Bon Appetit!

A home-cooked meal is always more satisfying than take out. Tonight Crystal and I prepared a dish from Jamie Oliver's cookbook. We watch his show "Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution" and we saw him make this dish on TV. Jamie made it look so simple to make so we decided to tackle it tonight.

Crystal had the ingredients ready by the time I got home from work so cooking went by even quicker. This was probably the first dish we made from a recipe that we didn't know how to cook that tasted the best. We wondered how Jamie's other recipes would taste knowing how well this one turned out.

This dish is not only home-made but also healthy. If we learned anything at all from Jamie Oliver, I would have to say that cooking a meal from scratch is a great way to start eating healthier. He emphasizes that in order to have a healthy diet, we should all AVOID eating "PROCESSED" ingredients. Always use fresh ingredients to have a good ol' fashioned, wholesome meal. Well boy oh boy, this recipe was delicious!

I felt like Julia Child tonight; with an excitement for food, we cooked with passion and could taste every ingredient in the dish. It was a wonderful blend of vegetables, beef, and pasta with an oriental twist. I feel healthier already.

So, we wanted to challenge ourselves. Would it be possible for us to cook all of his recipes in 365 days? It's just an idea for now. So far, I came up with the idea of using a poll every week to see which recipe you guys would like for us to make. Although, I don't think we can accomplish all his dishes in a year, I think a better goal is to cook all of his meals at least once. Once we decide on what to do, we will let you know so stay tuned for updates!
