I should begin by saying that this column is about to be truly amplified with the addition of Front Porch Catering and BW Pastries sharing recipes with Pretty Smart Girl. I am so proud to say that I am friends with the lovelies behind these delicious companies and soon enough, you will know them, too! For now, this column is my mild attempt to bring you a weekly recipe (hopefully) on Monday. So for now, you can read about my randomly thrown together, mostly home-made meals, usually inspired by what vegetables need to be cooked within the week. And, hopefully, I'll remember to grab my camera on the way to the table!

Directions:
Ingredients: (My ingredients are always approximations and I rarely follow a recipe's exact description. Cooking is about creativity, don't be afraid to explore.)
3 Portobello Mushroom Caps (large, and chopped into 1 inch cubes)1 Pint "Baby Bella" Portobello Mushrooms3 C Orzo Pasta1/2 C Olive oil (We were given Basil infused Olive Oil for Christmas, so I used that and it was delicious.)3 Cloves Garlic (minced or food processed)
1/2 C Sun-dried Tomatoes (chopped into small pieces)3 Vine Ripened Tomatoes4 (or more) Tbsp Dried Basil (or use 2 C fresh if its in season)
Butter
Sea Salt
1/2 Parmesan Cheese (Shredded)
Directions: Mix olive oil, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, Parmesan cheese and a pinch of sea salt in a bowl and set aside.* Boil pasta until tender. Saute smaller mushrooms in butter on medium. Add larger mushrooms and allow to cook until they have darkened and the aroma is fragrant. Mix everything into a large bowl and serve. I love the versatility of this meal because I can eat it warm as soon as its done and then serve it over a bed of spinach for lunch the following week. Delicious and healthy!
