Last Weekend's Cooking

I know I know I'm behind the times here. I haven't managed to do much in August beyond eat, drink, and skip the gym so cooking and then writing about it hasn't been at the top of my list. BUT, fall's here people, I start school tomorrow, and my regimens are resuming, so here we are. Last week I made this adzuki bean salad, which was as the recipe says "zesty". I really liked it, but adzuki beans can be challenging -  super nutritious but sometimes gritty - I would say that this recipe represents them in a favorable light. But I would also only really recommend it to those looking to get into adzuki's. On a side note, it came from the Whole Foods recipe site which I'm loving! Tons of good ideas.

I also made this bean salad (pretty into beans) from Cooking Books, and when I went looking for white balsamic in the store, I discovered this guy. Ahem, wow. White balsamic glaze with truffle oil, and just for the record I only paid $7, and also for the record it's changed my life. Really good, added a ton of flavor to this salad, and to everything else that comes close to it. Anthony Bourdain calls anything with truffle oil "fake cooking" and now I can see why.

just wondering..

Missoula, MT Trip

Helped my sister move into her new house for Sophmore year at the University of MT, although I use help loosely here. I think my mom gets the most credit..I tried to drink wine and eat. Mission accomplished when we went to a nearby winery, and had amazing homemade truffles. It was so nice to see where Sofia lives for half the year these days, share Missoula with her, and hang with her dog Molly. Love you Sof, and good luck this year!! xo

Aand my brother got a dog. Where's mine?!!

 

Someday, someday.
