A few days ago, Laura came over to have a spontaneous dinner with Steve and I. She brought her homemade whoopie pies and Steve made a sausage pasta ragu. I made a beet & broccoli dish with chive aioli and a Waldorf Salad topped with a cheesy lattice. I left work a few minutes early so I would have time to pick up the ingredients and start prepping before Laura arrived and Steve got home. Those few minutes alone in the kitchen were just what I needed. I find that prepping food and cooking up something new is one of the best ways to decompress after a long day. It's especially nice to be able to share the fruits of your labor with friends. Dinner was tasty and Laura's whoopie pies were a divine dessert treat!
