Shrimp and Asparagus Noodle Salad

Shrimp and Asparagus Noodle Salad

Next in our series of ‘overlapping meals‘, here is a wonderful Asian inspired main dish salad that is quick to prepare on a hot summer evening.  I love this cross between a pasta dish and a salad!  This was inspired by Vietnamese Noodle Salads, but it draws on similar sauce and techniques from our Pad Thai.   It uses some of the same ingredients as well (use up the rest of your noodles, and more of yo…

Spotlight: Asparagus in Egg Wrap

Love this simple dish from Eating Pleasure! Simple, healthy, and beautiful to look at. Wouldn’t this make a lovely brunch dish? Read on for more about this lovely asparagus rolls! I found some big fat juicy organic asparagus from Jusco the other day. I bought a bunch of them for about RM4.80.

Vegetable Stir Fry with Orange Ginger Sauce

Vegetable Stir Fry with Orange Ginger Sauce

“All of these vegetables need to be eaten before they go bad!!”  Sound familiar?  We went to visit my man’s parents for Mother’s Day and had just gotten my organic produce box the day before we left.   I contemplated taking the whole box with me, but it wouldn’t have fit in the overhead compartment, so we took a few apples and the prized mango and sadly left the rest in the refr…

Seafood Sausage Penne Pasta

Seafood Sausage Penne Pasta

I found this seafood sausage when I was shopping at one of my favorite stores, Trader Joe’s, the other day and decided to combine it with some vegetables and penne pasta.   A while back, I went to a restaurant with a friend and had this great penne pasta & sausage dish, and ever since I’ve been trying to duplicate it.    This was the best ever!    It’s fast and easy and is one of those dis…

Chili-Garlic Salmon, with Asparagus

Chili-Garlic Salmon, with Asparagus

Is anyone else behind on everything?  I’m feeling that way lately!  Between the 4 yr old being on ‘spring break’ last week, and getting my taxes done (nothing like waiting til the last minute!) and generally over-committing myself, I’m finally catching up. So, when your busy like that, finding time to cook a yummy/healthy meal can be challenging.  So next time you’re in…

How to Steam Asparagus

How to Steam Asparagus

Asparagus is a favorite vegatable around our house, and although I love it grilled, roasted, sauteed, stirfried—you get the idea—it’s a quick and wonderfully healthy side dish when just simply steamed. The picky 4 year old is even a fan… If served without an sauce I allow him to eat it with his fingers, which is always a plus in his book! Follow the instructions outlined under eac…

Gulf Coast Grouper w/ Asparagus & Mashed Sweet Potatoes

Gulf Coast Grouper w/ Asparagus & Mashed Sweet Potatoes

My man and I spent Valentine’s Day at the beach this year, having narrowly escaped the snow and rain that blanketed the Southeast.  We LOVE seafood and our first stop when we arrived was the local seafood market.  I picked out some grouper filets and my favorite, Smoked Tuna Dip, and we headed to the house.    We’d brought some organic mushrooms, asparagus and sweet potatoes from home, and par…
