what right do I have posting a lovely salad like this? Well, I have succeeded this year in maintaining a tiny kitchen herb garden (for how long, I don\u0026#39;t know) and with the unseasonably warm weather in the later half of our growing season we still have plenty of just-picked tomatoes on the counter! I wanted to use up as much as I could with my older Home Ec class, and when I came across a partial bag of quinoa in the freezer I was inspired to make a version of one of my favourite salads from college: tabbouleh. \u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003E\u003Cspan\u003ENormally, you\u0026#39;ll find a rather bare-bones ingredient list in tabbouleh - parsley, mint, bulgur and maybe some lemon and olive oil. This recipe takes the idea and runs with it, swapping in the nutrient dense (and gluten free) quinoa for the bulgur and adding in extra veggies - including deliciously nutty chickpeas and home grown lemon balm. A few twists on the traditional dressing pop up the flavour even more! While this was made and enjoyed the same day by my students and colleagues, the leftovers were even better - my mom began raiding the leftovers in the fridge as a snack and said the mixture just kept getting better with time. \u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003E\u003Cspan\u003EOf course, if quinoa isn\u0026#39;t your thing, the standard \u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3neXMfo\" target=\"_blank\"\u003Ebulgur\u003C\/a\u003E is still perfectly fine here.

However, I did have... some ingredients on hand, none of which were enough for a side dish for more than one person. I immediately thought of making a duck gravy to top a starch, namely potatoes, since I remembered the days of Thanksgiving leftovers prepared just like that. However, the heat and humidity had rendered all but one potato useless, so I immediately thought of my fallback plan - gnocchi!\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\"\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\"\u003EFor this batch I was also lucky enough to be given a carton of no-name cottage cheese that my sister bought but didn\u0026#39;t like the taste of - when pureed, it was ricotta-smooth in texture and worked identically to the Italian cheese in the recipe! A tiny squeeze of lemon juice added the light tang ricotta normally has, and I added a bit of extra salt and some pepper to boost the flavour as well. In addition to the flour, I added in two scoops of the Naked Rice protein powder I had on hand, which not only added nutrition but kept the dough tender (not chewy like the gluten-heavy gnocchi can be).

The meals I often look back on with the most fondness are actually \u0026quot;leftover\u0026quot; meals that mom keeps telling me were thrown together because we didn\u0026#39;t have anything else at the time - I\u0026#39;m talking \u0026quot;eggs the way somebody else\u0026#39;s mother used to make them\u0026quot; (torn up stale bread, buttered and fried in a pan topped with sunny-side up eggs), leftover Kraft Dinner with a handful of frozen peas and some tomato sauce, and left over rice mixed with cottage cheese and salsa. All delicious, all 100% not gourmet or fancy in any way. In university, I carried these recipes with me, eating them for as long as I could before my stomach gave me issues, then making them for my roommates.\u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003Cbr\u003E\nOne of these recipes followed me all the way to today, where I make it with my younger Home Ec kids. Fried spaghetti is essentially just that - leftover sauced pasta fried in a skillet with eggs to hold it all together. Feeling fancy, I added a few herbs to the egg mixture, but in all honesty as long as the sauce you use is decent they are optional. The trick is to really take your time - you want a crispy, crunchy pasta on both sides but you also need the eggs to cook, so spread out the noodles as best you can and cook over medium or medium-low heat for at least 5 minutes a side. I made double batches for the kids and had fridge-cold pasta, so it took us about 10 minutes a side. That said, there were no complaints, and not a single scrap left over!\u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.yummysmells.ca\/2020\/05\/fried-spaghetti.html#more\"\u003EContinued after the jump!\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"blogger-post-footer\"\u003EFind all the goodies on the full site: www.yummysmells.ca\u003C\/div\u003E"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.yummysmells.ca\/feeds\/8042401583076804053\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/www.yummysmells.ca\/2020\/05\/fried-spaghetti.html#comment-form","title":"0 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/159457311435737252\/posts\/default\/8042401583076804053"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/159457311435737252\/posts\/default\/8042401583076804053"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/www.yummysmells.ca\/2020\/05\/fried-spaghetti.html","title":"Fried Spaghetti"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Sarah R"},"uri":{"$t":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/10995934753291549654"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"26","height":"32","src":"\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEhU-hoNDmrrFHElmVkUz4wadhDdiFe8oTMz9jqmI3ursAMSPyh2EhZC8BJxd-5UnZCVYP93FFkcApM-8od9QApzA8KPN32fH__t5aWEqXTnEJRKnQunGf0JP3gwOaA4P5FjjHuc6ISP3kjNEzIfWwFJnvF__yLkQ2tT592721TwSyY\/s220\/IMG_20230120_202445_127.jpg"}}],"media$thumbnail":{"xmlns$media":"http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/","url":"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEjgE3C6CnFX7gcslH42oJofxdDbYrIm48tc1k_yVQn1UNHMZjGIJxmaBI7_V0VWPkuzYTHfxMVC5sxr6ejqC2orP31_ZHoaDIZBFPKF7sOZ3JVQRrBwmbaZ_6Wz_nKfTACU-KB4Q_qRNsuY\/s72-c\/IMG_20191115_212817_967.jpg","height":"72","width":"72"},"thr$total":{"$t":"0"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-159457311435737252.post-7017374144138326681"},"published":{"$t":"2019-10-16T22:59:00.000-04:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2019-10-16T22:59:04.532-04:00"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Gluten - Free 2019 - 2020"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Starchy Side Dishes"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Sugar - Free"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"TNF2019"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Vegetarian 2019"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"Almost Grandma's Mashed Potatoes"},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"Almost Grandma\u0026#39;s Mashed Potatoes are rich, creamy and decadent - perfect for your holiday meal.

