I don't know if it is my maternal instincts kicking in, or if its a result of nesting, but I have had the major urge to put my creativity to use in the kitchen. My passion for cooking, that took an absence for a while, is finally back! There are so many things that I want to make, and this fall season is giving me a warm cozy feeling that inspires me to make homey feel-good meals. However, it it's a little disheartening when I don't really have anyone to cook for. My boyfriend is on this "health kick". I love vegetables. I would love to have them every meal but sometimes I just want something hearty and comforting too. Unfortunately just eating vegetables all the time don't satisfy me as much as a cheesy lasagna would.
I have gotten so excited over the meals that I have made. I don't use any recipes but just dig into the pantry and throw together what ever I can find. Last night I thought it would be a perfect night for some home made chili, something that I have never made before. I dug into the pantry and dug out what ever I could find. The chili turned out great, if I may so myself. I even through in a lot of vegetables hoping that it would make Jordan actually want to eat something I made for once. He didn't. I was disappointed. I'm not going to let that kill this for me though. I have been looking up different things to make and I write them down in a journal. I keep on having this fantasy of me cooking meals for my son, my family and I gathered around a dinner table talking about the day we had over a nice comforting meal that I made.
