Oricchiette with Greens and Goat Cheese

This is one of my favorite pasta dishes.  It’s easy to make - a matter of tossing a few ingredients together – and the creamy, tangy goat cheese is the perfect complement to the soft pasta and wilted greens.  A perfect, light weeknight dinner, the work of 15 minutes or less.  Now that’s what I call [...]

Apple and Pecan Salad with Goat Cheese

I’ve sung the praises of salad on here before, I know.  It is a wonderful way to get lots of nutrients in a light dish, it’s endlessly adaptable to the seasons, it’s a snap to put together after a long day… is there anything bad about salad?  If there is, it’s just that salad can [...]

Tomato and Goat Cheese Frittata

Frittatas are a standby in my kitchen – one of the easiest dinners imaginable, with endless variations so you never get bored.  You can throw absolutely anything into a frittata, and it’ll be delicious.  Well… maybe not anything.  Chocolate cake, for instance, would make a pretty weird frittata.  But almost anything else is welcome.  I’ve [...]
