where to start?

Where to start has been the problem. Last post I was kicking off a test run of helping a friend with some herbivore cooking. Then I broke my ankle playing sand volleyball and the ongoing recovery took me through my recent wedding. The combination of big life events left me wondering if I would remember how to cook when I finally got back to it.

I started back this week and had to go back to the books. To keep it pretty easy I have been cooking from Berley's Italian and Vegetables Everyday cookbooks. Monday was spaghetti squash and broccoli. Tuesday was escarole and chickpeas. Tonight was asparagus and tomatoes on whole wheat pasta.

It felt excellent to be eating real food again. I like all the dishes but I feel I have lost my rating ability. I will revisit these recipes again when I am back up to speed.

The only picture I got was for the pasta and I will have to document the recipes later. I really am out of practice but it feels good to be getting back.
