Alison and Shannon
We're like you. We have families, jobs, lives and commitments. But we also love good food and want to make healthy meals. We don't want to be that person who gets frazzled at 7p.m. because there's nothing to eat in the house. At the same time, we want to spend more time with our friends, talking about our lives and just hanging out...
“Everything is Pastable!”
This quippy saying, coined this morning by Lou, couldn’t be truer and in fact, describes my Monday perfectly.
Say “I Love You” Salad
This salad is a bundle of love. Serve it as a first course for someone you care about and watch him or her swoon with each bite. The heart-shaped beets add a festive touch.

Decorating with Friends
Congratulations to Jackie in NJ for winning the Dolce Gusto coffee machine. Jackie’s story about decorating holiday cookies with her two close friends illustrated how much one can learn by teaming up with a friend that has a special talent. Jackie, who had felt nervous going into their cookie decorating date, felt proud with her end result. She had beautiful holiday cookies which she proudly gave away as gifts to neighbors and friends.
All this bulk cooking and swapping sounds good for some people, but I’m cooking for one and don’t have the freezer space.
There are so many ways to cook together. Do what fits your lifestyle. While you may not want to spend an afternoon making 10 lasagnes (other peoples’ dream) you can find a partner who fits the way you want to cook. You could make yourselves a lovely dinner for that night, or a batch of chili for you each to take home, or cookies to take your college-aged kids. For some, a spouse or family member will be your best cooking friend. If you are cooking with relatives, try to recreate a recipe from your past, whether it is a great-grandmother’s famous dish or a food from your country of origin.
