I went out to shake my kitchen rug and found a box containing these on my front porch this morning!
Happy Tuesday! Well, new year...new quest for better health... here is my shot for Day 6 of Project 365. I can't believe it's been six days and I'm still doing it! Me and my little attention span. What was I writing about anyway? Oh yeah...
Today I steamed some cauliflower and put it with brown rice and lentils with a bit of leftover spaghetti sauce from last night. It was so good!
I feel really inspired by my lastest guilty pleasure... food blogs! Oh my! Lisa Cohen has gotten me hooked on surfing these and the food, inspiration and esp. the photography is amazing. It's like looking at Food Porn! LOL! So far, my two new favorites are:
101 Cookbooks
Smitten Kitchen
But my all time favorite food inspiration has to be Ina Garten, the Barefoot Contessa. I have all her cookbooks (except the French one) and have never been disappointed in a single recipe. I got her new one today, Back to Basics, and can't wait to try a few of the recipes. Her food is so delicious and amazingly simple—each recipe seems to have no more than a handful of ingredients, yet it is always so yummy.
Last month when Ellie was so sick I wanted to make her some chicken soup but couldn't find a recipe in any of my books or online. Then I remembered that Ina had one in one of her books. I made it and it was perfection! It just goes to show you that sometimes simple is the best.
