Thursday Thirteen Favorite Recipes (#8)

Posted in Geekery, Blogging & Other Blogs, Thursday Thirteen, Memes by n. mallory

O.K. This is both a cheat and a shameless plug for The Weekend Chef. I am neither ashamed nor apologetic. I love cooking and I love sharing my recipes. So, this week this is what you get. ;)

Thirteen Things about N. Mallory
  1. Aunt J’s Easy Crispy Sweet Pecan Granola — I recently visited my aunt and she made this fantabulous granola for breakfast. It was so fantabulous in fact that I just couldn’t wait to try it out for myself and was completely surprised at how simple and easy it is to make. Now I have homemade granola to mix in with my homemade yogurt every morning. :)
  2. Baked Ziti Casserole — I picked up this one from a Weight Watchers cookbook. It’s low-fat but full of wonderful flavor and texture. Plus, it’s simple and easy to make.
  3. Puttanesca Sauce — I first had puttanesca sauce in a restaurant in New Orleans and couldn’t resist hunting down a recipe so I could have it whenever I wanted it at home.

    The name originated in Naples after the local women of easy virtue. Pasta Puttanesca means “The way a whore would make it”, but the reason why the dish gained such a name is debated. One possibility is that the name is a reference to the sauce’s hot, spicy flavour and smell. Another is that the dish was offered to prospective customers at a low price to entice them into a house of ill repute. According to chef Jeff Smith of the Frugal Gourmet, its name came from the fact that it was a quick cheap meal that prostitutes could prepare between customers. [Wikipedia]
