Late night quick dinner!!


So I left work a bit early tonight. Around 10 p.m. and then went and had a martini with my friend Justin Law at a new place called Bar Tini. It is where the old 10th Ave Lounge used to be. They did a really cute job remodeling it and I wish then luck!
But I got home and I was starving!
The fridge was sparse so I did a quick inventory and assessed the situation. Seemed like I would be able to do something yummy after all!
I have baby portobello mushrooms left over, parsley, garlic, olive oil, thyme and egg noodles.
Sounds like dinner!!!!!!
So I put a pot of hot water on!
Then I thick cut about 7 of the baby bellos, one clove of garlic, and threw them in a heated saute pan with a few pinches of salt and a few turns of olive oil around the pan.
Next the water was boiling so I added about a cup of the egg noodles and lots of salt.
So my noodles were boiling and the mushrooms were sauteing, I added a teaspoon of thyme and a huge pinch of parsley to the mushroom pan, and turned it off. By this point the mushrooms are done and can hang out for a bit. The pasta has about 3 mins. left so atI pulled out my plate and turn my mac book on!

Noodles are done, so I turn the shrooms back on low, and drain the noodles almost completely. About 98%. I wanted some starch left in the pot. I poured the noodles directly into the mushrooms and mixed it all up. Once it was mixed, I hit it with a bit more parsley, a bit more salt. A lot of parm, and a few more drops of olive oil!
Damn!
Damn!
Damn!
This is SO easy I could do it late night after a martini!!! BUT so good your friends would love it anytime!!
Whooopps... I just realized I forgot to add some red pepper!!!
Oh well, next time!!!
XOXO

I'm on a little diet right now (cause I need to drop a couple of lbs for a video shoot) so I couldn't join our Sexy Chef in enjoying this late night meal but a frickin' tsunami couldn't keep me from having a taste! The whole apartment smelled *amazing* and this dish took him 10 mins tops! It was out of this world!!! ....Diets suck!

Joanne's Puttanesa Sauce

I have had a lot of good food in my life. In fact I have had a lot of great food in my life. Sometimes I have even had amazing food. Very rarely do you have the chance to take a bite of something and have it change your life! OK, that might be a bit much, but this sure did change my day and put a big smile on me and my sister - in -laws faces. Seems that my mom-in-law, the accomplished Chef and Poet, Joanne , thought she was just whipping something up for her and my father-in-law's dinner last night, but she happened to make the most perfect Puttanesca ever! Before I give you the scoop on how to make this sauce, I thought it would be nice to tell you it's history. Apparently it was made popular in a sexy Italian novel written in 1961. Loosely translated into English Puttanesca means "whore style". You Minx Joanne!! :) Without further Adieu... Joanne's Puttanesco Sauce! Here's what you'll need; 1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1/4 TSP of red peppe

The All Powerful Sauerkraut!

So It seems that I am the last person on the planet to know about the AMAZING health benefits of Sauerkraut.  To be 100% honest our dog got really sick this week and we were researching how to help him out without having to spend a fortune at the vet's office. We kept reading that the dogs health and overall well being started off with how his gut was, and what was going on in his digestive track. JUST LIKE PEOPLE. And the way to make sure that your gut is healthy is probiotics! One of the easiest, and least expensive ways to get billions of these things in you a day is with eating fermented foods like Sauerkraut.  Here is a link to a REALY interesting article  I found about the science of probiotics, mental health, gut health, becoming healthier.  In a much shorter intro to the benefits of Kraut, here is the gist of it from another article I read pertaining to people as well as animals: History of Sauerkraut Although many people think of sauerkraut a
