Well, I have caught the dreaded "Summer Cold". I haven't had a cold in almost four years, so I really can't complain. However, there is nothing worse than being super congested in the hot, thick, South Carolina summer air. Gross. Each time I step outside, I feel like someone puts a plastic bag over my head and I'm suffocating. Nice. So...if this post is hard to understand, or laden with bad grammar and/or punctuation, I'm blaming it on the cold meds that are making me a little loopy. :)
Lately, I am OBSESSED with cooking. I mean seriously, I could just stay home all day, every day and cook and cook. I love it! I have planned out my menus for the next 4 weeks and I've made my grocery lists. The menus are posted on my fridge, and I look forward to making all new recipes. I am loving The Food Network magazine! It's amazing! Some of the recipes are a tad too time consuming and ridiculously over the top, but it's still a fun read for killing time, and getting ideas.
I also got the Taste of Home 5 Ingredient magazine. It's, by far, my new favorite. I'm pretty sure it's a special publication, but it is really great. I love simple but delicious meals and this one should provide just that. I'll let you know how the recipes go.
Also, over at Kraft Foods website they have a "One Bag, Five Dinners" section, complete with a printable shopping list and recipes for a weeks worth of meals! I plan to make several of these dishes as well, and I'll let you know how they taste. Obviously, since I'm just cooking for myself (and sometimes Hot Police Boy), I will modify the recipes accordingly and can probably get two days of meals out of one night's cooking. I'm fine with leftovers!
So, I'll leave you with one of my FAVORITE recipes for a sandwich that I eat all year. My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. I could eat Turkey every day of my life! This sandwich is my "Thanksgiving Feast" that I can have any time!
Thanksgiving Sandwich:
2 slices of whole wheat bread (I like the deli style bread, it's thicker and holds up well with travel)
As much sliced deli turkey as you prefer
2 slices of Baby Swiss cheese (I use Sargento)
1 leaf of lettuce (I use Romaine or Butter)
Mayo
salt and pepper
dried or fresh Thyme, Sage and Rosemary
Cranberry Sauce
I spread mayo on one slice of bread, layer turkey cheese and lettuce, sprinkle on S&P, dried thyme, sage and Rosemary to taste and spread cranberry sauce on the other slice of bread. Put it all together and you, too, can have a Thanksgiving Feast in the middle of August!
