With time at an all time minimum I have been on the prowl for quick delicious ways to feed myself and my family. My brother is an incredibly talented chef and has taught me that everything tastes better if you add butter, shallots and fresh herbs. He also taught me this easy formula for yummy salads: Always add a cheese, a fruit and a nut! He makes a mean blueberry salad with candied pecans and goat cheese. Also loving almonds, cherries and Parmesan.
My new go-to easy dish is fresh pasta with olive oil, garlic and lots of black pepper, Parmesan, and parsley. It literally takes ten minutes to make and my whole family loves it. You can also toss in prosciutto or fresh veggies for variation.
I also have become obsessed with Gabi Moskowitz’s food & lifestyle blog which offers simple tasty recipes on a shoestring budget.
I have been whipping up her oatmeal chocolate chip cookies with my two-year old and we cannot get enough of them.
Bon Appetit!
