Tortellini En Brodo (Broth)

December 18, 2013 Amanda Plott

I'm honestly... exhausted today as I write this. My little girl was up the most of the night with a cough. I tried everything I knew to do and nothing seemed to soothe or calm it. Finally, sometime in the wee hours of the morning I grabbed her up and brought her in bed to cuddle up with me.

Simple & Clean Summer Spaghetti

August 1, 2013 Amanda Plott

This is a super simple summer dish that's light, full of flavor, and comes together in all of 15 minutes! There is barely any cooking required. I promise!

Don't be scared. I realize that the tomatoes in this are not cooked. I think that's what keeps this dish so fresh and perfect for summer! Of course, the lemon and fresh basil don't hurt...

Skinny Pesto

Well... as skinny and simple as you can make it without losing any of that great distinct flavor.

I think I made my weight in pesto last summer when my basil plant outside was going growing like crazy. I love fresh basil, and what better to do with it than make some yummy fresh pesto with it?

Really. What better?

It's getting hot.

I was wanting something light and refreshing this week, but still full of flavor. Enter the Caprese Salad. It's a simple salad that's generally comprised of sliced tomato, fresh mozzarella, basil leaves, and balsamic vinegar. Easy enough...
