Soba noodles are mixed with fresh vegetables and tossed in a sweet and spicy Asian almond butter sauce. So easy to prepare and so full of flavor!

Good morning! Did you have a nice weekend? I was in town for the first time in 4 weekends, and it was so nice to just relax with TheBetterHalf. And cook – I made 6 recipes for the blog! Including this soba noodle salad!

Today I have two ways to make your Monday better…a quick, easy and delicious dinner idea, and a GIVEAWAY!

These Soba Noodles with Spicy Almond Butter Sauce are so simple to prepare and sweet/spicy/savory Asian inspired sauce tastes incredible. The recipe comes from an amazing cookbook, Almonds: Recipes, History, Culture, and you can win a copy! In fact I have three copies to give away today.

Carrot Cake Cookies

These carrot cake cookies have all of the warm and delicious flavors of carrot cake baked into a soft and chewy cookie!

Happy Friday everybody! Is anything better than Friday? I really don’t think so! Sure you still have to wake up and go to work or school – but the promise of the weekend is ahead. It is such a great feeling! And what better way to celebrate Friday than with cookies – carrot cake cookies to be exact. How’s that for some alliteration?!

These aren’t just any carrot cake cookies – these are for the Mystery Dish challenge! That’s right, it is already time for another Mystery Dish challenge. In case you missed some of my other posts, Mystery Dish is a fun group that I’m part of with some of my blogging friends. Every month, the host sends out a list of ingredients, and we have to come up with something using the “mystery” ingredients. It is kind of like the show Chopped, with a lot less pressure!

Carrot Bread

April 10, 2013 by Cate 12 Comments

Today I have another no-knead recipe for you. No-knead has really become my favorite way to make bread. It is just so easy, and more importantly, it consistently turns out great.

The one tricky part about making no-knead bread is the timing. Once the dough is made, you have to bake the bread 12-18 hours later – even if life gets in the way. In fact the other day I said no to plans after work because I had to go home and bake this bread! It is slightly pathetic to let my baking interfere with my social life, but what can I say, I’m committed to making great recipes for this blog! And I really wanted to eat this bread all weekend 🙂 Plus look at that gorgeous orange dough – I couldn’t let it go to waste!
