Farfalle with Chicken and Asparagus

April 27, 2009 | by Diana

I keep using Asparagus and Chevre because I like the combination but also because asparagus is in season.  I have some asparagus growing in a raised bed, but it’s very little, so I supplement with the store asparagus. Of course, then I keep using the asparagus until it is gone because I don’t want to waste any of it.  The only thing I would add is little pear tomatoes, or dried tomatoes for a little more color, but the flavor as it was is very good.

Chicken stuffed with Asparagus and Herbed Garlic Chevre

April 20, 2009 | by Diana

Since it’s National Garlic Day, I wanted to come up with a dinner that had some nice garlic flavor.  Originally I was going to make a salad with garlic chicken and asparagus, but while I was at the store other thoughts entered my mind and I went with it.  I grilled asparagus on a grill pan first, but maybe it doesn’t really need it.  We loved the whole meal and I will definitely do it again when my daughter’s home, she enjoys it when I come up with something delicious.

Leek and Goat Cheese Galette

April 18, 2009 | by Diana

This is one of my favorite things to do when I want to show off.  Anyone can make it, but the taste is a little different because of the leeks and the goat cheese.  If you are looking for a great side dish to wow the family for Mother’s Day, this is it.  There are never any leftovers of this.  This recipe is from Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone by Deborah Madison – a staple in my cookbook collection for many years.  The picture is of the last slice before my daughter grabbed it and stuck it into her bag to go back to college.
