Smoked Salmon Farfalle

March 25, 2015 By Jana Tolman Leave a Comment

Smoked salmon farfalle pasta with asparagus and red bell peppers–a perfect Spring meal!

My husband and I participate in a weekly produce co-op. Every Saturday morning, we pick up a basket full of delicious fruits and veggies–we don’t know beforehand what we’ll be getting each week. This week I was pleased to discover two big, beautiful bunches of asparagus and red bell peppers. It was a sign–we were having smoked salmon farfalle for dinner.

This dish is one of my favorites that we served in the restaurant I worked in during high school–I still have my battered, stained pocket size notebook with the recipe I scribbled down as the chef taught me to make it. My husband absolutely loves this dish too, so anytime asparagus is on sale, we make this pasta. If we’re really craving it and asparagus isn’t in season, we’ll substitute frozen peas.

Strawberry Lemonade Muffins // @speckledpalate for @mycookingspot

It’s officially the springtime!

The spring always makes me think of strawberries, even though I could happily enjoy strawberries year-round. (And I kind of did during the final portion of pregnancy… they were just SO good with everything!)

You know what else I think about during the springtime?

Lemonade.

Guinness and Chocolate Milkshakes with Jameson Cream

Chocolate and Guinness Milkshakes // @speckledpalate for @mycookingspot

Whenever I think of St. Patrick’s Day, I think of early morning parades — I did spend my college years in Louisiana, after all — and Irish drinks… namely Guinness and Jameson.

It’s a random combination, especially since I don’t particularly enjoy Guinness or Jameson on their own and never drank them at a parade.

However, I love using them in dishes.

And these milkshakes? Well, they’d make a spectacular St. Patrick’s Day dessert… or pick-me-up during the day, if you’re into that kind of thing.

Now is the time for family and guests; for a full house, for friends, parties and caroling. It’s time for wrapping up work, prepping the house, hanging decorations and spending time with family. Now if you can balance it all out do please send me your secret. If you are like me though, you are feeling more than a little behind and more than a little exhausted. Trying to fill the days with cheer and merriment can certainly wear a girl out! Feeding all of those guests and family members certainly can do you in as well. The key of course is managing expectations, giving your self a little grace and some help in the kitchen. Now the first two items I can’t help with but the third, readers, I have you covered.
