Tortellini with Edamame and Smoked Sausage from Disney Family
This recipe has only 5 ingredients and I ended up going to 3 different grocery stores to get everything…what? First of all, is there such a thing as “frozen tortellini”? Not where I live apparently – I finally just got the refrigerated kind – it worked perfectly. Then, shelled edamame – it does exist. But you won’t find it at Super Target (lesson learned).
All in all – fun recipe. I’m not sure Italian dressing is the right complement to this dish (Ayla wasn’t a fan) but it was tasty enough. For about 15 bucks we had enough to feed all three of us for two meals and it filled us up – I’ll take it!

My super-awesome friend CJ tells me: I got you something, it’s totally not a big deal, but I saw this and I thought of you and I had to get it.
I drink iced coffee almost every day (I know! she says) …she was right – this is totally the perfect gift. I love it!

Still Alice by Lisa Genova
Haunting and beautiful and terrifying and sweet. I didn’t want to read more, but I couldn’t put it down. Touched by Alzheimer’s, like most, but I had no concept of the early-onset version. From the book summary:
Losing her yesterdays, her short-term memory hanging on by a couple of frayed threads, she is living in the moment, living for each day. But she is still Alice.

Lemon Poppy Seed Loaf from Family Feed Bag
BATTER
1/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated white sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
1/2 cup plain Greek style yogurt
1 tbsp lemon zest (takes about two lemons)
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3 tbsp poppy seeds
GLAZE
1/4 cup lemon juice (takes about 1 lemon)
1/4 cup icing sugar
Preheat oven to 350, and then cream butter and sugar. Add the oil, eggs, yogurt, and lemon zest and beat well until smooth. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and poppy seeds. Add the dry mixture gradually to the wet mixture and beat well until smooth. Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and bake about an hour until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
To make the glaze, whisk the lemon juice and icing sugar until there are no lumps. With the loaf still hot in the pan, pour the glaze evenly over the top, letting it seep into and around the loaf. Let the loaf cool for 15 more minutes in the pan, then remove it from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
