Today is the day. I was amazed in the kitchen once again at the simplicity of delicious healthy food and the thought entered my mind for the 1ooth time. To start a blog so that I may share my recipes and concoctions with friends and family. Especially Jenna who just relocated from New York City to Santa Fe to live with her beloved. And now that she has a kitchen bigger than a closet and someone to share with, she is all geared up to cook! She needs my help!!
I've been wanting to do this for some time now, create a blog for my hand painted furniture and a blog for all the great meals and snacks I concoct. They are both rich in color and full of life, giving me great satisfaction while also serving as an outlet for my creative energy. I love to share my meals. Feeding people good, healthy food is one of the most rewarding things I can think of. I love smiles and full bellies combined. I also enjoy painting things for people. Be it a broom, an old highchair, or an old chair tucked way back in the attic, bring it on.
So here I am starting something I've been talking about for too long now. A blog for my hand painted furniture, a blog for healthy meals...which one do I start first and how in the world do i even do it? While my main goal is to share healthy meals rich in color and robust in flavor, you might see a picture or two of something I'm painting.
I put together a few things today to nourish myself while savoring the pretty vegetables and herbs of summer while they're still around. Just simple fresh ingredients is all you need. You will see a vegetarian trend here as the blog grows, as I love and live with a vegetarian. However, I am not one myself. I enjoy the occasional turkey sandwich or filet mignon from time to time. I love seafood. But I am happy to be eating less and less of it. It makes me feel good to know I am making a difference not only in my body, but in lessening my carbon footprint.

So Today's deliciousness consisted of fresh okra, 2 ears of corn, a few ripe tomatoes from my garden and fresh basil. I started out with a few hefty drops of olive oil in my iron skillet and cut the corn off the cob directly into the skillet, then I chopped up my tomatoes, threw in the okra and added just a tad of water, salt and pepper and let her cook for about half an hour on low heat. The result was sensational. Mouth watering sweetness from the corn and titallating tanginess from the basil and tomotoes!
I can't wait to get home and try this beautiful bridger--thank you for sharing your brightness with everyone!!
