Look Out Everyone - Mr. White CAN Cook!!

Curried Peanut Soup with Banana Topping

This recipe was taken from Molly Katzen's cookbook, "The New Enchanted Broccoli Forest." 

Delicious soup - that yes, even my husband can make....warning lots of spices required that you may not have on hand (but I have them all if you need to borrow any).  This was a huge hit at the neighborhood soup night - according to some it was "the winner".   Use link below for pretty pictures and recipe.

Very yummy and very easy 3 ingredient appetizer....

Sesame Noodles

This is a favorite at Race Brook School....compliments of Mrs. Chase -

Sesame Noodle Recipe:

 ½ cup soy sauce

½ cup honey

1 tsp. ground ginger (I tend to use a bit less soy sauce & canola oil)

¼ cup chilled sesame oil

½ cup canola oil

1 lb linguine

1 red pepper

A few thinly sliced scallions

1 Tbsp. toasted sesame seeds

 
In a large bowl, with a whisk, blend the soy sauce, honey & ginger. Slowly add 
the chilled sesame oil and canola oil. 

Run the linguine (al dente) through cool water. Toss the linguine, pepper and 
scallions with the mixture in the bowl. Garnish with the toasted sesame seeds.

Just FYI -  you may want to double this one because it goes FAST!
