Beeker's Words

I love food blogs. One of my favorites is TasteSpotting. People take pictures of their recipes and submit them to the site. It is often referred to as food porn.  I  go there for inspiration. This afternoon, I was looking for spaghetti recipes and I came across one for Spaghetti alla Carbonara. The photo above was from a food blog called Nook & Pantry.  Their recipe called for five ingredients. Those five ingredients did not include butter or cream.  I had spaghetti, Parmesan cheese, fresh ground pepper and eggs. I made a quick trip to the grocery store to grab bacon and puff pastry. The puff pastry was for the Nutella/Banana Pastry Purses that I also thought looked really good. That recipe came from a food blog called The Italian Dish. I give two thumbs up to both recipes. The pasta was amazing and the pastry was a perfect ending to the meal!
