Pea Pesto Parpadelle … if nothing else, it’s kinda of funny to say. And turns out, it’s yummy, summery and really quick to make — like this took no more that 20 minutes from fridge and pantry to plate. You can make this with frozen peas any time of year, but I happen to find fresh ones at the market (for those precious few weeks in the summer).

Sometimes you just have a craving for wings, am I right? I’ve got a few recipes for wings on this and I usually make them aroung like the Superbowl, but I had a craving, so here we go. The base recipe is always the same (baking on a wire rack); it’s just the sauce that varies. This time, I made a sweeter Bourbon Maple Glaze, with a little bit of a hot sauce kick. Eat as is or with a side of Ranch or Blue Cheese.
Here’s a cleaver little twist on your standard biscuit — it’s a muffin instead! I mean, it tastes just like your standard, flakey herb and parm biscuit — great with soup! — but “individually wrapped” like a muffin. Either way, tasty and a great accompaniment to soups or salads, or even for breakfast along side bacon and eggs. Best to use fresh herbs in this recipe, as the dried sort taste chalky!
I don’t actually know that I have ever had potato salad in Scandinavia before. I don’t think that I have, so I can’t really tell you if this is authentic or not, but the combination of sour cream, light vinegar and dill made me think of Scandinavia, so I went with the theme. It’s definitely not like my other potato salads, which lean toward the Southern German or French styles. Nevertheless, this was very yummy and light, not heavy on the mayo or greasy. And yes, even in a pandemic, you can splurge and have smoked salmon for lunch. On a Wednesday. Just because.
