I really need to get back to cooking fr srs
I realized that I really need to squeeze out some time during my busy days to cook for real. I was at my "Healthy Lifestyle and Weight Management" class last night and one of our assignments was to build a healthy meal or snack around a couple items given to us (like "Bagel and cream cheese").
So I came up with some pretty good things to do with my items (for the "bagel," I decided to use half the bagel and cream cheese, toast it crisply, spread on the cream cheese, top with sprouts and sundried tomato, add a glass of juice). Another classmate, Michael, came up with loads of good ideas as well. So a third classmate suggested that "Chef Michael and Chef Crystal" come up with some good recipes to bring in. I was flattered! And remembered how much I LOVE to cook, and just let that slip to the bottom of my priorities lately (thesis is ALMOST DONE. OMG!).
This afternoon or tomorrow afternoon I will cook that yellow split pea dal from Mollie Katzen's "Still Life With Menu."
