Organic October

Most of you are already well aware of my love for holidays and themes. Some of you may have also noted the them for September: Adventure September. October is also themed, but not in the way that the name may actually imply. I'm not going to eat only Organic, but rather I might cook a real meal once or twice a week. And to help me along I have a beautiful and simple cookbook Simply Organic. Sarah and I went to the farmers market yesterday to get a few ingredients for this weeks two dishes.

The inspiration has been this: I've stopped cooking. Which has lead to me not eating what I should. It started about a year ago. I don't know if it was TFA, or grad school, or just a combination of everything, (or Sara Alsup moving away from Baltimore...I might just blame it on her), but I stopped doing something I really love. It's not just that I don't cook, but I haven't wanted to cook. Sometimes we have hobbies or things that we love, and we don't do them simply because we don't have time. Not the case here. I stand in the kitchen and the only things that sound good are Rasin Bran and Yogurt, not really a balanced diet.

And so, October is dedicated to this: Cooking (not to be confused with baking). Nothing huge. Nothing fancy. Just a decent meal here and there with some vegetables and maybe a little protein.

I think I might like it.
