Comfort food. In the winter, sometimes you just need a good bowl of Chicken Noodle Soup, right? Well, I decided to put a little bit of a twist on the classic, adding some spices that add even more warming properties: garlic, ginger, turmeric and black pepper. And it’s a “cheater” recipe as I used a store-bought rotisserie chicken to make it easy on me. For the noodles, I used udon and I added carrots, red pepper and Swiss chard for color. One of the best soups (or is it a stew?) that I have ever made.

Slow-Cooked Cherry Tomatoes with Garlic and Rosemary
I’ve had a crazy overload of tomatoes from my porch garden this year. It started out with the bigger tomatoes, like Early Girl and Big Boys. Then came the Romas, and now I have a crazy amount of cherry and grape tomatoes. I mean, it’s insane. Every day I am picking at least 20 and there are still at least 2 weeks worth coming. Often I just eat them straight off the vine, but tonight I made these really easy Slow-Cooked Cherry Tomatoes with Garlic and Rosemary for dinner. Would be great with fish, chicken or as a bruschetta topping too. Yum!
It’s Farmer’s Market Season again — I love the summer — and I found a huge bushel of fresh peas. I love peas, freshly shucked and just blanched with a bit of butter. I made this quick pantry friendly meal (don’t most of us have spaghetti and parm in the house?) for dinner tonight. Absolutely delish!

Lemony Artichoke and Asparagus Pasta Salad
Pasta salad for a lot of people means mayonnaise. For me, that doesn’t always work well. I like going on picnics and I don’t want to have to worry about keeping my pasta salad cold (not to mention that it tastes better when it isn’t too cold). So this one has a Vinaigrette instead, which matches well with the artichoke hearts too.
