Giada is Coming to Town!

SO most of y'all know my obsession with the food network and know that I have autographed cookbooks from Paula Deen and Rachael Ray and I AM SO EXCITED to add another cookbook to my collection....Giada De Laurentis cooks on the Food Network on her show Everyday Italian.  On April 7 Giada is coming to the Williams and Sonoma at Northpark Mall! All you have to do is buy her new cookbook and pick up a ticket at Williams Sonoma in Northpark.  If you are in Dallas I encourage you to go and you can stand in line with me!  

Happy Tuesday!

30 Minute Meal meets Semi-Homemade

Last week I needed something good for dinner but I was hungry so I wanted to make something quick...so this is what I came up with and I think it was pretty good because Nicki, my roomate, took leftovers to work two days in a row.  Ok, sorry I didn't take any pictures but this is so simple you don't need em....last week I made whole wheat tortellini and doctored up some sauce from a jar....First I sauted 2 cloves of chopped garlic and chopped mushrooms in EVOO....then I added a jar of Bertolli tomato sauce then added kalamata olives, pine nuts, basil, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.  Meanwhile while that was cooking, I preheated the oven to 425 and tossed some asparagus and cauliflower in EVOO, sprinkled with garlic, oregano, salt and pepper and baked for 15 minutes.  This meal is quick, easy and very tasty!

Bon Appetite!

XOXO
