With Age Comes Cooking

Not sure if any of this rings true for you, but is surely has for me. The older I get, the more I love to dive into a great recipe. Preparing a delicious meal. The thing about me, is I LOVE serving my family.  Even if it's just for my dude. And me. LOL.  The good thing about preparing big meals on the weekend is enjoying it for a few more lunches, or dinners.  

I'm sharing my most favorite foodie right now.  Jessica Seinfeld. Jessica Seinfeld She's witty, she's funny, and to me she's got a great taste for food.  Some days we want broccoli, and some days we NEED a donut.  I've always believed in eating whatever your heart desires. Moderation is key.  Also, keepin' a move helps that donut keep a move out. lol.
Kali bought me her new cookbook for Mother's Day.

I laughed out loud in her introduction how she doesn't like capers.  I LOVE capers.  But I CANNOT stand PEAS. Ew. Like, get them OFF my plate.  Fast. 

I'm sharing two amazing recipes today.  Both of which are amazing.  Of course tweak it any way you need to.  For instance, the desire of keeping gluten free flour in my home, isn't a priority. For some however, I get it. To each their own, right?



Also, my other favorite....




One of my favorite things to do is fancy up my french bread, and I always get fancier with my rice.  Adding tid bits of whatever to up the flavor. My mom taught me to balance every meal you cook.   There will always be a veggie, and there most always is a starch.  Old school here kids, old school. 


This weekend however I will make platters of Eggplant Parmesan.  They become better the day after.  Especially if served with pasta. 


I hope you all had a good week.  Mine was full of work, nurturing, loving, and laughing when I can. 


I'll send you off with this beauty......

And one more for the road...

May love, light and good people cross your path....

Kris and Kali, I love you.  

Bill, keep hanging in there....I'm still searching for that hoist to drop you in the boat.   I'm close.  LOL
