I was so glad when Cheryl decided to host this Gathering of Moments because I was looking for a way to use pictures from my 2014 calendar for my blog. I've also been in a writing slump lately and this is the perfect way for me to keep me connected until this... season... is over. I could have chosen a theme of "cold" or "snow" for this month because the weather has been, well, cold and snowy. But, for me, this month has been all about food.
On January 2nd my husband and I started a food plan called Whole30 and I have had to learn a whole new way of cooking. I've really enjoyed it but boy, oh boy, did I spend a lot of time in the kitchen at first. I was creating recipes left and right! And I learned to make my own mayonnaise, too! Here are just a few pictures from this month's menu... rutabaga fries with (homemade!) mayonnaise, zusketti (spiralized zucchini) with meatballs, and a hearty breakfast of eggs, (homemade!) sausage patties, roasted sweet potatoes, and sweet cherries. Yum!
Due to several peoples' interest in the spiral zucchini, I've decided to post a link to the one that I purchased. It isn't an endorsement for the brand since I've not compared it with other brands, just simply "this is the one I have." http://www.amazon.com/Paderno-World-Cuisine-A4982799-Tri-Blade/dp/B0007Y9WHQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1391200314&sr=8-1&keywords=spiralizer
