Over the past year or so I've taken up a new hobby. I've discovered the art of cooking. Even in college Emily and I would have random cooking adventures, but since I've moved back in with the parents I've had lots of time to experiment in the kitchen and of course be inspired by the food network. God has truly given me a passion for cooking and it's a great way to share God's love with others as well. I remember back in 4th grade when I had to make the perfect cookies for 4-H. Needless to say, I really did not enjoy baking in the least bit. It's strange how one's likes and dislikes change over the years.
So I've decided to use this blog as a way of documenting my adventures cooking & baking. Being a forgetful person, this blog is mainly intended for my own memory sake. However, I always enjoy hearing what adventures ya'll are having as well.
What I've been working on lately/goal for this Spring:
1. Perfecting the French omelette--I've already made a traditional cheese omelette, and turkey bacon, tomato, and provolone omelette. I've discovered that adding a Tbsp of milk or cream to the eggs is important in the overall texture and structure of the eggs.
2. Knife skills- going to take a knife skills class in April. Who doesn't enjoy chopping, slicing, dicing, and julienning fruits and veggies?
3. Pesto- pesto is so very healthy and delish. Arugula, basil, pine nuts, walnuts, almonds, jalapenos, EVOO, cheese, mmmm.
4. Hummus- it's fun to make, and even more fun to jazz up with sweet bell peppers or spicy hot ones.
5. Red pepper flakes & ginger are my new favorite seasonings
6. Seviche- seafood, and all things fresh and wonderful
That's it for now..i'm sure there will be plenty to update soon :)
