Cooking with Sara: Roasted Asparagus with Browned Butter Balsamic Sauce

It's Thursday!  So, it's my day to cook for the food blog!


Ok, so yes, that title is a doozie.  But when I tried to whittle it down, I couldn't think of what word to leave off - Certainly not the asparagus, it's the main player here.  And it needs the balsamic in there so that you know it's not just a veggie plus butter.  And, oh, that browned butter is truly the nectar of the gods, so it can't possibly be left out....  And, there you go.  A long, stumbly recipe name that only uses a handful of ingredients.  But don't let its simplicity fool you.  This side will quickly become the star of your dinner show.  And you won't even mind when it asks for its own separate trailer and chair with its long, rambling name printed on the back.



Also!  Mellisa and I just started rearranging the furniture and picking paint samples over at the Blah blog.  We're giving it a whole new look, and it's shaping up to be really cute!  We plan to rotate that top banner photo in and out; the inaugural one up there with berries is a photo that Mellisa took - so pretty!

Cooking with Sara: 1-Ingredient Ice Cream

It's Thursday!  Which means that it's my day to cook for the Blah blog!

Oh boy.  This recipe is fun!  You throw frozen bananas into a food processor and voila!  Ice cream comes out!  Ice cream that's very low in calories, is sugar free and dairy free, and has zero Weight Watchers points.  It's basically a magic recipe.  It may even cause unicorns to skip and prance around your yard, so keep watch out for them.


You really need to click-zoom this photo.
It's pretty crazy how creamy and smooth frozen bananas can get!
