What Did You Do All Weekend?

Ummm. prepared food?

Step #1 - CLEAN and DRY all food.

Thank goodness for NPR's "This American Life"

free podcasts every week - would not survive the long hours

of food prep.

Each one is shined before photo shoot - NOT!

Step #2 - Start making food for the week.

Example?

Homemade Salsa

Pesto

Roast Veggies

Cook rice

Nothing like having little reminder of "family" in your kitchen.

Some art and some Christmas dish rags.

THANKS LEIA and GAGA!

Love avocados....maybe I will make some GUAC too!?!

Good/expensive oils are good to have...not too many but one of two.

Game changer - really.

GREAT rice....love this dark purple STUFF!

(Okay - okay, looks a little like dead ants but promise NOTHING like the taste)

Peter - would you eat this!?!?

YUM!

And this is my LAME attempt at making quinoa-tomato soup.

Ran out of coconut milk so the soup is thicker than I would have wanted...

Ummmm?

Lauren - that ain't NO SOUP.

That's salsa.

So should I try it?

Would you eat this Peter?

Taking one for the team.

OMG.

IT'S ACTUALLY GOOD

(as in edible, who knew?)

I win!

Boom.
