I spent most my weekend cooking... Not eating... Just cooking... There’s times when I need to think and turn to the kitchen and just concoct all I can think of... For hours straight... I now have about 2 whole weeks worth of food...
I cooked a lamb and apricot tagine, a lamb and chickpea pilaf, I roasted beets for this salad I found on Dorie Greenspan’s blog... And as I turned the oven on... I kind of played with some pecans... Here’s what I did...
About 1 cup pecans
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 teaspoons agave nectar
freshly ground pepper
salt to taste
about 2 teaspoons lime zest
I mixed the nuts with it all, put them in the oven at 400° for about 10 minutes...
After they cooled I decided to mix them with ½ cup craisins...

| So, maybe I should really give up using my mobile's cam... |
I guess I will have to freeze all my surplus food now... Or something...
I used to cook all day so that I'd have many meals for the week. I hate cooking Lena. I'm a good cook but I just hate doing it. So good for you! I wish my teen would cook more. She's a very good cook but has to be IN THE MOOD.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had lamb in forever and it's so good. You can't find it where we live. Maybe at a butcher shop somewhere but there aren't any of those nearby either. So for now I will pretend to remember how good that it is!
The nut mix sounded interesting, and your picture was fine! Love Di ♥
I usually cook only what I'm going to eat... Unless it's a stew or something that takes very long, Di... I do find cooking relaxing, it helps me focus... When I'm troubled I'll head to the kitchen...
ReplyDeleteThe nut mix was yummy... ate it all... :)
About the photo here... I truly should go back to using my real cam... (It's been sitting in my walk in for almost a year... Ouch...)
Loads of love!! XXX
I never used to enjoy cooking but lately I've done more and more of it. Instead of dreading the clean up, I feel good about showing myself some care and self nurturing. It's nice to think, wow, I cooked this! instead of thinking, gosh, wish this was a cheese stuffed pizza from down the street.
ReplyDeleteLove, xoxo
Cooking is nice... Relaxing, cheap, healthy...
ReplyDeletePlus... It helps me think ;)

Visiting from La Belette... and your recipe sounds divine. (Oh, for good men who enjoy cooking with women and making it sociable from start to finish!)
ReplyDeleteHey there BigLittleWolf! :)
ReplyDeleteI know one good man who would have eaten the whole batch had he been here on Sunday...
(First person to ever have handled my chef's knife besides me...) I love cooking with him... (Don't tell him I said that... :))
Thank you so much for visiting!! XXX
Ha! Love it! (And my son made the recipe for me on Mother's Day... yum!)
