Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!! Mine was filled with lots and lots of cooking...and catching up on some tv. It was a mostly good weekend. Raul and I finally got to the farmers market and Trader Joes. I felt like I bought the store, but it was definitely worth it. I am so looking forward to making all kinds of delicious things this week. My friend who cooked with me agreed that fall is the best time of year. Not only for fashion but for the most amazing food. I actually didn't think I would be bringing you another pomegranate recipe so soon (even though I still have 3 huge fruits left), but I found this recipe last week and couldn't resist making it for my lunch for today. I actually made a similar combination of flavors the other day for something fun I have planned and I had a bunch of stuff left over. This a really fast recipe that can be used as an appetizer at a nice dinner or a quick lunch. I can't promise that you won't see pomegranates from me again this week, but I do promise that I have some other things and will hopefully bring you a fun week of food!
Did you watch Adele on SNL this weekend? Here she is performing at an NYC radio station. Simply amazing! The girl is only 20 years old!

I don't think I've ever seen prosciutto that looked so lean -- is that from Trader Joe's?
Hey Diana! I found the prosciutto in the deli section at a Ralphs in Loz Feliz. I don't remember the brand, but I liked that it was leaner looking than the other stuff that's out there.
Wow! I would never guess that was from Ralph's! I'll have to check it out! :)
Looks delicious! I can taste the prosciutto just looking at that picture! What Farmers' Market do you go to in Los Angeles?
hi! shoot me an email with your address sometime, i have a little thanks-for-participating gift from my blog event :)
This looks like something that should be served at a restaurant. What a wonderful combo! Love the farmers market :)
That looks real good!
Also, thank you so mch for the danish recipe. I made it this weekend, and it was fab!
Apples and Butter - I go to the Beverly Hills farmers market because I can walk there, but once in a while I will try the Hollywood market. They have a lot of the same vendors, but Hollywood is bigger.
Wow, that's a cool use of pomegranate!
Hooray, more pomegranites! I'm making a salad with some tonight too!
Yum Yum. Looks Delicious. I LOVE Prosciutto.
Blonde Duck, Prudy, and Brad - thank you!
