Here’s To Eating Out!

I haven’t had to cook for two whole days!!! That’s just the best ever. Dinner out with friends, an invite to Aunt Faye’s for dinner with the cousins…I was on a real roll there for a while!

Sadly, I had to cook last night, but we just grilled some salmon with sides of zucchini and pilaf. Nothing exciting, except pilaf is our son’s kryptonite. He swears, no matter how hard he tries, he can’t make it. He’s a really good cook, so this makes no sense. It’s pretty a much no-brainer, foolproof side dish in my book. But maybe not. So I’m posting how I make pilaf just for Jace. One more time, with feeling. If this doesn’t do it, I guess he’ll just have to come to Mom’s house for his pilaf fix.

Cards on the table, I'm NOT a chef. Most of the time, I don't really even like to cook. But, I ALWAYS love to eat!....and I've had a lifetime of great cooks in my family showing me what good food's supposed to taste like. People are always asking me for recipes, asking what I'm cooking, so here you go. What I cook is probably as bizarre as my kids think I am. Sometimes healthy, sometimes artery clogging. Sometimes gourmet, sometimes just a quick fix to fill an empty place. Sometimes secret Italian family recipes, sometimes quick dump and stir out of cans. That's the way I roll. Take what you please, leave the rest. It's not brain surgery.
