Seafood

This crunchy fish sandwich comes with its own slaw!

This delish pasta salad can even go to the beach with you because it has no mayo (mayo can spoil out in the sun if it’s not kept really cold all the time). It also makes a fun and easy cold supper on a warm summer evening.

Rachael says, "Shrimp and pasta seashells? This one is as cute as it is tasty and simple. Peas and bacon or pancetta have been a favorite of mine since I was little. Adding protein and pasta turns an old, favorite side dish into a main course."

Rachael says, "One sunny afternoon at the Central Park Zoo, I went head-to-head with a zoologist in a polar bear cook off. The bears loved my meal and I won the throw down! If the polar bears like it, I bet the kids will, too! I did modify it a bit. Their fish was whole – head and all. Otherwise, the ingredients are pretty much the same: watermelon, peppers, cereal and fish. Sounds weird, but it’s YUM-O!" This recipe is featured in the 40th Anniversary edition of Sesame Street’s C is for Cooking cookbook!

Rachael says, "Soba are buckwheat noodles used in Japanese cooking. Not every grocery store has them on the shelves, so I use whole wheat spaghetti for this easy Japanese inspired noodle-veggie-shrimp stir fry."

This menu is based on the back-in-the-day idea of a good, square meal: meat, vegetable and starch. The flavors have all gotten an update, though!
