Matt found the idea for this meal on Serious Eats who adapted it from Gourmet. I find it interesting that Gourmet thinks one pound of pasta serves 6 people while Serious Eats thinks it serves 2. For a main dish I think Gourmet is a little on the small side & Serious Eats is way too much. With all the vegetables in this recipe we would have been struggling to eat half a pound of pasta each, not even taking into account what a healthy serving size of pasta is.

We love pork, everything from Grilled Asian Tenderloin to Homemade Italian Sausage to Apricot Stuffed Loin and even Dark Chocolate and Bacon Cupcakes. But I have a confession to make, we can’t cook a decent pork chop to save our lives. No matter how we try to prepare them they end up dry. We try cooking them in sauces, grilling them, baking them but still the same unappetizing dryness. I try to tell myself its not us, its today’s leaner pork but still its hard not to start to question your cooking skills.

Well, that all ended with last night’s pork chops from <a href=”http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0811849643?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=agooapp-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0811849643″…

Ohio-grown sweet corn was at the Coit Road Farmers Market this week, and you know I had to grab up some. In fact, just like with all the locally grown summer vegetables, this is one that I put up in the freezer for winter. I usually buy 12 ears at a time and put up 6, so by the time Fall comes around I am able to cook slow food holiday dinners for my family, as well as having some for soups and stews. Also picked up some Ohio-grown cilantro at my local family-owned grocer, Zagara’s Marketplace, they are great about carrying local produce. I wanted to make a healthy salad. Salads are the perfect summer meal for me, because they mean little or no cooking. The following recipe was adapted from a magazine article I clipped, I put my own twist to it.
