The spend less, eat better project is on hold this week since I'll be going out of town tomorrow on business, but cooking is still on my mind. Took another cooking class today. This one on quick weeknight dinners to make from your pantry. I made a pasta dish with brussels sprouts and shallots. Truth be told, I'm not really a brussels sprouts fan, but I like to challenge myself during these classes to make and try dishes that I'd never do on my own. Can't say that I loved the dish (I think that brussels sprouts will never be a favorite), but it wasn't awful. And there were plenty of other great dishes there that I know I'll be cooking soon. I'm not sure what to make of the fact that I enjoy cooking so much. Can't decide whether it's odd or just too cliche for someone who has had a tortured relationship with food and their body almost all their life. But I'm going to take it as a good thing. Cooking makes me happy. I do believe it's good for my soul and I need to make time to do it more often. And, really, I think that getting more in touch with this passion will be great for me, overall. Not only from the standpoint of doing stuff I enjoy, but also from the standpoint of eating better, higher quality foods that I make myself. That's intuitive living and I'll take that.
