Beautiful image courtesy of Erin at fresh365Oh hooray!
Erin posted a roundup of her favorite recipes from 2009. We’re going to try a different one for each of our home-cooked meals this week:
- Flatbread with Gongonzola, Caramelized Onions & Arugula
- Salt & Pepper Tofu
- Green Pea Pesto with Walnuts
And we’re having friends over for dinner this week, so I want to serve something we’ve already tried: Maple-Pumpkin Pasta with Blue Cheese and Sage. Yum!

We haven’t gone grocery shopping yet for the upcoming week, so our reserves are low. I found an old bag of Stacy’s Pita Chips (Rosemary and Black Olive–yum!) that have preserved miraculously well. I decided to whip up a little hummus for some additional protein:Directions:

- 1/8 cup of tahini
- 1 tbs. lemon juice
- Salt to taste
Voila!
