I guess it all started with the book recipe testing project.

 

On schedule for the August first deadline at Ben BellaBooks - my publisher- for the full manuscript of The Plant-Based Journey meant testing the recipes as they are to be published in the book.

 

Once, twice, and yet again.

 

That meant this outdoor grrrl - who would rather be hiking and biking than slicing and stirring - had to  make an attitude adjustment and measure some ingredients.

 

For someone who doesn't like to cook yet loves to eat, the part about which I grumble the most is the cleanup.  Greg has heard me say more than just a few times "I just want to EAT!"

 

Rest assured, I've kept most of my recipes in the book short and sweet for that very reason.  It's how I cook most of the time, after all!

 

Yet the past few days domesticity has gotten the best of me and I've gotten creative in the kitchen, and I just had to share it with you!

 

 

Please come by, take a look, and tell me what you think.
