This is one of my favorite recipes. I’ve made this so many times and it’s always a 🙂. The cucumbers are crunchy, sweet and slightly acidic from the vinegar. I don’t really like dill as an herb but it works sooo well in this dish. I like to have this ready to take on a…

Herb Baked Tomatoes
Apologies for the screen shot. I forgot to take a proper picture for my blog, but I posted my first cooking TikTok! Videos are posted under @sundaynoms. I gave this a 😕 (but I’m weird with tomatoes)Boyfriend gave it a 🙂When I originally cooked this recipe I gave it a 🙂 Boyfriend had no notes…
Ginger Scallion Noodles
Me- 🙂Boyfriend- 🙂 This is a tasty and very easy side dish to make. The most work you’ll need to do is chop up a bunch of green onions. I cheated and used ground ginger instead of grating fresh. I bet fresh ginger would be super lovely. I used somen noodles that I bought from…
Avocado with Red Radish and Carrot Carpaccio
Me- 🙂Boyfriend- ☹️ I really liked the daikon radish in this dish. This salad is from Italy according to the cookbook. You layer daikon radish, shaved carrot, shaved red radish with avocado slices. You top it with pickled onion and an oil and lemon juice herby sauce. I plan to use this tomorrow to make…
Steam-Fried Zucchini Halves
Boyfriend- 😕Me- 😕 Frankly, I don’t have much to write in this blog post about this vegetable side dish. Instead of calling it “Steam-Fried” it should just be sautéed since you are using olive oil for this dish and not adding water. Frankly this is just under seasoned sautéed zucchini. Not for us, although I’m…
French Lentils with Carrots and Parsley
Boyfriend- 😕Me- 😕 Although I was out of parsley so technically this recipe is French Lentils with Carrots. I love lentils, but I don’t really crave them. I feel like I would have enjoyed this dish more in the fall as a filling side dish. This would be so good with Herb Roasted Chicken and…
Italian-Style Fried Farro
Charlie-😕Me-😕 I was excited about this dish. I love crispy Brussels sprouts and I wanted to try farro. But this preparation was disappointing. There was no seasoning called for in the recipe and I just added pepper since prosciutto was in the dish. Speaking of the prosciutto, frying it in this style makes it hard…
White Beans
We’re currently experiencing lots of frozen rain and ice in VA so a big bowl of salty beans is super comforting right now. I had a bag of Great Northern beans in my pantry and wanted to try a recipe from a new cookbook my sister sent me. The beans were cooked with salt pork…
Shallot-Thyme Vinaigrette
I’ve made this vinaigrette before. It’s oily, acidic and the shallots almost taste like pickled onions. It’s so good. I used the vinaigrette and made myself a dinner salad with Spring Mix, goat cheese, avocado, pepperoni and dried cranberries. So yummy
Creamy Peanut Slaw
I am a fan of the sauce. This slaw satisfies need of salty and spicy Asian-inspired sauces. Two things would make this salad better: cilantro and crushed peanuts. I would totally do that with this recipe next time. Although, I’m tempted to take the sauce and just heat it up with ramen or glass noodles….
