Tasty

 

We got a new cookbook for Christmas (thanks Mom). It's called Tasty: Get Great Food on the Table Every Day. The premise is that you should be able to get great food on the table every day. The cookbook is divided into Breakfast, Lunch, Soup, Weeknight Dinners, Weekend Cooking, Sides, Salads, Nibbles, Condiments, and Dessert.

In our quest to cook at home with fresh, local ingredients, we're trying a number of recipes from this cookbook.

After trying two of them, I believe that this cookbook will become a staple of our cookbook library.

Welcome

We love to cook. We love to eat. We love to buy and eat locally. We're also on a budget. We've decided that 2007 is the year we endeavor to cook the majority of our meals at home with fresh, local ingredients.

One of us (the love of my life) happens to be diabetic. So the meals we cook at home need to be low sugar, and relatively low carb.

There are plenty of resources on the internet for low sugar and low carb recipes. However, most of those sites don't have the same feel as the great food blogs. I love Orangette, Roots and Grubs, Culinary Fool, and many others. These blogs don't just post recipes, they talk about them. I'm going to try to post a few recipes every week. Some of these recipes will be low carb, some low sugar, and some will just end up being really good.

With as many of these recipes as possible, I'll post pictures and reviews. Some of these recipes will fail and I'll probably even post some of those. Hey, just because we didn't like something doesn't mean you won't.

Enjoy!
