Banana-Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

A great use for leftover bananas is the Cooking Light recipe for Banana-Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. Josh actually took what was left in a ziploc to work with him - not a typical practice when I make cookies!

Olive, Tomato and Cheese Sandwiches

Simplifying a wichCraft recipe, I made some Olive, Tomato and Cheese sandwiches.

I combined fresh mozzarella, slices of provolone, chopped black olives and some roasted tomatoes between slices of country bread. I wrapped each sandwich in foil, and cooked them for 15 minutes in an oven heated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Josh liked it, but it was definitely a messy meal!

Hoisin Chicken with Soba Noodles, Carrots and Zucchini

Cook soba noodles per instruction.
Julienne a medium carrot and 2 zucchini (I have a julienne peeler - makes it much easier!)
Cut up chicken tenders and cook with crushed red pepper, hoisin sauce and a little teriyaki sauce.
Combine with strips of red bell pepper, fresh grated ginger and garlic.

Turkey, Arugula and Diced Tomato Pasta

Pasta with turkey sausage, arugula, diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, garlic, white wine and chicken broth...
Add some cheese if you like!

Spicy Orange Broccolini

Cook broccolini in salted water. In the meantime, mix orange juice, extra virgin olive oil and crushed red pepper in a sauce pan. Combine.

Balsamic Strawberries with Arugula and Goat Cheese

The other day I made a salad composed of Balsamic Strawberries with Arugula and Goat Cheese (a Mark Bittman recipe).

I liked it, but Josh - not so much! I think the color of the salad with the balsamic vinegar did not appear appetizing to him, but I liked the taste of it with the strawberries.

Berry-Peach Cobbler with Sugared Almonds

There isn't much in the food world that can top fresh produce at the height of its season.

Unless, of course, you add ice cream to that produce.

I made a Cooking Light recipe - Berry-Peach Cobbler with Sugared Almonds - and it was great!
