I like your spinach and your cream sauce. But honestly? I don't love you. You're missing a little pizzaz. So, I would like to introduce you to my friend pesto pasta. You kinda need that punch from the pesto's garlic, basil, and Parmesan. Now we have the makings of love. Go forth and multiply.

Looking for ideas for a special dinner? Consider pork tenderloin! It's terrific for entertaining. The challenge is that because tenderloin is such a lean, tender cut of meat, it can easily be over-cooked and dry. You can address this in a couple of ways. The most important thing is to not overcook the pork. Pork tenderloin can quickly go from perfect to overdone, so use a meat thermometer, pay attention and pull the meat from the heat when it gets to the right internal temperature. Another thing you can do to help keep the moisture in the meat is to marinate the tenderloin in a lightly briny solution. Ideally, a sweet and salty marinade will not only infuse the meat with flavor, but will also act as a gentle brine to help the tenderloin retain moisture as it cooks.

Like strawberries! Once you have savored these fresh, ripe berries for breakfast, in a pie, and in a bowl covered with cream, you'll start looking around for other ways to use them. Might I suggest this simple, yet beautiful, spring salad? Continue reading "Watercress Salad with Strawberries and Feta" » Read more → Fish Stew with Ginger and Tomatoes One spring at friend's house on Cape Cod, I found a lot of fresh ginger in the fridge. My friend's husband had just stopped by the local fish market, so I combined the fish and ginger with a can of tomatoes to make a quick and easy spring stew. We absolutely loved the results. The fresh ginger won't knock you over the head with its intensity in this stew. It adds warmth and its distinctive gingery flavor to the pot, but it's a fairly subtle flavor. The fish is still the main star – which it should be, considering how expensive seafood is!

Shrimp Spring Rolls with Peanut Sauce Whenever I have friends over for dinner, I love making a batch of Vietnamese-style spring rolls to serve as appetizer. Unlike Chinese-style deep fried spring rolls, these Vietnamese spring rolls are very light and fresh. You wrap thinly sliced vegetables, cooked shrimp, and fresh herbs in a neat rice paper package. They're the perfect pre-dinner snack! Continue reading "Shrimp Spring Rolls with Peanut Sauce" » Read more → Slow Cooker Mexican Pulled Pork Do you know what a cook lives for? The look in friends' eyes when they've bitten into something you've made, and they're deliriously happy about what they're eating. Their wide-eyed smiley faces would say, "OMG, WOW," if they weren't so busy eating, and wanting to be polite and not talk with their mouths full. That's the response I got from my friends when I served them tacos with this slow cooked pulled pork. Of course how could you not love tacos filled with spicy shredded pork? Best thing is that it's crazy easy to make, especially in a slow cooker. You just rub a pork shoulder roast with a blend of ground chiles and spices, let the roast sit in that rub for a while, brown the roast and then slow cook it until it's fall apart tender. Use a couple forks to pull it apart into tasty shreds and use the meat as a filling for tacos, tamales, or burritos.

Start with new potatoes, super-sweet onions, sliced lemons, and aromatic sprigs of lemon thyme. Roast them all together on your sheet pan until they're tender, then add the chicken pieces. Continue roasting, and wait until everything is close to done before scattering the asparagus all around the pan. It's a clever way of making an entire meal at once, and you don't even need a sauce because you'll have chicken juices in the pan to spoon over the meat. Your trusty sheet pan does it again! Continue reading "Sheet Pan Chicken with Asparagus and Potatoes" » Read more → Green Mojito Smoothie There are two things I know for sure about my friend Tess Masters. One is that she knows smoothies. The other is that she has an extraordinary palate. Which means when she comes up with a smoothie idea, it's going to be a winner! The Green Mojito Smoothie from The Blender Girl Smoothies is a perfect example. Like the mojito flavors of lime and mint? Blend in some pineapple, coconut water, and kale, and you have not only the zesty refreshing taste of a mojito, but it's good for you too. Continue reading "Green Mojito Smoothie" » Read more → Lemony Spaghetti with Peas and Ricotta When you're bored of your standby quick-and-easy dinners and are looking for something new to shake up your pasta routine, try this lemony spaghetti dish. Creamy ricotta, lemon zest, toasted breadcrumbs and fresh peas will raise the bar on dinner!

Cheesy Bruschetta Chicken Cutlets This is a fast-as-it-gets weeknight dinner, perfect for those midweek nights when you're ready to cave and order a pizza instead of cooking.

Shaving the spears with a vegetable peeler produces a lovely green tangle that I like to put on top of a pizza. Add some roasted potato slices and gouda cheese, and you have a winning combination and a winning start to spring. Continue reading "Shaved Asparagus and Potato Pizza" » Read more → Easy No-Knead Pizza Dough It seems that every time I decide to make pizza at home (usually on a Friday night) my well-laid plans are disrupted by a last-minute impulse to go to the movies or to meet with friends. That's why I love this dough recipe. You can make it and let it rise, then use it — or change your mind and leave it in the fridge for the next day. Or even the day after that. It is very forgiving. Continue reading "Easy No-Knead Pizza Dough" » Read more → Turkey Meatball Soup with Spinach and Orzo These baby meatballs are so cute you'll fall hard for them. Use your hands to mix them in a bowl with a little Parmesan and some parsley – you'll feel like an Italian nonna! Once shaped, the meatballs go into a soup with orzo and lots of baby spinach. It's an easy, hearty meal that everyone will love. Meatballs were traditionally made with scraps of meat, often pork or beef, and stale bread. They were a make-do meal for people who had little. Today, most of us just buy ground meat at the store whenever a craving strikes. But meatballs are still an economical meal, especially when mixed with whatever sandwich bread or leftover dinner rolls need using up. I like to quickly sauté the meatballs to brown their outsides, but you can skip this step if you're in a hurry. Then, just cook them in chicken broth along with the orzo and spinach. A dusting of grated Parmesan added at the end brings out the flavor of the cheese in the meatballs and adds to the scrumptious tastes in your bowl.
