I kinda get the picture that people don't really know how to cook. I have read that the cure for childhood obesity isn't gym class but home economics class.
Nor do people really know what to eat, especially not involving meat. When I am in conversation with people it comes up that we don't eat really alot of dead animals but at the time I can never really convey what we eat, so I thought I might just blog about it.
Anyways, here is dinner tonight.
Main Course
It was 5:15 before I even thought about dinner sooo it was a quirky thrown together from fridge contents.
$5 for 500g spinach and cheese ravioli
'Sause'
-CSA onion
-CSA spinach
-50% off red pepper for a minor blemish
-75% mushroom cause they looked slightly off
Saute with olive oil and white wine vinegar. Would have used real white wine but I didn't have any.

I haven't eaten a dead animal for a year now. I eat lots of great food though. A ton of Indian dishes cooked by my wonderful husband:)
This is the muffin recipe I like to use, it is not really a recipe, but you just throw in whatever you have that needs used up.
I made some muffins tonight and used some raisin bran that was about to go stale, some leftover rice, the remains of a yogurt container, craisins and the rest of the blueberries that were getting too mushy to eat on their own. They turned out delisious (can't spell)
