  • Amazing Italian Salame with Brie, Pesto and Arugula Panini's from Real Food Girl: Unmodified

    Prosciutto, Calabrese Salame & Capocollo Panini’s with Melted Brie, Pesto and Arugula

    I went to Trader Joe’s today and when I was walking into the store, I saw a couple making sandwiches out of the back of their SUV.  I figured they had to travel a ways to get to the nearest Trader Joe’s to them, and they were hungry and wanted to eat something before the long drive back.  Anyway, I noticed they had some salami and French baguettes–which looked SO good.  Their humble lunch in the parking lot inspired me to make these panini’s.  I love panini’s.  Some day I hope to be able to afford a higher quality press so that I don’t have to fold a towel three ways from Sunday…

    Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Buttercream Frosting

    Do you know what you’ll love about this post?  It features cake.  And, chocolate. And, chocolate cake.  That is actually three things.  Oh wait, it also features chocolate buttercream frosting.  So that would be four things you’ll love about this post.  I wanted to share this recipe back when I was doing my week of chocolate recipes in June, but for whatever reason I never got around to baking the cake.  I’m not sure why.  The important thing is that I decided to make one last cake before I pack all my baking dishes and supplies. I chose this cake because I promised it, and also because this cake is so rich and…

    Organic Chicken Pasta Salad

    Can you believe that the end of summer is fast approaching?  I can’t.  We had our last measurable snow storm in mid-May here in Minnesota, so to know that cooler temps are on the way kinda makes me a wee bit happier that we’re moving to South Carolina in 11 days.  I realized I had to get the rest of my pasta salad recipes posted before Labor Day.  I don’t want y’all to go hungry.  This recipe is a favorite of The Stud Muffin’s.  This man has never met a cold pasta salad that he didn’t like.  Throw some organic peas and chicken in there and the man is happier than a tick…
