Snap Pea and Radish Salad

This is from The Comfort Table by Katie Lee Joel.

3/4 pound sugar snap peas

1 bunch radishes, trimmed

2 Tbs fresh chives or 1 Tbs dried chives

Dressing:

3 Tbs olive oil

1 Tbs cider vinegar

1 tsp honey

1 tsp kosher salt

1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper

Trim the peas, if needed, and then blanch the peas in a pot of boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes. Drain and immediately put the peas in a bowl of ice water to stop them cooking.

Trim the radishes and slice thinly or cut into wedges or do some of each.

Mix up the vinaigrette in a small jar, shaking until well blended, then pour over the peas and radishes and serve.

Soft Chicken Tacos with the Works (Fine Cooking)
This is a great way to use up leftover chicken.

2 large ripe avocados, pitted
2 limes, 1 juiced and 1 cut into wedges
1-1/2 tsp. kosher salt; more as needed
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper; more as needed
2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
1 small yellow onion, finely diced
1 tsp. chili powder
Scant 1/8 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 14-1/2oz. can petite-diced tomatoes, drained
1 medium chipotle chile, finely diced, plus 1 to 2 Tbs. adobo sauce (from a can of chipotles en adobo)
2-1/2 to 3 cups leftover roast chicken, shredded or cut into thin strips
12 small flour tortillas, warmed
6 oz. queso fresco or feta, crumbled (1-1/3 cups)
3 cups thinly sliced red cabbage (about 6 oz.)
2/3 cup fresh cilantro leaves, washed and patted dry
Mash the avocados with the lime juice in a medium bowl. Season with about 1 tsp. of the salt and the pepper, or to taste.

Set a large, heavy-based skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and onion, sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 tsp. salt, and cook, stirring, until softened and translucent, about 6 minutes. Add the chili powder and cinnamon and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds.

Add the tomatoes, chipotle, and adobo sauce and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, mashing the tomatoes with a wooden spoon. Stir in the chicken, cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook until the chicken heats through, about 10 minutes. Taste, and season with salt and pepper if needed.

Let diners assemble their own tacos by spreading the warm tortillas with the avocado and then topping with the chicken, cheese, cabbage, cilantro, and a squeeze of juice from the lime wedges.

oh YUM, Luckygardner!! DH and I were reminiscing last nite about eating Johnny Cake as kids. He hated the way his mom made it, and I loved the way Nan made it. It's like a cornbread, and I remember eating it buttered. Some people put syrup on it. I found two recipes, one calls for an egg and the other doesn't. Does egg go in cornbread? Anyway, here's one. I want to try them both and see if they taste like by past. Johnny Cake (Wanderlust and Lipstick blog) 2 cups all purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt 3 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 cup cornmeal 1/4 cup sugar 3 teaspoons oil About 1 cup milk Whisk dry ingredients together, and then add oil and enough milk to make dough thick enough to knead (about 1 cup). Place in a greased 8 inch baking dish or an 8 inch greased cast iron pan. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and set aside for 30 minutes. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve in wedges or slices with butter or honey.

DATE NUT BARS 1/2 cup plus 1 1/2 tablespoons unbleached all purpose flour 1/2-teaspoon baking powder 1/4-teaspoon salt 2 large eggs at room temperature 1/2-cup sugar 1-tablespoon vanilla extract 2 cups diced dates (10 ounces) 1 cup toasted, chopped walnuts ConfectionerÃ¯Â¿Â½s sugar Preheat oven to 350F. Butter a 10-inch square pan and dust with flour or line the pan with aluminum foil and butter it. Set aside. Sift 1/2 cup of the flour with the baking powder and salt into a bowl. In another bowl beat the eggs until they are foamy. Gradually add the sugar and vanilla beating until well blended. Fold in the flour mixture. In a small bowl toss the dates and nuts with the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of the four. This method will prevent the dates and nuts from sinking to the bottom of the pan while baking. Fold the date mixture into the batter. Spread batter evenly in the pan. Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on top and firm to the touch. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Cut into squares and sprinkle the tops with confectionerÃ¯Â¿Â½s sugar. Makes 24.
