate cookies.  The creamy vanilla flavor of the chips makes for a yummy cookie.   If you’d like the recipe, let me know in the comment section.  I have say, they are a nice change from regular chocolate chip cookies.

Have a great day.  Happy eating.

I’m Back…Let’s start with salad two ways Tuesday, Jun 14 2011 

It’s been a crazy spring with lots of activities and not much time to write. Thank goodness summer’s here.

I hadn’t done any meal planning today so dinner was created by ingredients on hand. I always have pasta in the pantry so I knew that to be a good starting point. For salad one, I topped rigatoni noodles with one of my favorite summer mixes, grape tomatoes, basil, garlic, and olive oil. Seasoned with a little kosher salt and fresh ground pepper this makes a really good and easy pasta salad.

I raided the fruit basket for salad two. I diced plums, apricots, nectarines, and a mango. Mixed together these flavors made a nice summer medley.

Of course no dinner’s complete without a nice table wine. Ok, maybe nice is an over statement. But I did have a chilled bottle of Columbia Crest Two Vine Vineyard 10 white  wine. For about 6 bucks this is an easy on the wallet and an easy to drink fruit forward white table wine.

Glad to be back. I hope to share some wonderful food experiences this summer. Until next time, happy eating
