B) Peanut Sesame Noodles

As promised, here's a recipe blog. Though I may brave the elements to barbeque, some of you may not be willing to stand in the 50 degree clime in order to get the perfect taste of summer. So try this out...



What You'll Need:
Spaghetti
Peanut Butter
Soy Sauce
Hoison Sauce
Minced Garlic
Broccoli
Carrots
Snow Peas
Scallions
Sesame Seeds

What to Do:
1. Make Spaghetti as you normally would and drain.
2. In a small bowl mix a large dollop of Peanut Butter, a small dollop (a heaping TBSP) of Hoison Sauce, and stir. Add Soy sauce and stir until smooth. If the mix is too thick to stir into pasta, add a little more soy sauce. Stir the whole mixture into pasta (the heat of which will melt the peanut butter making it easier to stir).
3. In a frying pan, brown some minced garlic. Add in carrots, broccoli and toss for about 2 minutes. Add in snow peas and scallions. You're just cooking these veggies to make them warmed up. Spoon onto the top of sauce-topped pasta. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and if you like red pepper flakes.
4. Serve in Asian-inspired dishes, like my square shaped bowls a gift from my friend Holly who also gifted me with this advice for Asian-inspired meals.

A) I promise to blog more

We're heading into barbeque + tons of fresh veggies and fruits season, my favorite time of year. I tried a recipe last night from Everyday Food that loooked so good: Cheddar Stuffed Burgers. Just a word to the wise, while they tasted great, all the cheese melted out of the burger there by making them burgers with nothing else. Maybe somebody has a plan for how to keep this from happening?