In fact, if I could only eat one holiday food the rest of my life, it would be them. Baked in one of her earthenware tureens, the sight of the slightly crusty-topped spud smade my heart sing - and underneath the coveted top layer was some of the most decadent, silky mash I\u0026#39;ve ever had in my life. Over the years, it was extremely common for half my dinner plate to be heaped with them, no gravy necessary.\u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003Cbr\u003E\n Ironically, it was only after decadence (at least in my traditional understanding of it) left my diet that I started to really try and nail down my grandma\u0026#39;s recipe. Being the family heirloom (and \u0026quot;secret recipe\u0026quot;) that it was, there was no written copy to be found anywhere, and when I asked my grandma she gave me the list of ingredients but no amounts or method, so after many cookbook and Google searches I cobbled together a recipe for our Canadian Thanksgiving this year and gave it a whirl.\u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003Cbr\u003E\nThe outcome was shockingly - and I mean shockingly - similar to the original, and dare I say it may even be slightly better (shh!). The potatoes had a perfectly smooth mash without the need for a ricer or fancy tool and each scoop was a perfect golden colour thanks to the cheese and Yukon Golds I used. My whole family (including N and my sister\u0026#39;s boyfriend D) raved about them and took home leftovers, which were polished off within a day. While they are absolutely not a weeknight mashed potato (or one for dieters!) for the holidays, these shout \u0026quot;home\u0026quot; to me and will definitely be the start of a new, old tradition.\u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.yummysmells.ca\/2019\/10\/almost-grandmas-mashed-potatoes.html#more\"\u003EContinued after the jump!\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"blogger-post-footer\"\u003EFind all the goodies on the full site: www.yummysmells.ca\u003C\/div\u003E"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.yummysmells.ca\/feeds\/7017374144138326681\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/www.yummysmells.ca\/2019\/10\/almost-grandmas-mashed-potatoes.html#comment-form","title":"0 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/159457311435737252\/posts\/default\/7017374144138326681"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/159457311435737252\/posts\/default\/7017374144138326681"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/www.yummysmells.ca\/2019\/10\/almost-grandmas-mashed-potatoes.html","title":"Almost Grandma's Mashed Potatoes"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Sarah R"},"uri":{"$t":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/10995934753291549654"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"26","height":"32","src":"\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEhU-hoNDmrrFHElmVkUz4wadhDdiFe8oTMz9jqmI3ursAMSPyh2EhZC8BJxd-5UnZCVYP93FFkcApM-8od9QApzA8KPN32fH__t5aWEqXTnEJRKnQunGf0JP3gwOaA4P5FjjHuc6ISP3kjNEzIfWwFJnvF__yLkQ2tT592721TwSyY\/s220\/IMG_20230120_202445_127.jpg"}}],"media$thumbnail":{"xmlns$media":"http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/","url":"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEhO_KSJaUw4YuV6thGDOq0Ms98DNKKzYnGccnkUBh-GinWU5eVRkrL7q1w1l4Of-8RvnDtQCtlYxJR67Epwqk0pMKZCV29gE4HmCdUD_PanwOExtfBsoKWCy-rF70jzaL6bd5Zm3r7pvjy5\/s72-c\/2019-10-16-11-44-51.jpg","height":"72","width":"72"},"thr$total":{"$t":"0"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-159457311435737252.post-6786359032742444406"},"published":{"$t":"2019-07-30T06:00:00.000-04:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2019-07-30T06:00:03.466-04:00"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Dairy Free (2019 Posts)"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Egg - Free (2019 Posts)"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Gluten - Free 2019 - 2020"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Low - Fat"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Main Course"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Starchy Side Dishes"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Sugar - Free"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"TNF2019"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"WholeGrain 18 to 20"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"Baked Spanish Rice"},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan id=\"react-root\"\u003EBaked Spanish Rice is a hearty, healthy meal in a bowl perfect for the winter blahs when hot, but is also delicious cold as a Summer salad!

