i have a shocking confession for you, my dear internet readers. i hate broccoli. detest it, really. ok, maybe that’s not so shocking. but i love vegetables, and broccoli is one of only two vegetables i dislike.

fresh, local asparagus is finally back in the stores near my house, and i’m incredibly excited about it’s return. asparagus always means spring is officially here, and summer, my favorite season, is not too far around the corner. while perusing the internets for new asparagus recipes, thanks to a bunch of links from this post on cheap, healthy, good, and i stumbled across a recipe for lemon asparagus risotto. the description sounded amazing, and i had almost all of the ingredients on hand. what can i say? from there, the dish practically made itself!

you may recall from my last post that i caught an ugly cold. well, friends, the cold is long gone, but i did catch something else: a fever for making soup. and the only cure? lentil curry soup.

there are few things that i miss eating as a vegetarian, mostly because i don’t like the taste of meat. (mini emilie vegetarian history is here.) chicken noodle soup is one of the few foods i still crave. i’ve found some other delicious soups, like kitchari, black bean soup, lentil dal, and of course the tasty minestrone, but none of these has ever replaced the classic chicken noodle soup, especially when i am feeling under the weather. which is exactly how i felt this weekend.

when i think about stuffed shells, i think of a dish that is a bit complicated – similar to the many steps it takes to make lasagna - and thus relegated to special events. so when we had a special event to cook for this weekend (bringing food to our friends’ house to spend time with them and their new baby), this was the first dish i thought about making.
