Three layer shrimp dish. Couscous on the bottom, raw zucchini salad (salt, pepper, olive oil) in the middle, shrimp on top. Dusted a little paprika on top for color and additional flavor. Nice.

Simple Zucchini Italiano
A simple salad to accompany some simple poached salmon. Paying homage to the Italian flag, simply zucchini and red pepper, seasoned with saltie, peppie, oregano and olive oil. Bella!
Sans Caterpillar
Pan roasted Brussels Sprouts, starting with some rendered pancetta and olive oil. Salt, pepper and some fresh thyme. Delightful!
Lidia – Pasta Con Lenticche
I saw this on Lidia’s show, and wanted to try it. It’s so new that it is not on her web site yet, but I found a fan transcription at http://www.food.com/recipe/pasta-with-lentils-pasta-con-lenticche-lidia-bastianich-422506 It is needlessly complex, and I simplified it by cooking the pasta and doing everything else in a single pan.
Eat Italian, Dream Italian
It’s apparently “Treat Thursday”. Caffe Baci Milano pizza: arugula, prosciutto and parmesan. Awesome!
Tuesday Dinner (new recipe)
Pasta with Arugula, White Beans and Walnuts. Oddly, the base recipe is from Martha (http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/pasta-with-arugula-white-beans-and-walnuts) It’s a hit!
If it’s Friday
It must be Pita Inn on the menu. Just like every Friday menu.
Shrimp and Broccoli
Quin-whaaaa?
Quinoa with pesto and cherry tomatoes. And how dare spell check tell me that quinoa isn’t a word!
Funnel Cake Fries
The only good thing about having to work concessions is the discovery of this beloved food.
