... and all the lighter fare to come!
So what’s cooking in my kitchen now?Bean Soup with lots of carrots, celery, fennel and onion...
simmered for hours and served in the warm sun of our cozy family room,
a place where you can close your eyes, feel those blissful rays on your face and almost believe that it actually is green and lush outside!
I'm also cooking a super savory chicken stir fry!
Sesame seeds, broccoli, green beans, carrots, soba noodles,
soy sauce, chicken broth and a good dash of hot sauce. There's something about colorful, spicy foods that make you feel downright summer-y!
And lots of fruit smoothies!
Today’s breakfast was mango juice, blueberries (frozen from the Michigan blueberry season), strawberries, raspberries, banana, flax seed and yogurt.
Thick and creamy, refreshing and nurturing.
My brother Jim and sister-in-law Wendy purchased a cookbook for me during their recent trip to Barbados, called Caribbean Recipes, Old and New, by LaurelAnn Morley. Beautiful photos and recipes. Can't wait to read it from cover to cover- island food is the perfect blend of sweetness, spiciness and flavor.
Check out Borders for the newest tropical and ethnic cookbooks on the market. Spending a few hours in the kitchen, surrounded by fresh produce and exotic new flavors is sure way to catch Spring Fever.
Thanks for thinking of me dear brother and sister!)
