Recipe Resolution; A Culinary Adventure

Teaching myself to cook by preparing new recipes to try out on family and friends as often as possible. I am not a natural talent when it comes to cooking so this is truly a learning experience. I choose to use organic and locally grown produce as well as growing many of my own organic herbs and vegetables. Join me in my adventure as I prepare the great, the good, the mediocre, the bad and the ugly. Hopefully more of the former and less of the latter. :)

Week Two Recap

The great, the bad and the mediocre. That was my week of recipes in a nutshell. The salmon fusili dish is one I will definitely remake for friends and family. The orzo shrimp dish will never be revisited and the macaroon recipe was a good start but I will be looking for another macaroon recipe that better suits our taste. I am not sure what direction I will go next week. I am thinking some type of soup and perhaps a homemade bread. We'll see!
