Creative ideas, recipes, ways of living and bath and body products that are pure bliss
Yeah, I know, I have been MIA again, but I thought you might like to hop over to DIY Life and read my latest post about creating blends with essential oils just for valentine’s Day. There are recipes for scenting the room and for scenting body oil.
And check back every week, as I’ll be writing the column “The Scentual Life” every Tuesday. Enjoy!
I created this dish a while ago, but I made it again last night and realized that I had to post it here for you all to enjoy. It is a favorite in our house, even Owen loves it!
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 bulb fennel, thinly sliced
1 large zucchini, thinly sliced
1 red pepper, julienned
1 lb. crabmeat
fresh parsley
1 lb. penne (I use brown rice pasta)
1/3 c. lemon juice (maybe a little more?)
1/3 c. extra virgin olive oil (maybe a little more?)
1 tsp. Trader Joe’s 21 Seasoning Salute (or Mrs. Dash or any no-salt seasoning blend) or to taste
Saute first 4 ingredients in a deep skillet. Leave a good long time for this (maybe 1/2 hr?), as doing it slowly over low heat (med-low) until browned will slightly caramelize the veggies.
Meanwhile, cook pasta and prepare dressing.
When veggies are done, add crabmeat and parsley and heat through. Remove from heat and add dressing. Toss and serve.
Just wanted to throw this fun article your way. If you are a House fan like I am, you’ll enjoy reading the interview with Hugh Laurie, the infamous Dr. House himself — or at least the actor that plays him.
Interesting facts? His real-life dad is a doctor, he finds it difficult to “do” an American accent (he’s British) and he loves motorcycles, like his character.
What put me off? He doesn’t believe in Chinese medicine, herbs or alternative medicine. Bah-humbug!