Part of this is that I do tend to batch-cook for the week ahead, not just that night\u0026#39;s dinner, so I am able to prep food later in the evening when it\u0026#39;s cooled off a bit. Another is that I\u0026#39;ve been spending a decent portion of my summer out of town, so I need to be able to make meals that travel and hold well too. This baked rice, like so many of my recipes, came out of the fact that I had containers of chicken broth and meat sauce sitting in my freezer from back in the school year that I \u003Ci\u003Ereally\u003C\/i\u003E needed to use up, if only for the reason that I needed freezer space (hello Summer fruit season!). Being a bona fide Spanish rice lover, I wanted to make a version of it that I could throw together and more or less let cook while I gardened and did laundry, and baked rice fit the bill perfectly.\u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003Cbr\u003E\nOf course, I was not content with simply making \u0026quot;pure\u0026quot; Spanish rice, the kind that\u0026#39;s basically tomatoes and white rice. Nope, I wanted a meal in a bowl, full of flavour, protein and veggies, but light on the oil. We always have artichoke hearts on hand (mom loves them), and onions, peppers and carrots are mainstays in the house too. The crowning spice (and one of my personal favourites) was paprika, and I was not shy with it (dial it to your own tastes though). After an hour and a half - where I literally did nothing - I had a huge pot of food that was excellent warm and cold. While it was a meal in itself, it didn\u0026#39;t stop mom from pairing it with some grilled trout for dinner (which honestly looked delicious too!).

The zucchini, cucumbers, carrots and beets are particularly happy in the veggie garden, and the herbs, by and large, are taking off as well. Since we\u0026#39;re deeply mired in the glory of Summer (well, mostly... it was below 20C this morning!) hot meals at noon are not always appreciated. Salads, though, tend not to be overly filling, and sandwiches can be kinda... beige.\u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003Cbr\u003E\nThat\u0026#39;s why I love this pasta salad - packed with fibre and protein from the veggies and chickpeas, hearty with gluten free noodles and full of flavour thanks to a zingy vinaigrette, it was a breeze to whip up a batch first thing in the morning (or last thing at night), then cover and refrigerate it for up to a week, taking servings as needed. The vegetables and chickpeas become marinated by the dressing, eventually exuding their own delicious flavour as well, so every bite is satisfying to the stomach and the palate.\u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003Cbr\u003E\nAs someone who grew up \u003Ci\u003Ehating\u003C\/i\u003E pasta salad as a rule, I have to say this one changed my mind.

