As I head back to school for another year--my sixth--I'm in search of inspiration. Anything that inspires me to try something new is my focus.
Lately, money has been tight so I've started to do more cooking at home and I'm quickly tiring of the same old ordinary recipes I'm comfortable with. Obviously there's nothing wrong with barbequed chicken or pork, but I'm looking for variety these days!
So, in the spirit of the movie Julie and Julia I've decided to cook my way through some (probably not all) of the dishes I find on various blogs, including those of some friends and family, as well as branch out and try some new dishes I discover elsewhere. Who knows? Maybe I'll start inventing dishes of my own.
If you have any suggestions for dishes that I just must try, please let me know.
Today was Ben's first experience with feeding Tate cereal and fruit...apparently this morning's feeding did not go nearly so well as this evening. Let me just say--I've never seen Tate this excited about food. Now if anywhere near as much as was on his face made it to his stomach that would make it even better. I think nearly every part of his face got a little bit of cereal and pears. I guess that's why we bathe at night!
We're 5 days in to this cereal thing and so far so good. Definitely more fond of fruit than veggies, but we eat the veggies, too! (We've only tried green beans so far--thought I'd start with something more basic and work up to sweet potatoes and squash) I'm determined to get Tate to eat and like fruits and veggies like me. Hopefully he won't be as particular as Ben when it comes to fruits and veggies!
