My kitchen hasn't been very busy these last two weeks. At least not in a way that inspires me to grab the camera. Over Labor Day weekend my husband and I took a trip to visit family, and since coming home I haven't felt much like cooking. Something about long trips always throws me off of my routine, be it cooking, exercising, or cleaning. My husband has been picking up my slack and made the salmon in the photo. I jokingly named it "Magic Salmon" because he doesn't really follow a recipe but it usually comes together with great results. The glaze basically contains fresh ginger, garlic, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar and red pepper. My small contribution was the Asian inspired sauteed spinach.
I jazzed up some boxed organic mac & cheese last night. Does that count for anything? It was pretty good actually. We had some fresh cherry tomatoes lying around so I halved them and generously tossed them into our bowls of macaroni, along with some crumbled bacon, fresh white pepper and a light sprinkle of 2% shredded cheese. Then I popped our bowls into the microwave to melt the cheese and warm the tomatoes. Comfy and quick, sometimes those are the best recipes.
Tonight I'm excited for the premiere of Top Chef: Just Desserts. I've really had an interest in baking recently so I can't wait to see the chefs in action. Perhaps I should whip up something sweet tonight. Is it wrong to eat dessert while watching a show about dessert?
