Food For The Soul and Body

 Food for the Soul and Body

I'm not a very good cook. I know how to cook "home cooking", food for supper. I'm not creative or imaginative in the kitchen. I cook the things that for me are tried and true. Spaghetti, a roast and potatoes, meatloaf ... you get the picture.

This year I have challenged myself to make new dishes and to be more adventurous in my cooking and baking.

I just made the Viral Asian Carrot Salad and I am addicted! 

This salad is fresh, delicious and gets better and better as it marinates.


As this salad recipe is presently "viral" on social media there are a lot of recipes. I chose the simplest recipe with the least amount of ingredients. 

  • 4 large carrots
  • 1 shallotfinely diced
  • 1 Tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 Tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 small lemonzest and juice of
  • 1 Tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 2-3 Tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro


Speaking of home cooking ... my youngest asked me how to make fried potatoes. So, believe it or I made a video tutorial for him and text messaged it to him.
hahahaha!!

Just call me Julia ...
