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 Five Recap

I am undoubtedly calling this week a success. The French Onion Soup was fantastic enough to make up for the other two recipes had they also not turned out well. I still can't believe I made the soup. It was really that exquisite. The Black Bean and Corn Salad was mediocre to good and the Banana Bread recipe was great. Next week should be fairly easy as two of my recipes are planned for our Super Bowl party tomorrow. This will leave me six days to make next week's third dish. No procrastination for me next week! Guess I had better start planning now. Maybe an intricate pasta dish? Only time will tell.
