The hiatus is OVA!!! Due to needing to control my fat/carb intake for my sister's wedding combined with the business of being a maid of honour in said wedding, I took a little break from Betty. Well, I'm back! With pork!
I found it kind of nice to revert back to my non -measuring, spicy-cooking self... I made a killer cream of mushroom soup with turkey bacon, a zucchini-instead-of-noodles based lasagna, carb-free tacos, Italian Wedding Soup, my OWN jambalaya recipe, bacon-wrapped water chestnuts, stuffed mushrooms, basil-boconccini-tomato skewers, meatballs and more... FUN.
However, I DO have to admit that I missed the variety that cooking everything from a cookbook offers, and I think I bought more ready-made food. I'm just happy to be back, and I am already planning my Christmas baking with Betty in mind. I don't think I'll make a recipe every night, but I am going to try for 2-3 per week... that should suffice, right?
Right now we are impatiently waiting for the Cheesy-Vegetable Stuffed Pork Chops to finish baking, and we will have them with Fresh Herb Vinaigrette on a salad. You had a million choices of which herbs to get, but I chose Tarragon... oops. It smells bad.
Here we go again!!!
I'm so glad you're back....thanks for the wedding help and good luck with the pork! Tarragon? Huh.....I can't get celery here, so consider yourself lucky :)
