A new calendar year has arrived and thoughts of whether to set new goals always come with that. I'm not really a "new year's resolution" kind of person, but have been thinking about how my relationship with food has changed recently. I feel pretty blah about it. Which is weird for me. I am having a hard time putting even minimal effort into making delicious food for myself. I have been thinking about maybe even just once a week making something interesting that I might really, really enjoy eating.
This week it was just a simple salad (mixed greens, green pepper, tomatoes, store-bought greek dressing) but the serving size was what gave me joy -- eating an Arta-sized serving in the biggest bowl I could find. Add some pan-fried tofu and a sauce I've never tried before. Again, use some pretty dishes. And a glass of red wine doesn't hurt.
I love your face.
ReplyDeleteI don't like tofu so I think I might have been o.k. with the dog getting to it before me. Hope the salad was delicious.
ReplyDeleteSorry about your tofu. Well done dog! I have recently found Anna Jones' recipe books which are all vegetarian. I am a fan of not having to hunt for ingredients so these recipes are good with only the occasional, what is that?!? moment. Also, she is a British author so some adapting of names of ingredients and temperatures is required. Here is her website: http://annajones.co.uk/
ReplyDeleteI'll check her out for sure!
DeleteI'm gonna try these noodle recipes:

Oh yes! Chelsea's parents recently introduced me to famous BC series of books, like the famous Company's Coming recipe books in Alberta. They are called 'Whitewater Cooks' and I have the new, Together Again book. Delicious recipes so far and there is 27 ingredient salad I will try one day. One day. https://whitewatercooks.com/
ReplyDelete27 ingredient salad? Does it make a salad b big enough to feed 27 people? This may be a salad to make with family at the lake. Let me know how it turns out.