My digestion started changing when I was in university - when I couldn\u0026#39;t afford much, if any, meat anyways - and rice, pasta, bread, frozen veggies and canned beans became the new \u0026quot;norm\u0026quot; my second year when I no longer had a meal plan. Through friends with similar monetary restrictions but from various ethnic backgrounds, I began to pick up flavour combinations to add to the relatively plain staples. Roasted frozen broccoli, cauliflower and green beans with garlic, onion, chili flakes, cumin and a hint of cinnamon became a filling, flavourful base for leftover rice and lentils, while spiking jarred tomato sauce with what felt like any and every herb and spice from Bulk Barn (all purchased on Student Discount Days) created the go-to condiment for everything my boyfriend and I ate for almost a month - I\u0026#39;d have it spooned over chickpea-filled tortillas zapped in the microwave, mixed with macaroni, broccoli and cottage cheese for dinner, and (for a brief moment when I could eat them) would use it to poach an egg for breakfast.\u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003Cbr\u003E\nHowever, one of the things I never made in the apartment was sweet and spicy rice pilafs. One major reason was that all the recipes I had - from cookbooks, the web and friends - took an hour or more to make, which simply doesn\u0026#39;t fit with the \u0026quot;home at 8 and starving\u0026quot; student mentality. The other (and probably more pressing) reason was that the ex did. not. like. dried fruit at all. Not Raisin Bran, not date squares, not cranberry-raisin fruit buns fresh from the bakery. As a result, I got my pilafs from the International Buffet section of our cafeteria in the Student Hall once every couple months, and envied the smells of my classmate\u0026#39;s meals as we sat in 3-hour lectures.\u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003Cbr\u003E\nMany years and a breakup later, I re-evaluated one of the recipes I was given by the Student Hall during an event for South African Style Rice. Essentially a mixture of sweet and spicy curry infused into Basmati rice and garnished with raisins, it also relies heavily on dried spices as opposed to fresh onion, etc that take time to cook down. Start to finish, I can get a pot on the table in about 30 minutes, with an extra 10 if I add a can of chickpeas (my favourite legume at the moment) to the pot as it simmers. As a bonus, this rice is absolutely divine cold the next day, but also reheats well on the stovetop, in the oven or in the microwave if you want it warm.\u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003Cbr\u003E\nWorld Vegetarian Day is coming up, and to go with it #SundaySupper is providing a roundup of the best veggie-based offerings our team has to offer.

Once school (aka work) starts up again, time to cook and shop drops to minimal levels - especially for the first month or so, until life settles into the steady hum of routine. Luckily, as a Home Ec teacher, I have a little bit of a \u0026quot;bonus\u0026quot; in my back pocket - by working on recipes for class, I\u0026#39;m also effectively making meals for the week, and there\u0026#39;s always something different to be had. The recipes I make for school all have to be relatively quick, easy enough for the \u0026lt;12 year old set to handle with some sort of supervision, and most importantly, easy to clean up from. Skillet meals have become the \u0026quot;name of the game\u0026quot; this year, and in honour of the glorious hauls of tomatoes and herbs that I\u0026#39;ve been bringing in from the garden I decided to turn some of my homemade \u003C\/span\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.yummysmells.ca\/2016\/09\/always-fluffy-gnocchi.html\"\u003EAlways Fluffy Gnocchi \u003C\/a\u003Einto a light, bright, flavour-packed vegetarian main course.\u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/reid-bee\/28785608141\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" title=\"Sautéed Gnocchi with Pomodo Crudo\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"Sautéed Gnocchi with Pomodo Crudo\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/c6.staticflickr.com\/9\/8432\/28785608141_fae4a2a5b5_b.jpg\" width=\"400\"\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr\u003E\nWith the gnocchi already made and waiting in the freezer, I turned my attention to dicing up some still-warm, s\u003Cspan id=\"intro_text_less\"\u003Eun-ripened tomatoes, microplaning garlic, and mincing up herbs: two types of basil (standard globe and delicate Emerald Wine), lemon balm and thyme. A splash of balsamic and a pinch of salt rounded out the almost-raw sauce, which in combination with the residual olive oil from the gnocchi cooking resulted in a medley of rich, fresh and slightly floral or citrusy flavour which married perfectly with the mild starchiness of the potato pasta. \u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003EI know I\u0026#39;m not alone in the September weeknight rush - the Sunday Supper team has pulled together this week to embrace “Easy Skillet Recipes for Back to School”.

