This salad is a party in the mouth. The Lemon Flaxseed dressing really brightens up all of the flavors of these Fall vegetables, turning it into a light dish. All of the salad ingredients were bought in the same trip to the Union Square Greenmarket.

Who says that Latin food can't be Local too? This past week we went upstate and got our hands on some dried black beans from Cayuga Pure Organics. Now with the addition of the abundant fresh herbs and juicy fruits, we can have local Latin flavors sourced locally.

Everyone loves the classic mojito cocktail, especially in the Summer. There is nothing quite as refreshing and delicious as the combination of sugar, rum, lime juice, and mint. Here we give you our classic mojito recipe, so that you can mix some up for your friends at your next fiesta. Try our basil- cucumber variation for a new twist on the older version.

We thought that it would be difficult to find Thai basil, so we used Sweet Basil in our Drunken Thai Noodle dish. We ended up having to rename them Not Really Thai Thai Noodles. However, we have found Thai basil at the New York City Greenmarkets, putting us to shame. This is our answer, Not Really Italian- Italian Pasta with Thai Basil!

This dish is our version of Drunken Thai Noodles, otherwise known as Pad Kee Mao. Drunken Noodles are usually made with holy basil, which has a much different taste than our basil. But since it is summertime, and basil is abundant, we use it anyway. They are also made with a much wider noodle than the rice sticks that are available in most supermarkets. We thought we would keep it easy for ourselves, and make the dish using what is local and available to us in the summer. It is an easy dish that can feed 4.
