Asparagus Farro Feta Salad

Summer in the midwest is unpredictable at best.This summer has been pretty decent so far…….and then….holy crap its hot!!!!!!! When it’s hot, the last thing I want is to heat up the kitchen, or eat anything hot….ugh! Asparagus Farro Feta Salad is a cool delicious salad…. when its too hot to cook.

Tim and I had to give up our beloved asparagus patch when we moved, but we still enjoy asparagus as much as ever. With summer heat ramping up I really don’t feel like cooking….I barely feel like eating, although I do manage…LOL

Asparagus Farro Feta Salad is cool but satisfying. Tender crisp asparagus with chickpeas, farro, and feta….covered in a light dill and red onion dressing. Continue reading “Asparagus Farro Feta Salad”

Spicy Sweet Corn Chowder

Quick, easy, and with a smoky, sweet flavor……if this sounds good to you Spicy Sweet Corn Chowder is for you!

Sometimes the best laid plans don’t come to be. My nephew and his girlfriend were going to come for dinner Friday night. Steaks, potatoes, and sweet corn. Well it didn’t work out as we planned 🙁

Tim and I still had the steaks, but we added a salad and called it dinner. I had sweet corn and no plans for it……or did I????

Using up sweet corn for four, Tim and I would be eating sweet corn all next week. Last year I made a Corn Chowder and posted it here at What the Forks for Dinner? Spicy Sweet Corn Chowder is a ramped up version of my original recipe.

Tim likes things spicy. Whenever I make anything he asks if I added spice??? So…..I added spice to this recipe. Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce were perfect to spice things up. Continue reading “Spicy Sweet Corn Chowder”
