I guess we'll all be wracking our brains to discover what we might do to make 2010 a good year. On this New Year's Day, after wading through my emails, I started unsubscribing from a few things. I think I was receiving the recipe of the day from five or more online foodie havens, but really, do I need more inspiration?
This year, my hope is to draw my inspiration from the local produce, the healthy whole food grains and beans in my pantry, and continue to bring out the family favorites. I think it would be defeating the purpose for me to get so caught up in trying every latest and greatest recipe, that the family ends up not getting our favorites.
My favorite recipes usually become family favorites as I learn how to make them fairly effortlessly; they're usually pretty healthy too. I'm not knocking the creative cook who tries new things. I will continue to try new things myself. I just think I may need to refocus my priorities this year. With a few grandkids now added to the roster, who seem to enjoy a lot of the old, classic recipes with new relish, why should I bend over backwards as if impressing the weary, sophisticated palate of the worldly?! After all, when we're good and hungry, doesn't it all taste good?!
