Two yummy new dishes

Two new dishes this week and both were excellent.  The Conchiglie with Green and Black-Eyed Peas, Pearl Onions, and Basil adapted from Mediterranean Vegan Kitchen by Donna Klein was very satisifying- I hadn't had pasta without peanut sauce or marinara in a while so this was a delicious change.  The whole wheat pasta was perfect, I couldn't really tell the difference between my version with the whole wheat and DH's with regular pasta- maybe I prefered the ww a bit more!  And I would agree that this is a kid friendly dish- I loved noticing the peas in the shell pasta :)


Creamy Avocado and White Bean Wrap by Eating Well came together very quickly and was very easy to adapt for DH and I.  I split the beans in half and put each half in a shallow rimmed soup bowl- mashed his with the cheese and mine with the avocado.  We assembled the wraps at the table.  The chipotle cole slaw makes this dish- just the right amount of spicy spicy and flavor.  I did add some hot sauce ;)
