Sorry...

I know, I know- I have been really bad lately about updating. And to make it worse, I haven't even cooked that much in the past week and a half to update about! But I promise, I have a really good reason- two, actually...

I got kittens! Gus (left) and Sebastian (right). Needless to say, between adjusting to the two of them and my usual school/work loads, things have been pretty chaotic around the apartment and haven't left much time for cooking. I made a delicious pasta primavera with roasted vegetables from the original "Everyday Italian" cookbook for some friends the night before we ran the Cherry Blossom 10-Miler this Sunday, but didn't even have time or energy to take pictures! Such a bad blogger, I know... but how could you resist this?

Unfortunately, this week doesn't look to be much better in terms of chaos, but I'll try to make it work! First up is Passover on Wednesday- I'm bringing two side dishes to my friend Jill's sedar. So far, I'm thinking Ina's sauteed grape tomatoes with herbs and this recipe for braised spinach with shallots and pine nuts. Any other good suggestions for tasty and Passover-friendly vegetable sides?
