Mediterranean Platters make me happy

I can't do much in the kitchen with a sprained ankle (boo) but I managed to put this spread together with minimal effort, and it was extremely satisfying. Even the husband approved! Gobbling up the last bits of summer...

Beautiful Farm Fresh Eggs

Look at these pretty colors! Happy healthy chickens make happy healthy eggs. 

Ramen Vegetable Soup

Noodles are perhaps one of my very favorite things to eat. So in summer, I like to sauté up a bunch of fresh in season vegetables in some sesame oil and a little soy sauce, a pinch of chili pepper flakes...then just add pasta and I'm a happy girl! Tonights dinner was with a little Asian flair, so I added a couple of eggs to the broth for protein. This is a very flexible dish.

Summer lunch

In Eugene, Oregon there is no end to great organic produce from local farms. Here is one lovely example, from a great brewery.
