In my attempt to cook from every cookbook I own, I decided to make the Parmesan Roasted Asparagus from this Barefoot Contessa’s cookbook. It was a great accompaniment to the Chicken Burgers I posted last week. Two Food Network hosts, one delicious meal. And as with any roasted [insert vegetable here] recipe, it’s as simple [...]

I love pasta salad. It’s basically a hodge-podge of anything you have in your fridge or pantry.
