Foodie.

Funny, I was just thinking about this last night...how much I love to eat, how much I wish I could cook, how delighted I get when I actually throw something together that tastes halfway decent.

Then I saw Taza's post about food, her love of food, her love of bad food (me too!) and her new propensity for food blogs. She lists some faves and I will definitely be adding them to my reading list!

H works nights and so, most weeknights, I am left to my own devices in the kitchen. Sometimes, it's disasterous. Sometimes, it's McDonald's. And sometimes, it just works. A few weeks back I threw together a dish that I really enjoyed! I caramelized some onions and cooked sauteed them with some green peppers. At the same time, boiling whole wheat pasta. Then I added some red sauce, just a touch, to the veggies and some feta cheese. A little sour cream for its creaminess. I used some pre-packaged salmon as my protein and - presto! - a successful meal that was really good!

I took a picture of it and sent it to H. I have no idea why I do this. Maybe it's to prove that I can sometimes surprise myself in the kitchen. I take pictures of my food a lot. Evidence below.

Food Shot #1 - breakfast for dinner last night. Open face egg sandwich with pork roll and cheddar. Home fries with a bit of onion. Oh, and ketchup. Lots of it.

Food Shot #2 - the makings of a pizza I made for us as a late Saturday night snack a few weekends ago. Yes, lots of cheese. This was a Five Ingredient Fix recipe. Love that show.

Food Shot #3 - the concoction I described above, salmon and pasta with veggies.


What can I say, I guess I am an official foodie.
