What I Made: June 13, 2012

Yesterday I decided to take it a little easy on the cooking/baking and make a nice dinner with a drink. For as little as I made, I sure did make one heck-of-a mess in my kitchen.

I've heard much bally-hoo about kale. Everyone has wanted me to try it, cook with it, make it into chips... blah blah blah. So this evening I decided to make a Pasta with a Kale and Walnut Pesto. I got the recipe from Real Simple's May 2012 issue. I partnered it with another recipe from that same issue of Real Simple - Spring Lettuces with Avocado Dressing and Pistachios.

What I Made: June 8, 2012

I was a cooking fool on Friday.

I'd like to stress the "fool" part.

I slightly overdid it and then was out of commission for the weekend. The good news is that I was back to cooking on Monday and I have a lot of delicious pictures for your consideration.

For breakfast, I went with Pistachio-Chai Muffins from Cooking Light.

I have to admit, I'm more of a sweet breakfast muffin kind of gal, but my opinion isn't the only one that counts. My husband took well over half a batch to work. He returned with empty containers and said they got a big thumbs up.
