It seriously seems as though October just arrived, and now suddenly November is in full swing. I had a wonderful weekend with two of my best friends this past weekend. Saturday became our day of food- first an elegant tea/brunch followed by a day of cooking! If only I had a few moments to share some of the amazing recipes of what we made, including:
-Pear-Gorgonzola Salad
-Baked Goat Cheese & Cranberries on Ciabatta
-Asiago-Scallion Whole Wheat Scones
-Elyse's Homemade Macaroni & Cheese (my first real time eating Mac n Cheese!)
-Ashley's Apple Tart
-Slow Cooked Spiced Apple Cider
Unfortunately, this wasn't the healthiest meal in the world (well hello, saturated fats!), but it sure was delicious! Until I can figure out how to put up the great pictures we took, you can take my word that it looked (and tasted!) amazing.
Probably the easiest 'recipe' of the evening was my Pear-Gorgonzola Salad. It had a crunch and sweetness from the asian pears that complemented the tangy, creamy gorgonzola. If I had been thinking, I would have added some walnuts for their heart-protective monounsaturated fats (and yummy-ness).
Pear-Gorgonzola Salad
2 bags Romaine Lettuce (I enjoy romaine's crunch, but the darker the leaves, the more phytonutrients & vitamins!)
2 small Asian Pears, chopped
1/2 c. Walnuts
1/4 c. Gorgonzola, crumbled
5 oz Champagne Vinaigrette
This is why I love salads- the instructions usually are as follows: "Mix ingredients together, and enjoy." So easy, and this salad is no different. Hopefully in the next few days I'll collect the other recipes (and beg that they be removed from "secret recipe" status) so that I can share them soon!
Dietetically Yours,
Lorilyn
