Watercress Pesto
Watercress Pesto. I had seen a recipe in a cooking magazine where they sprinkled watercress leaves over the top of the dish. It made such a pretty presentation that I was certain I too would do this. I bought a bag of watercress with good intention. Forgot all about it until my weekly Saturday morning fridge cleanout.

Baked Cod with Montpellier Butter
Cod is a wonderfully mild white flaky fish. It’s happy seasoned with anything from fresh herbs to punchy marinades. It’s beautiful baked or grilled and when leftover it begs to be the star in a batch of fish chowder. After recently learning about freezing fresh herbs in butter or olive oil, I began to do a little compound butter research and decided Montpellier Butter would be the perfect pairing with our baked cod.

Miso Soup with Poached Egg {Share the Love}
What started one day as a “What’s for Dinner?” conversation at the office turned into a mission to make homemade Miso Soup and ultimately an ingredient split. And so that evening I did my usual research: scan the Internet for the most striking Miso Soup images first, read multiple recipes second.

Orzo Salad with Peppercorn & Balsamic Poached Pears {Share the Love}
I am loving my new star ingredients from Oli+Ve, Blackberry Ginger Balsamic Vinegar. In fact I’ll be back for refills this weekend. Whenever I have the opportunity to cook for a group, small or large, I love to try something new. It’s risky (if it flops) but measuring the mmmm mmm good tells you best whether it’s a keeper or history.
