1 For The Money...

2 for the grow; 3 to get ready; now go, veggies, go!

 

Greetings all!  After a particularly long hiatus during which I was preparing cooking demos, applications for medical school, and doing all of those other things that magically seem to steal my time, I AM BACK!  And what a great time it is to be back.  Despite the beads of sweat betraying the presumed power of the fan blowing full blast right next to me, that great, hot summer sun is also my best friend because it produces some of the best looking, best smelling, and--even more important--best tasting vegetables of the year!  So let's get cooking!

Refrigerator Dollars and Sense

Happy Monday!  After a semi-long stint without a post, I am happy to be back and writing (I must admit as well that I was also semi-threatened with disownership as a friend if I did not get back into the "writing saddle" most immediately; admittedly, that was a much-needed push [thank you]).  For my abscence, I can only beg forgiveness, hope you did not spend too much time standing in front of your refrigerator staring in angst while contemplating what to make, and offer up an explanation... 

Explanation: as some of you know, I am working on applying to medical school this year. 

Translation: a lot of what was once "free time" for writing has become "study time" for reading.

Alas, all of this currently missing "free time" in my schedule struck a chord with me about the likelihood that many of you find yourselves lacking extra hours in your days as well.  Accordingly, I thought it was high time that I stop hinting about the utility of learning how to better manage both time and money in the pursuit of deliciousness, and actually talk "refrigerator dollars and sense" with you.

A Dish For Every Season

Perhaps I only hinted at it last week, but I can see no good reason to delay sharing my #1 food mantra (besides "Deliciousness") any longer.  So here it goes...

*drum roll*

EAT FRESH.
