Radish and baby lettuce salad
Hot tea

I'm not usually a big fan of sun dried tomatoes or spinach pasta. So it seems crazy that I printed this recipe out. Nonetheless, relatively recently, I did. We even decided to make it pretty quickly afterwards. Here's the most amazing part - it's wonderful and both the ingredients I usually don't like are a big part of why. The flavor combination is lovely. My only caveat is that the fresh spinach pasta has to be good. Wegman's brand worked very well!
Prep Notes
Difficulty: Easy
Chopping: Onion, artichokes, garlic, sun dried tomatoes, thyme
Time: 35 minutes
Make ahead: I would do this last minute.
Reaction
J: "Spinach pasta turns out to be excellent!"
M: "Spring-y, green, and satisfying!"

It's been said that the average American family is stuck in a ten dinner rut, meaning they repeat the same ten meals over and over, week after week. I can't believe that's true, so here's a forum to write about "what's for dinner?". I want to cook a wide variety of meals that are tasty, easy to prepare, inexpensive, healthy, and sustainable. Is that too much to ask? I don't think so.
The very special posts
