Chopped :blogging challenge
I've been away from the laptop for a while.. sorta been feeling in a rut, and what better way to get back to it all than... A cooking challenge..
Jon and I were talking and I mentioned how I've been feeling I need a little bit more excitement in the kitchen, so he suggested taking random ingredients and trying to make something with them. I've been slowly fine tuning what tastes good together..
(Recently I made some iced tea and decided ..if its good with lemon.. why not put lime in it? Its delicious and maybe my new favorite way of drinking iced tea.. )
But any who.. back to the competition. I pick 4 random ingredients and I turn out a culinary masterpiece ... ( or at least attempt at it )
The Ingredients are Lentils, carrots, and sprouts or raspberries, blueberries, peas and mozzarella.
One of the things that I'm loving right now Is Greenling.com.. Its almost like a CSA, you get local food delivered to your door.. It's amazing!
On the day it gets delivered I get so excited.. Jon probably thinks I'm crazy ha
In the latest box, I got Blueberries, Melon, Peas,Potatoes, Basil, Indian cucumbers, Peaches and Pears and even a few ears of corn. Sweeet!
I love trying new things and including different fruits and veggies in my recipes.
I used the Indian cucumbers and made a onion and cucumber salad and put it inside a pita.. It was delicious.
SO the reason I haven't really updated in a while is lots of stuff has been going on with the wedding.. been doing some planning, and some wedding dress shopping. yikes.. The other day I got a call that I won a free makeover from Mary Kay.. (wooo) I love winning stuff.
I have been taking a break from running, I've been exhausted lately, but this morning I kicked my butt out of bed and laced up my shoes.. Even at 6 in the morning, Texas is still humid as er... a greenhouse? Buut.. I got it done and It felt great! Keep it up Rachie!
Wooo hooo! Its Friday, I hope everyone has fun this weekend .. We aren't really planning much.. might go to Ikea to look a desk for me and washing Jons car. (dang car wash coupon)
Peace out Girl Scout :)
