Today I want to share with you a pasta dish that is popular in Colombia. It is very simple and quick to make and it is delicious. No, it is not an authentic Italian dish, but a Colombian version called Spaghetti con Pollo y Salsa Criolla.

There are a lot of Colombian pasta dishes that we make with our own touch and ingredients and this dish is one of them. I hope you all enjoy it!

Today’s recipe is a good summer salad: Tuna, orzo, chick peas, tomatoes, cucumber and fresh herbs with a lemon dressing. This refreshing salad just might become a summer staple at your table. It is wonderfully filling, improves as it sits, and can be easily transported for lunch at the office.

The tuna makes this a meal-in-a-bowl type of salad, and if you want a vegetarian option, just omit the tuna.

My lunches have changed since moving to the US, obviously, as I live a different life, in a different country.

Growing up my mom always made a good lunch. Everytime we came home from school, lunch was waiting for us at the table. She usually made soup, salad, fresh fruit juice and a main dish. I have to confess that I used to be a picky eater, so I was not a huge food fan, but I miss those delicious lunches that my mom used to make.

I hope you enjoy this Pasta and Chickpea Salad that I made for my lunch this week. It was easy, simple, healthy and really good. Read more…

If you are a regular reader, you know that my American husband is a vegetarian* and I am a Colombian girl who loves all kinds of meats So, every day I have to think about a dish that we all can eat and be a happy family. That is how this Pasta with Mushrooms and Gorgonzola Cheese was born. Simple and delicious dish!

Perfect for a weeknight dinner with bread and a salad on the side.

* Actually, I learned that Gorgonzola is not a vegetarian cheese.  See comments below on May 24th. Sorry for my ignorance and I meant no offense.
