You guys. I know. It’s been forever. Life sort of got in the way of my cooking recently, and when I did do a bit of cooking in the last two months, it was either a disaster (stories to come) or a total bore. Neither are post-worthy. You can all thank me for sparing you the misery.
But now that we are settled in a new kitchen (it’s bigger! and prettier!) and back from several trips out of state, I made this little gem and it was delicious. And pretty healthy. And when I left and then returned to the house a few hours after dinner, the scent of this dish lingered and still smelled wonderful, which to me has always been a sign of a good meal.
I hesitate even to tell you where I found it, because perhaps it will gather dust in your bookmark folder as it did mine for far too many weeks while you silently pre-judge it. It claims it is health food, moreover it claims it is good for anemia, which is just not appetizing. I’m sorry to tell you that this recipe hails from Women’s Health. Yes. I can feel your disappointment from here, but trust me when I tell you this doesn’t taste like health food or like it should fit into the category of (and I quote) “inactive woman diet plans”. Sigh. Make it this week and rise above your mockery. You’ll be happy you did.
