Week of 1-30-12 -- 2-04-12

I like sauces. They taste yummy.

Fra Diavolo sauce sounds like a great thing. Of course I won't be using shrimp.

Week of 1-16-12 -- 1-22-12

For this week, we'll do one dish: Ratatouille.

I had never had it until after the Disney movie came out, I must admit. But since that first time making it, it quickly became one of the bestest in my arsenal of dishes. Vegetables? Check! Sopping sauce? Check! Oooey, gooey, melty cheesey deliciousness? CHECK! So long as you watch the amount of Parmesan in it, it's not even that terrible for your waist line.

I usually serve it over a bit of orzo pasta, or with a nice piece of warmed crusty bread.

Night of cooking: 1-18-12.

Welcome!

We both love to cook, but are sometimes lacking on the motivation. I figured it might be nice to put together a little challenge that would motivate the both of us to cook at home more, and thought it might be nice to share a meal with a good friend, even if we live ~1400 miles away from each other.

So, here's the set up.

We'll agree upon a recipe or two to cook each week, and post it here.

We'll shop for the ingredient.

We'll figure out which week night we're cooking the recipe on.

We'll prepare the meal.

We'll take pictures of the finish plate (when we're able to).

We'll enjoy the meal.

We'll post our thoughts.

Sounds simple, right?
