Food Love
life has been really stressful lately, and i think its only going to continue in the next few months as the move to DC comes closer. thus, when i found time to finally cook dinner last night it was such a relief. i love food and i love to cook. i love being creative with flavors and textures and colors and nutrition, and it is so comforting to have homemade leftovers in the fridge for lunch or a quick snack.
last night i wanted to mix comfort food with some healthy dark greens, as i have been missing my veggies this week b/c i've been out of the house a lot in the evenings. i made mashed potatoes with swiss chard (boiled the chopped chard in the same pot with the potatoes for the last few minutes of cooking which turned everything a gorgeous rose color) and added vegan margarine, olive oil, lots of pecorino cheese, salt and pepper. simply, creamy, yummy. served with salmon i seared up on the stove top.
here are two food blogs that i stumbled on recently for some inspiration - 101 Cookbooks (gorgeous photos) and Kok Blog (with cutie illustrations).
