Julia is my sous chef. Every evening as soon as I start rattling pots or pans, she appears, ready to help. I love the time we spend together in anticipation of the good things we are about to eat.
In thinking about these summer months and trying to come up with ways for us to pass the time in fun ways...I thought that maybe I could find a cookbook to provide some inspiration. I don't currently own any cookbooks, because usually there are 0-2 recipes per book that I really want to make again and again. :) Most of the time I just use cookbooks as inspiration, so the library is the perfect source.
When my turn to check this book out finally came...I started recording which recipes I'd like to try...and soon the list was long enough to warrant the purchase. Feeding a Family by Sarah Waldman will be Julia's and my activity book of sorts...for the summer...and I'm guessing...beyond.
What I look for in a recipe:
-taste
-nutrition
-zero-waste potential (a few substitutes can be made)
-whole food ingredients
-vegetarian options or adaptation possibilities
Feeding a Family checks all of the boxes...maybe not every recipe...but a lot!

I suggested that maybe Julia would like to choose a recipe from this book each week to make together. She asked, "When? Tomorrow?" So...that was yesterday...and these pictures are from today! :) Yum...Leek, Red Potato, + Feta Galette. We will definitely be making this again...next time with our own potatoes! We sincerely recommend this cookbook...from the library or otherwise! :)
Love,
