Goat Cheese / Pear Bruschetta

Oops, the serving platter is full and I have 5 left? What to do, what to do...

These are so simple and delicious. Just get some good-quality ingredients, put them together, and you've got a crowd pleaser on your hands.

There's no cooking involved here, unless you get par-baked bread and bake it yourself at the last minute (recommended). Just layer bread with goat cheese, pear, honey, and cinnamon.

I'm going to pull an Ina Garten here and specify that you should get "good honey." I don't think this would be good with your standard store-bought honey; I'd probably skip the honey in that case. Get yourself some truly delicious honey from the farmer's market and showcase it here.

My honey of choice. My sister agrees; this bottle was mostly full before her recent visit.

The Recipe:

1 baguette, sliced into rounds

4 oz goat cheese

2 tsp good honey

1 pear, sliced into as many pieces as you have rounds of bread

cinnamon, to taste

Spread goat cheese onto bread
Place a slice of pear atop the cheese
Drizzle with honey
Sprinkle with cinnamon

The Verdict:

Overall grade: A-

Overall reason: Delicious and easy

Time to prepare: 10 minutes, tops

Husband quote: (None. I'm taking these to girls' night.)

Kitchen renovation!

BEFORE: AFTER: Still to come: a beautiful new induction range and some wood shelving on the left side, above the backsplash. And maybe the shelving unit on the wall facing the cabinets should be green, but we're going to live with a while before making that decision.

Red lentil dal

Cucumber salad is key. This dal is perfect. Most of us took seconds, and I'm really excited to eat the last portion that's sitting in the fridge right now. The accompanying salad is really great for adding texture, crunch, and acidity to the meal. I wouldn't skip it. I got it from Tea for Turmeric and prepared it pretty much as written, but doubled and with none of the optional ingredients. This recipe doesn't mention any seasoning/dressing on the salad, but adding lemon and salt to it really brightened things up. The Recipe: (from Tea for Turmeric) 2 c red lentils splash of avocado oil 2 tsp cumin seeds 2 small onions, finely chopped 1 inch ginger, grated 4 small tomatoes, chopped 2 thai chilies, minced 2 tsp cumin powder 2 tsp coriander powder 1 tsp cayenne 1 tsp turmeric 2+ tsp kosher salt 2 tsp lemon juice 1/2 c cilantro, chopped For serving: basmati rice and plain yogurt Salad ingredients: 1/2 english cucumber, sliced 10 cherry tomatoes, quartered 1/4 onion, slic...

Vietnamese Curry Stir-Fry

When I get the recipe just right, I'll go to the effort of adding fried shallots on top. I'm back to my on-and-off mission of trying to make a stir-fry as delicious as the shrimp I used to get at Pho Grand in St. Louis during college. It was called "cari tom" but it definitely wasn't a coconut milk type of curry, and they ALSO have a separate listing on their menu for "cari tom dac biet" which includes "coconut milk sauce" in their description. So I'm pretty sure it was just a stir-fry that had curry flavors in it? I got myself a big container of Vietnamese curry powder and I'm going to keep experimenting. This is the closest I've come so far. Changes for the future: - More oil and sugar, restaurant style - A blend of fish sauce and soy sauce, instead of just soy sauce - Fried shallots on top The Recipe (adapted from Veggie Anh ): 3 tb fresh lemongrass, chopped 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 Thai chili, minced 1 pinch salt 2 tb avoc...
