Tortilla Espanola is one of my favorite simple meals. It’s like a crustless quiche of eggs and potatoes, all made in one pan. I like to add greens, like this rainbow chard I got at the farmers market. Click on over to my guest post on The Kitchn for the full recipe and more photos. Enjoy!

Carrot Ribbon Fettuccine
For the month of May, I am so excited to be doing a series of guest posts for a website I love, The Kitchn (the food companion site to Apartment Therapy). Each recipe will be inspired by something at the farmers market near where I live. This week’s recipe is Carrot Ribbon Fettuccine, where long strips of carrot made with a peeler are mixed with pasta- so healthy and delish! More photos and the recipe are over at The Kitchn.

Orange Centerpiece Idea
Here’s a fun little entertaining/decorating idea. At a recent party, I topped off some oranges and used them as little vases by simply sticking the stems into the fruit. Set on coasters they made cute, quirky centerpieces! I shaved a bit off the bottom as well so they would sit flat. Carnations do especially well in these, as they can last a day or 2 without being in water. Happy hosting!
Sparkling Lemonade Mint Julep
In honor of the Kentucky Derby tomorrow, I thought I’d share my simple twist on the traditional Mint Julep.
Just mix equal parts lemonade (for a bit of sweetness) and seltzer, plus a shot of bourbon, over ice. Garnish with a lemon slice and a sprig of mint!
For a strawberry version, try last year’s recipe. Enjoy! and may the best horse win…
