Over Memorial Day Weekend, Cate and I ventured out to the great Pacific Northwest to spend some time in Seattle. It was our first time in this area of the country and we really enjoyed our time in this beautiful city on the water. To mix things up, instead of writing a full narrative I’m just going to list 20 impressions about Seattle (feel free to let me know what I got wrong in the comments). We’ll do the first 10 today, and another 10 later this week. Here goes.

Tortellini Greek Pasta Salad

June 20, 2014 by Cate 25 Comments

All the flavors of a Greek salad are mixed with tortellini to make this Greek Pasta Salad – the perfect light summer dinner or side dish!

What kinds of food do you think of when you think about summer? I immediately think of ice cream, anything with berries or peaches, grilled everything, and pasta salad! Pasta salad is just such a perfect summery food. It is great for picnics or a light dinner. My absolute favorite kind of regular salad is a Greek salad, so I turned it into a pasta salad – Tortellini Greek Pasta Salad.

Honey Oatmeal Bread

June 16, 2014 by Cate 25 Comments

This Honey Oatmeal Bread is the perfect loaf for sandwiches – oatmeal makes it hearty and gives it a great texture and honey adds a touch of sweetness.

It has been quite some time since I baked bread! Once the temperatures start heating up, I usually spend less time baking and more time outside. I love baking bread, but it is definitely labor intensive. However the other weekend I was craving some fresh baked bread. So I decided to try my hand at creating my own recipe – honey oatmeal bread, using quick oats. The bread turned out beautifully! It has a delicious flavor and is absolutely perfect for sandwiches. I loved it so much that I have another batch of dough rising right now!

This Grapefruit Tequila Cocktail with Chocolate Bitters, modeled after a drink at the popular Seattle bar Sun Liquor, is the perfect combo of sweet and tart.

It is an absolutely gorgeous day here in NYC! Sunny, 75, just a few puffy white clouds in the blue sky – perfect! It rained about every day this week, including an absolute monsoon last night, so we are ready for some sunshine. And chez CateyLou, beautiful weekend days mean rooftop cocktails! One of the perks of NYC living:) So today I have a Grapefruit Tequila Cocktail with Chocolate Bitters for you.

Yes, chocolate bitters!! Perhaps my new favorite cocktail ingredient.