For me, gnocchi is also a double-winner in the sense that it\u0026#39;s something I make that my Italian stepfamily will actually eat! One of the things the extended clan has lamented over the years is the quality of most storebought gnocchi. While I\u0026#39;m sure there are various respectable brands out there, we only have one common option in the grocery store - and it comes shelf-stable in vacuum packs. It\u0026#39;s not \u003Ci\u003Ebad\u003C\/i\u003E, per se, but they do tend to be a bit on the dense, leaden side and don\u0026#39;t soak up sauce very well. If they were matzo balls, they\u0026#39;d be the \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.seriouseats.com\/2015\/04\/how-to-make-the-best-matzo-balls.html\" target=\"_blank\"\u003Esinkers\u003C\/a\u003E. The one truly \u003Ci\u003Egood\u003C\/i\u003E thing I\u0026#39;ve managed to use them for was a baked \u0026quot;mac and cheese\u0026quot; type of pasta and broccoli dish, where their heft managed to bulk up the mixture and add enough texture to be interesting. However, the family here likes gnocchi that float in the pot when they\u0026#39;re cooked through, or better yet, saut\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan id=\"intro_text_less\"\u003Eé to crisp, golden perfection before slipping into a simple pan sauce or meat ragu. It took me a couple tries to get my formula right, but that\u0026#39;s one of the great things about gnocchi - it\u0026#39;s \u003Ci\u003Echeap\u003C\/i\u003E and filling, and even \u0026quot;failures\u0026quot; are pretty darn good (take it from me: lightly pan-fried with rosemary, garlic, mushrooms, smoked paprika and\/or bacon, \u003Ci\u003Enothing\u003C\/i\u003E potato based tastes bad). \u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003Cspan id=\"intro_text_less\"\u003EThis final batch, though, is way better than anything you\u0026#39;ll find in the store! The secret, I find, is adding a mixture of potato starch and baking powder to the flour and egg normally found in the dough - one binds without making the works \u0026quot;doughy\u0026quot; and tough, while the other ensures they puff with the heat of boiling water or a sizzling pan.

They have to be russets - a floury potato - otherwise the mash is like working with slightly melted crayons (white and red potatoes are called \u0026quot;waxy\u0026quot; for a reason!), and for these purposes moist cooking methods like boiling are not your friend.

Not only are they packed with nutrition, but they have such unique flavour profiles (compared to refined starches) that you can\u0026#39;t ignore them on a plate. While there are a good amount of them that take a while to cook thoroughly, I\u0026#39;ve been able to find a handful of delicious and \u003Ci\u003Efast\u003C\/i\u003E options to keep in the weeknight pantry.\u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003Cbr\u003E\nOne of those wholegrain staples is bulgur. You\u0026#39;ve seen it in breads of mine, and may have even eaten it in tabbouleh once or twice - but my favourite way to enjoy the par-cooked cracked wheat is in pilafs or as a base for stir fries. Fluffy and couscous-size, it\u0026#39;s a base that can stand up well to intense flavours, especially those from Middle Eastern and African cooking. It\u0026#39;s lickety-split to cook too, so it makes a great last minute side. To streamline the whole pilaf process even more, I sometimes mix up a few batches of the dry ingredients on the weekend. That way, the whole process doesn\u0026#39;t take any longer than a pre-packaged side dish would and you know you haven\u0026#39;t forgotten anything!

Like the most precious of gems, true ones are hard to find, and harder to keep. Unlike cold stone though, friends can provide warmth, true happiness, a listening ear or a gentle, caring touch when the rest of the world is cold and grey. Unfortunately, you can\u0026#39;t buy friend-surance, and you can\u0026#39;t bribe a scorned past amigo to trust you again. I lost two of my best friends from highschool over one of the most inane pursuits of my life - a boy - thinking that they would always be there. Now, their absence is omnipresent and a reminder to cherish the ones you have as comrades. Love may be fleeting, but a friendship is like a garden. Nurture it and it stays beautiful, neglect it and it dies.\u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003Cbr\u003E\nI suppose I shouldn\u0026#39;t be overly shocked that I don\u0026#39;t have many friends outside of the blogging realm. Food blogging is still somewhat strange to those around me, and people don\u0026#39;t understand the passion for cooking that we share. That said, my blogging friends (like everyone in the #SundaySupper group) are an amazing network that I can only pray stays healthy and vibrant, and those who I\u0026#39;ve met in person are just as much so.\u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003Cbr\u003E\nIn terms of non-virtual human contact, I find it tricky. I\u0026#39;m not an overly extroverted person, and since I don\u0026#39;t drink or party there aren\u0026#39;t a whole lot of social avenues outside school that make sense. I managed to make a few great friends in my Montessori training, and in particular I owe not only my school success but my emotional benefit to one of them. It was for him that I made this batch of pasta dough - being an Italian food lover and a budding home cook with limited time and resources to buy more \u0026quot;gourmet\u0026quot; items like artisanal, preservative free pasta, I knew that this small gift of a herb and garlic laced dinner option would be appreciated. It is in no way equal to the benefits I\u0026#39;ve been given, but with luck our friendship will stay fast and I will be able to give back.\u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003Cbr\u003E\nWhile our Canadian Thanksgiving was over a month ago, I believe that it isn\u0026#39;t just \u003Ci\u003Eone\u003C\/i\u003E day that matters to give thanks, but \u003Ci\u003Eevery \u003C\/i\u003Eday. Not only do we have the luxury of living in a safe, warm and caring environment, but we have the chance to go to school, have careers, choose and practice our religious and lifestyle preferences, eat wholesome food (even to the point of too much at times) and realize our dreams. No matter how tough and unfair things seem on a given day, simply being alive is a gift. \u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/reid-bee\/9970012674\/\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" title=\"Eggless Herb \u0026amp; Garlic Pasta by jazzijava, on Flickr\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"Eggless Herb \u0026amp; Garlic Pasta\" height=\"240\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3813\/9970012674_947cbb0e12_z.jpg\" width=\"320\"\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr\u003E\nOur \u003Cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/sundaysuppermovement.com\/\"\u003E#SundaySupper\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E group is giving thanks for what we have this week, and sharing tales of our good fortunes along with fare fit for the festive season.

