Orecchiette with Kale, Bacon, and Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Cooking Light December 2010
Banana Cream, Food Network Magazine December 2009
For dinner we made this light pasta, which is seemingly-healthy, except that everything is cooked in bacon fat-- yum! It's a very quick recipe. The kale is thrown in with the pasta for the last couple minutes to cook. The garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, and red pepper are cooked in the drippings from the bacon, which is crumbled over the top. Everything is just thrown together at the end and topped with some lemon juice, which gives it a sort of odd, out of place tang.
I don't normally choose recipes with sun-dried tomatoes since I don't like them very much, but G commented that he really likes them. I didn't remember that! So maybe we should try it more often. This was a good recipe, although G pointed out that he liked the Sunday Sauce more! It's hard for vegetables to compete with meat, I guess :-P
After dinner I whipped up this cocoa. The recipe isn't online, but it's just 1.5 c milk, 1/2 banana, 1 T sugar, 1/2 t cinnamon, and 2.5 oz chocolate chips melted in. You're supposed to puree it, but I didn't want to dirty another dish so I just mashed up the banana as I stirred. It's ok, but not spectacular. Blending it might have helped, but I think also it might just make a better milkshake than a cocoa.
