PROJECT KITCHEN MOJO, DAY ONE


i'm attempting to recapture my mojo in the kitchen.
it's been a while.
a long while.
not sure why i'm inspired.
maybe it's the spring weather.
the abundance of beautiful strawberries at the market.
the promise of summer fruit to come.
the planting of fruits and veggies in the yard.
or maybe it's the fact that the boys have recently discovered they like salad.
regardless, i'm at least trying to add a bit of pep to our nightly meal.
and who is helping?
why, none other than the folks at martha stewart's everyday food magazine.

5 meals from one shopping list.

tonight was day number one: chicken tostada salad.

and the results are in:

boon: "really good, especially the crunchy, cheesy tortilla."

hudson: "yeah, it was good."

mom: "delicious!"

dad: "restaurant quality."

and to give the hubby some props...when he arrived home from work,
i had the table set with the tostadas already plated.
he said,
"wow, what a pretty dinner."
major props to this man.
