Lemon-Kissed Wilted Spinach

Grilled Garlic-Marinated Skirt Steak with Lime
Arrachera con Ajo y Limon a la Parrilla
Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less, but requires additional unattended time.
Cheese-Filled Birds' Nests
Honey flavors both the syrup and the filling in these delicate pastries. In the Middle East they are usually stuffed with nuts or cheese. Mozzarella is included in this version, which may seem unusual in a sweet filling, but it prevents the ricotta from becoming runny. The pine nuts are like little eggs resting in their nests.
Chilled Cucumber Soup
Straight from Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. This is one of mom's specialties for a summer lunch or dinner.
By Judy Goldwasser and Amy Goldwasser
Lemon Fettuccine with Asparagus and Salmon Caviar
The pasta and sauce cook simultaneously (so two cooks can divide and conquer), for a total of about ten minutes, start to finish. Serve with your best bottle of bubbly.
