Italian Spinach Soup by John Spottiswood

Suprise, surprise. Another amazing recipe adapted from Marcella Hazan's Essential's of Italian Cooking. This is one of my bibles. Not only did I love this spinach soup, but all four of my kids did too! Everyone had mutiple servings. We served it with simple sourdough toast, though Crostini (Italian croutons) is what Marcella…

Pasta with Grape or Cherry Tomatoes by Nancy Miyasaki

This is a great pasta from an island off the coast of Italy that I adapted from Giada de Laurentiis. The roasting of the tomatoes and capers with the bread crumbs makes for flavorful and original pasta. I've served this with and without basil, and prefer it with basil though it is delicious either way.

I started with the recipe the chef gave her, but it was just a list of…

Brown Butter Pancakes with Sheet Pan Berries by Doctor Jo

Brown butter pancakes with sheet pan berries are super fluffy, simple, and delicious. They look like you spent the whole morning making them. Make a double batch as everyone will want seconds. They are that good. Serve them for brunch with my Hashbrown Casserole or Artichoke Egg Bake.

Luncheon Pasta Salad by Salad Foodie

A refreshing light pasta salad for a main dish luncheon or summer potluck. I like small or medium shell pasta, but elbow, ditalini or bow tie pastas are good choices too.

Brown Rice & Quinoa Salad by April Decheine

Although this is an ideal single dish to serve to vegetarians it is also versatile and unusual enough to serve as accompaniment to meat and fish and it goes particularly well with couscous or brown rice. This dish is easy to prepare and you can vary the ingredients to suit your own tastes. In summer you can also serve this dish at…
