Cooking

I got this cookbook (well... we did register for it!) at my bridal shower and in the last few weeks I've been trying it out. So far I love the recipes. It has a really good vegetarian chili that is easy, fast, and cheap. It's good for a couple of dinners! Also, I made a "Festive Pork Roast" on Monday. It was way too fancy for a regular Monday night, but I'll make it again for a special occasion. The pork turned out delicious and the marinade/sauce had lots of interesting flavors. I'm actually planning on making the chili again this week (I make it at my sister's house while watching Baby K and bring half of it home).


I got another yummy pork recipe from www.RealSimple.com. Definitely try it!

**Funny side note... the pork with roasted tomatoes called for "pounding" the meat to make it a certain thickness, and we didn't have a meat tenderizer... so I used a spatula. Didn't work so well b/c the meat wanted to slip from underneath it and shoot across the room! Haha... got the proper tool now!**