However, most of us don\u0026#39;t have the luxury of nonnas slaving away in our kitchens every afternoon, churning out linguine, spaghetti and tagliatelle in time for us to make dinner.

Anything heavier than a light (\u003Ci\u003Elight!\u003C\/i\u003E) tomato concasse or a true (i.e. cream-free) carbonara preparation would smother the tender noodles and kill their unique golden hue and rich flavour.\u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003Cbr\u003E\nWhile pasta is inherently simple to make (I\u0026#39;m not talking about the \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.mummyicancook.com\/2013\/01\/how-to-make-asian-egg-alkaline-noodles.html\" target=\"_blank\"\u003EChinese lye-water noodles\u003C\/a\u003E, mind you), it \u003Ci\u003Edoes \u003C\/i\u003Etake time and patience.

Some movies have food as a star or prominent highlight. This week the #SundaySupper crew is all about the movies and the recipes they inspire. Whether it\u0026#39;s the whimsy of the genius rodent in Ratatouille, the close-to-home blogger saga of Julie \u0026amp; Julia or the heartwarming feastaval of Big Night, food has never been so entertaining!

Growing up, M\u0026amp;C meant breaking out the blue box of Kraft Dinner and mixing the powdery, neon cheese into limp noodles. Granted, the stuff \u003Ci\u003Ewas \u003C\/i\u003Edelicious enough in it\u0026#39;s own right, especially day-old and mixed with spaghetti sauce, leftover chopped turkey and frozen peas. But homemade mac? A whole other animal, and frankly, an equally good (if not a tiny bit better) cheesy meal for the whole family when you have a few extra minutes to bake the dish while making a salad and setting the table. The sauce takes less time to make than the pasta takes to cook, and the baking is more a formality than anything, to brown the crumbs and get that nice crispy crust.\u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/reid-bee\/8546532668\/\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" title=\"Comfort by jazzijava, on Flickr\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"Comfort\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8245\/8546532668_3e1a82d33b_z.jpg\" height=\"284\" width=\"320\"\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr\u003E\nI took my inspiration from the movie Soul Food, about the interweaving lives of a southern family that always convened for a Sunday dinner.

How many of you don\u0026#39;t want to eat another iota of turkey, potatoes, cranberry sauce or gravy for as long as you live (or at least for another year)? I hear you - really I do. Our household played chief cook and bottle washer for a big Italian Christmas Eve meal, Christmas morning brunch and that night\u0026#39;s feast as well - and our freezer has gone from being packed with raw ingredients to being stuffed with bits of turkey, vegetables, fish and various breads. Even though it may be the 28th now, if you can believe it we \u003Ci\u003Estill \u003C\/i\u003Ehave one more big shindig to host and cook for before it\u0026#39;s all over!\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003E\n \u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003E\nThankfully, the majority of my stepdad\u0026#39;s birthday party is catered by a third party (taking the pressure off my mom) but, just like home-cooked holiday meals, there\u0026#39;s always too much food left over at the end! While a lot of the items (particularly the cooked and sauced veggies and the salads) aren\u0026#39;t great the day after, some of the items on our holiday table are not only tasty, but \u003Ci\u003Ebetter\u003C\/i\u003E after a stint in the fridge. This stuffing (or dressing, if you prefer) is one of them. \u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003E\nNow, I\u0026#39;m the first to admit that I really don\u0026#39;t like stuffing at all - the greasy, damp texture and odd blend of flavours has been putting me off since I was old enough to hold a fork. I don\u0026#39;t like bread pudding either, so that may be a sign! However, if you don\u0026#39;t think of this as the traditional, shoved-in-the-carcass side dish, and more of a savoury bread casserole, the piquant sourdough and sweet-spicy mixture of herbs and aromatics is somewhat endearing. The day it\u0026#39;s made, it has a delectable crunchy top that crouton lovers and fans of anything \u003Ci\u003Eau gratin\u003C\/i\u003E will covet.

