Eating well

Mark and I have been on a swing lately, a swing out of our usual food and cooking rut. We haven’t gone out to eat in weeks and we have only had minimal duplication of meals, or parts of meals over these weeks. We’ve been getting creative with supplies on hand and have been entertaining and cooking for large groups of friends multiple weekends in a row. My expanding diet also helps in meal planning. It’s much easier to cook for two when the two are eating the same things and there no longer exists as many taboo menu items.

I love being the hostess and cooking for friends. It’s so much more social when in your own kitchen with your guests helping with preparations. It seems like we have used our dining room more times this year for entertaining than we have had in the previous five years of living here.

Although, I am looking forward to a couple of quiet days doing nothing this coming weekend. So, who’s cooking next?
