Roasted Garlic and Sage Butter
I survived!

It was a really close call. Lifeguards were summand, lifesavers were utilized, the event was delayed, but I did not drown.

Just kidding. I made it through my alumni swim meet with out major injury or incident.

Shockingly, it was actually really nice getting back in the water. I may even do it again soon.

The alumni team didn’t win, but we were very close. If our coach hadn’t disqualified us on a technicality from the backstroke event, we would have had it in the bag.

Now that I’ve exerted all that energy, I am rewarding myself with something decadent.

You will need…

1 cup butter


2 heads of roasted garlic


2 tablespoons finely chopped sage


1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper

Start by combining all of the ingredients in a food processor.


Blend the butter until everything is completely combined.


Spread the butter onto some plastic wrap.


Wrap up the butter into your shape of choice and pop it in the fridge.


Let the butter harden and then use.


This butter is great on bread, slathered all over some chicken that is then roasted or on top of a steak fresh off the grill.

Cheesy Orzo Pasta
If you know anything about me, you know that swimming was a very major part of my life for seventeen years. Even after I graduated college, Lish and I would go swim at least once a week with our college coach Bonnie.

Tomorrow is our fifth alumni meet and I am terrified. Not because I’m getting old, but because I haven’t swam since the last alumni meet.

I’m not even sure I’ll be able to make it two laps of the pool. Chances aren’t great.

Since it is too late for me to get any training in, I’m just going to carbo load for the event with this delicious pasta side dish.

You will need…

4 cups orzo pasta


½ cup white cheddar cheese, grated


½ cup gruyere cheese, grated


1 tablespoon garlic powder


Salt and pepper to taste

Start by boiling large pot of water.

When the water has boiled, add in the pasta and cook it per the box instructions.

When the pasta is al dente, strain the water reserving ¼ of a cup.

Add the pasta to a medium bowl and toss it with the cheese.


Slowly add in the garlic powder while stirring.

Add in the reserved pasta water, stir well and serve hot.