If I\u0026#39;m going to eat a sweet potato, I\u0026#39;m eating it because I like the flavour of sweet potatoes, not butter and sugar.

I devised this \u0026quot;redux\u0026quot; of Martha\u0026#39;s sweet potatoes during my grandmother\u0026#39;s birthday party with the help of my great aunt, a fantastic cook in her own right. Firstly, roasting the cubes of potato instead of the original \u0026quot;boil to death\u0026quot; method preserves more nutrients and concentrates the naturally sweet flavour  of the tubers. A touch of olive oil and blood orange juice replaces the butter and cream, and the whole dish gets a wallop of flavour from garlic both roasted alongside the cubes and minced fresh into the mix with a green onion. Fresh parsley, black pepper and a dash of salt finished up the side, which I pureed in a food processor for presentation (though my personal preference, if I \u003Ci\u003Ehave \u003C\/i\u003Eto have mashed sweets, is skin on and lumpy).

I wrote the recipes up on a whim as the ideas for ingredient combinations popped into my head, and in a few moments of spare time on the weekend (spare time? What the heck is that?) I popped some pots on the stove, some veggies in a bowl and cooked myself slightly saner.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;\"\u003EFor now.

At least mine are (more or less) out the window - I know enough to not bother making any pledges regarding my blogging (because really, that's just \u003Cem\u003Easking\u003C\/em\u003E for failure, isn't it?) but I had vowed to get myself more organized personally. In essence, I really wanted to get my appointment book in order and updated (something I haven't done since October!), put away my Christmas gifts (errr... not yet), file all my schoolwork from the last three semesters (um, not that either... but I \u003Cem\u003Edid\u003C\/em\u003E catch up on the\u0026nbsp;2006 papers!) and if the planets aligned, get the 20 or so cookbooks in my room off my floor and into some sort of system (uh huh... still # 7 or 8 on the list!). So yeah, I fall into the category of the \"nonstarters\" when it comes to that kind of thing!\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nI guess I'm can say that for the past 7 or 8 years I've been lucky enough\u0026nbsp;to have escaped making the most popular resolution out there - the one to \u003Cem\u003Eeat healthier, lose weight, yadda yadda yadda\u003C\/em\u003E. Yeah, you know that one, right? Don't get me wrong... I still aim every day to eat a healthy diet (it's not just a weight-loss or New Years thing... it's a forever thing!)\u0026nbsp;including lots of fruit, veggies, limited processed and prepackaged stuff, and definitely cutting down on the salt that's in \u003Cu\u003Eeverything\u003C\/u\u003E these days!

I found that when I chilled this before baking it (like I usually do for my lasagnes) it got kind of \"gummy\" (to quote my mother) - I'd bake it ASAP next time. You will also need every bit of counter space you own, especially if you're making your own pasta!

Ah, well, 'tis still the season for BBQs and picnics (at least for a few more weeks!), and whenever I think of those types of group events I always think of salads. Whether they're pasta, rice, cabbage or potato based, at least one offering of every summer party I've been to has had one thing in common - a creamy, mayo-based, super-heavy dressing. For some odd reason they seem to be \"the thing\" for Summer, though why - seeing as the whole non-refrigeration thing is an issue in the heat - is a mystery.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EI personally prefer my salads to be more on the leaft green side, but I will be the first to admit they aren't exactly filling.

Garlicky and spicy from a hint of Dijon mustard, this is a creamily-dressed potato salad - but it's light on the goo-factor, and you'd never know it was mayo free! If you use it to top off a bed of mixed greens or baby spinach (go iron-building!) it's a yummy, protein-packed salad dressing. No picnics calling for your services? Serve it up for lunch or as a dinner side too, since this is one of those awesome seasonal recipes that works hot, room temperature or straight from the fridge. Do make sure to store it in the refrigerator though, the tofu may not be as volatile as mayo, but it will spoil! And, like any good potato salad, make sure you use a good \"boiling-style\" or \"waxy\" potato that holds up to cooking...
