Thanks to a recommendation from a friend, I'm going to give Mark Bittman's "Kitchen Express" a whirl next week. I'm starting with a linguine in pea sauce with bacon (subbed for the prosciutto), and an orange honey chicken with a couscous side. On glancing through the cookbook, it looks like a more streamlined, yet simultaneously more gourmet Rachael Ray, with more room for personal creativity. I have high hopes...
I'm also trying Greenling for the first time next week, thanks to my new Groupon addiction. I'm very excited. I'm having some produce delivered, as well some prepared foods. I do love packages delivered to my door, and especially if there's something yummy inside of them! I'm not feeling up to the local box yet, where undisclosed produce appears weekly, and then I have the challenge of figuring out what to do with it. For the time being, I'm just building my own boxes, while knowing exactly what I'm going to do with it!
I'm not baking too many sweets right now, but my recipe sweet tooth is apparently alive and well. I came across a couple today that I want to try - the KAF no-knead sticky rolls and their chocolate snack cake. It will be interesting to see how the former compares to the Cooking Light sticky rolls, which I found really successful, and not overly taxing. The KAF version is based on one of the Artisan Breads in 5 Minutes a Day recipes, so we'll see...
This weekend will be a lovely sampler of good ol' Texas cuisine. We're headed to the Salt Lick tonight and to Marble Falls for pumpkin picking and the Bluebonnet Cafe tomorrow. Yeehaw!
