- Spinach Artichoke Dip: I used a wooden spoon in an active blender to mix the ingredients, the sharp blades destroyed the spoon and pieces broke off into the concoction, then I served this extra fiber dish at a holiday gathering
- Paella: Rice is rice, right? This recipe called for some specific type, but I decided to use the rice in the pantry. This 30 minute recipe cooked for 3 hours as I waited for the liquid to absorb, but it never did. Paella soup anyone?
- Eggplant Lasagna: My parents and sister were joining us for dinner. I wanted to try a low carb alternative to vegetarian lasagna that used eggplant to replace the noodles. Unfortunately, I sliced the eggplant too thick and did not cook it long enough. My poor family laughed as they ate raw eggplant.
Success of the Day: Not giving up at something that I am not good at
Pink Inspiration: I wore my favorite pink panties/ everyone needs a pair of underwear that makes them feel good about themself
Good luck, I hate to cook I think it's the timing of too many things on the stove at once. If u need any cookbook suggestions Erika has a whole cabinet full of cool ones. We like to pick a new recipe each week to try when we have time. Love the blog, keep up the good work, I think u will come to enjoy both cooking and writing before u know it.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck. I think this is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteLove it! You made me smile reading about the extra fiber in your spinach artichoke dip.
ReplyDeleteMy baking tip: Almost everything that goes into baking (unless otherwise stated in the recipe) should be at room temperature. This will get the texture of the baked good correct. It only took me 25 years of baking chocolate chocolate chip cookies that never were quite right to figure this out. Good luck with your kitchen escapades!
