Hi friends! As previously mentioned, this year I'd like to spend more time in the kitchen cooking. It's kind of a two-birds-one-stone deal.. not only does cooking for yourself save you money, it can also help ensure that you are eating healthy meals! Plus, I enjoy cooking, so it's a good way to unwind, particularly when life outside the kitchen gets stressful.
In an effort to get the new year started off right, I spent a lot of time in the kitchen last weekend! Since I am pretty busy at work during the first few months of the year, I don't normally have tons of time to do anything elaborate during the week (if I manage to get groceries, I am happy), so I was happy to have a couple of days to relax and spend time by the stove. Here is what I made!
Herby Barley Salad with Butter-Basted Mushrooms - anyone who has been to my apartment knows that I have a special love for grains. Barley is no exception, and of course, mushrooms are absolutely my jam. This simple salad was super delicious and came together in no time, so I will definitely be making it again!
Marcella Hazan's Rice and Smothered Cabbage Soup - this simple and delicious soup was the perfect thing to eat on a dreary Sunday afternoon. The smothered cabbage takes a while to make, but it's totally worth it.
I also made a Kale Caesar salad with a Greek yogurt based dressing that I saw on Instagram. The recipe was a bit heavy on the garlic, but otherwise super yummy and easy.
Do you guys care about what I eat?
