  1. This is a very timely post for me! Do YOU ever have those weeks where you run dry on menu ideas?

  3. Laurie, while I don't ever run dry on recipes (I constantly feel like I have so many recipes to try and so little time!) I do have those nights when we have pancakes, waffles or a Costco special for dinner! For inspiration try www.epicurious.com (they have a super ratings system that helps you "sift") and a few cookbooks like The Carefree Cook, any of the Barefoot Contessa books, or the new Everyday Food.

  4. Mmm...pesto...curry...risotto...Now I'm hungry. I never thought to pair pasta and potatoes in the same dish. I might try it! Here is one of my favorites as the weather warms and tomatoes ripen: http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,,FOOD_9936_31416,00.html.

  5. Kimberly, that does look like a great recipe. When I start receiving tomatoes from my CSA I'll have to make it. Thank you for the recommendation!

  7. I've been looking for a reason to make homemade pesto... my basil plants never last very long, after buying. I'm clueless as to why- having tried sun, shade, water, misting, etc. I've got to do something soon with one I bought last week. Thanks for the inspiration!
