Mother's Day brunch menu ideas: Strawberry mint salad

I like to make up salads. It's one of things I happen to be good at, especially fruit salads. One that I haven't gotten around to trying yet is the strawberry mint salad that's been bouncing around my head lately. But my slowness is your gain. This would be a great fruit dish to serve with all of the egg and bread and breakfast meat options that are sure to be on the table.

Simply cut the stems off the strawberries and cut them in half or quarters, after washing them thoroughly of course. Chop up a bunch of fresh mint leaves and toss together with the strawberries. Drizzle the mixture with some balsamic vinegar, and voila. Quantities are hard to say. I'd do a tablespoon or so of chopped mint per pint of berries. Balsamic vinegar is completely to taste.

Roast your carrots for a quick weeknight side dish

I had something of a whirlwind weekend in which I hung out with a bunch of Philly bloggers, helped a friend arrange the couches in her new house and baked a batch of brownies to take to an impromptu dinner party. Other than the brownies, I didn't do much in the way of cooking and by last night, I was aching to get back into the kitchen and make some easy food that tasted good and wasn't ordered off a menu.

The meal I cooked was fairly simple, just some chicken breasts marinated in balsamic vinegar, olive oil and chopped rosemary (grilled up quickly on my trusty George Foreman grill--it's not fancy but it does the job really well), steamed broccoli and roasted carrots. However, it was deeply satisfying.

The carrots were an especially nice touch as they aren't one of my normal sides. They brought added color and sweetness to a meal that could have been a little boring otherwise. Typically I don't peel carrots, but these had been in my crisper drawer for some time and so had gotten a little furry and funky, so I quickly stripped them of their skins. I cut them on the bias for maximum surface area, tossed them with salt, pepper and olive oil and popped them in a 425 degree oven for about half an hour. They came out sweet and tender, but not mushy. You could do the same thing with those half-empty bags of baby carrots that often gather in the produce drawer. By using them, you wouldn't even have to chop them to prepare.

Retro Cookery: Vinegar Pie

Vinegar Pie In honor of Jerry Lewis hosting his Labor Day MDA Telethon today, I thought I'd bring you this recipe for something his grandma used to make all the time and that he loved.

It's Vinegar Pie. It's not a dessert you hear people talking about much anymore. Certainly the fact that is has vinegar in it is probably something people will find a little odd, but come on, you need a little adventure in your life. Full recipe after the jump.

Fava Bean, Asparagus, and Arugula Salad with Shaved Pecorino

We usually turn to fellow bloggers for our food porn shots, but this salad at Epicurious.com looked so tasty that I had to share. The ingredients are simple: just combine asparagus, fava beans, arugula, sliced Pecorino Romano cheese, and a mix of olive oil and balsamic for the dressing. They also suggest that you can use shelled edamame in place of the fava beans, though I would be inclined to add both, myself. You can check out the complete recipe at their website via this link.
