Goat Cheese, Yumm!

I think that everyone should embrace the delicious versatility of goat cheese! I bought some the other day and have been putting it on virtually everything!

- warmed and spread on toast with strawberry jam
- in spinach salads with toasted nuts
- in pasta with a rosee sauce and pieces of chopped asparagus

- as a garnish in veggie soups

I even crumbled some in a bowl of warm chili to make it a little bit creamier!

Luckily for me , goat cheese is actually one of the healthier cheese options as well. An article from The Food Network explains that it contains potassium, vitamin A and is significantly lower in fat, cholesterol and calories than most other hard cheeses.

Give it a try!

Whole Wheat Pasta with Scallops and Green Peas

Okay here is the deal, my fridge is seriously stark. Last night in a desperate attempt to throw anything together I made a pasta dish that turned out surprisingly well (with lots of help from my roommate).

Basically we used whatever we could scrounge from the pantry and freezer. The result?

Whole Wheat Pasta with Scallops and Green Peas

Ingredients
- frozen green peas
- frozen scallops
- whole wheat spaghetti
- soy sauce
- lemon juice
- green onions

The whole meal took about ten minutes to make, we just fried the scallops in a bit of olive oil, cooked the noodles and defrosted the peas in the microwave. Then put the noodles and peas in the pan with some soy sauce and squeezed a little bit of fresh lemon juice.

The result was a light supper ready in no time flat !
