Recipe: Pineapple Teriyaki Salmon and Roasted Pepper and Goat Cheese Pasta
MenusHello Everyone!
It has been a beautiful week down here in sunny, breezy, Central Florida! I just finished mowing, edging and blowing my yard! I love it when it rains, as it did last week, making everything just burst out singing! The grass is soooo green and all the red geraniums are blooming...all the African Iris's are full of their sweet white flowers. It's just an invitation to go sit back there and take a lemonade or iced tea with a good book or a few fun magazines!
Well, the countdown begins, only 4 more days before we leave for Georgia to spend a week up there after the closing on the house. We have two wonderful graduation parties to attend first. One is on Friday and the other is on Saturday. The Saturday one is Hawaiian themed and a real fun one...
Right after I post I will go and start dinner preparations. Tonight's dinner choices are from the May 2006 issue of Cooking Light. They look wonderful!
By the way, I must share with you my thoughts and comments on the quiche (Quiche Lavita) I served for Mother's Day. It was exquisite, a real keeper. This quiche was full of flavor and very pretty to look at. I used 8 pieces of bacon, I also sauteed 1/2 an onion and used about 1 cup of grated Swiss cheese. I will definitely be making this more often.
Here's to a beautiful Wednesday for all of you!

ROASTED RED PEPPER AND GOAT CHEESE PASTA
Source: Cooking Light May 2006
Servings: 4
3 large red bell peppers
5 tsp. olive oil, divided use
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup fat-free, low sodium chicken broth
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
2 tsp. sugar
3/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. fresh ground black pepper
1/8 tsp. crushed red pepper
1/4 cup fresh chopped basil
4 cups hot cooked bow tie pasta (8 oz. uncooked)
1/2 cup (2 oz.) crumbled goat cheese
Preheat broiler
Cut bell peppers in half lengthwise, discard seeds and membranes. Place pepper halves, skin side up, on a foil-lined baking sheet, flatten with hand. Broil 8 minutes or until blackened. Place peppers in a zip-lock bag; seal. Let stand 20 minutes then peel. Place the peppers in a blender.
Heat 2 tsp. oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, saute 1 minute. Remove from heat, let stand 5 minutes.
Add garlic mixture, remaining 1 Tbsp. oil, broth and next 5 ingredients to the peppers in the blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. Combine pepper mixture and basil with pasta. Sprinkle with cheese
Serve with a fresh white Pinot Grigio wine...it's light citrus/almond/hay notes are great with goat cheese!
Fresh fruits like strawberries, bananas, raspberries, kiwi and honeydew can be cut up and tossed with 2 Tbsp. orange juice. Dust with powdered sugar just before serving in a cup.
