Actually USE my cookbooks!

I picked this because I own a number of cookbooks and most of them are unused. I keep making the same old things again and again. The only books I use are the 2 Indian cookbooks. Duhh! So today I made the Energy salsa from Leslie Kenton’s Cook Energy. It’s nice and I will take it to lunch tomorrow at work. [but without the chillies]. I feel good about that! I will pick recipes in the other books, although it may be hard to find something that suits my detox plan :-)

Now that the kitchen is back I’ve had a chance to put this into action. Since my shift has been moved to 2PM to 10PM I haven’t had too many chances to make dinner for both of us but when I do my two new favorite books are Cheap, Fast and Fabulous and Desperation Dinners. Fast and yummy stuff!

that I can’t WAIT until my kitchen is finished?

Not that not having a functioning kitchen for several months has stopped me from reading and buying cooking mags and books…
