Ravioli with Sun Dried Tomato Cream Sauce
I’m already seeking out ideas for next Halloween, so I’d love to know: what was the best costume you saw this past weekend? I saw a lot of good ones, but my personal favorites were (in order of creativity): a psychotic ballerina (aka, The Black Swan), a hilarious husband /wife punk rocker duo, and a pair of Angry Birds. I also have to “credit” my friend Liz who dressed in a toga and laurel wreath and walked around all night tossing fake paper money all over the place. Can you guess what she was?

Quick Chicken Pomodoro
I had the best time at the Mequon store this morning! The girls in the floral department were working like mad to unpack and display all manner of Christmas decorations. At first glance I groaned to myself — Christmas already?! — but the closer I got, the more exciting it all became

Chili-Corn Chip “Pie”
As I mentioned yesterday, I’m cooking my way through the October issue of Cooking Light – and last night we had this chili-corn chip “pie” thingy. I’m not sure why they called it a ‘pie’, it’s nothing like a pie at all…kinda weird. What it’s supposed to be is a healthier version of a “walking taco” – which is (for those who are a long time removed from the grade school hot lunch program), a meaty chili mixture spooned inside a mini bag of Fritos, then topped with cheese and sour cream and smushed around and eaten out of the bag with a plastic sp’ork.

Oven Dried Tomato Tart with Goat Cheese and Olives
Every summer I go on a quest to find the perfect tomato tart or tomato pie recipe. Last year I made two epic failures, neither of which you read about here. Both contained copius amounts of shredded cheddar cheese and heaps of full fat mayonnaise – which, duh – I should have been able to tell by simply reading through the recipes that they wouldn’t be good (and that’s coming from someone who’s a self-confessed mayo fan). But that’s definitely not the case with today’s recipe – and there’s not a lick of mayo in sight.

Roasted Tomato Soup with Parmesan Wafers
I realize it’s the middle of August and we shouldn’t dare think about a steamy bowl of tomato soup for another three months, but I just had to seize the opportunity. Stem tomatoes are on sale this week for .99 a pound. 99 Cents!! A pound! I’m sorry, but this calls for a batch of soup. If you just can’t stomach the thought of soup in August, then make it now and freeze it for later.

Falafel In Pita & Tomato Cucumber Salad
I was feeling quite adventuresome and tried a new recipe last night – new for me anyway. Since NTYB is off clobbering a zillion balls at tennis camp, I decided to make a meal that he would never in a million years ingest or enjoy: falafel, my friends. An irresistible Israeli concoction of smashed chickpeas, onions and cilantro – served in warm pita, with a creamy yogurt sauce. NTYB repellant for sure.

The Way to a Father’s Heart…
……is through fiscal responsibility. This week’s sale ad features ribeye steaks, crab legs, and jumbo prawns. Delightful. Delicious. Delovely, for sure. But even at their sale price, they’re some pricey menu items. The father of my children would not appreciate a meal of such extravagance at this particular moment in time, I can guarantee you that right now……oh yes, I certainly can.
