Summer Eatings

//

I must confess something.... I am a terrible cook. I can bake you anything from scratch. I can make you cookies or pies or a carrot cake. I can make really good whipped cream. But I cannot cook. I just don't have it in me. Isaac cooks so much better than me, and if you can believe it, he's actually the one that does most of the cooking. He really does love it and he's really good at it. He cooks you dinner and you feel special. He takes his time and does everything slowly, which is what I do when I bake, but what I cannot do when I cook. Maybe it's because I'm always hungry and I just want the dinner to be cooked so I can sit down and eat it. Here are some photos are what we've been eating this summer. I don't know if soup is a winter thing but I can eat soup any time, any season! I love soup with crusty french bread. Isaac made this soup from scratch. It had fresh corn on the cob, carrots, celery, rice and chicken. Maybe some other things, I've forgotten. It's my favorite soup.

These two meals I did make, although one of them required very little cooking and the other no cooking at all! I saw a recipe for Vegetarian Taco Salad in Eating Well and decided to try it out. It's wonderful, light and fresh. I squeeze lime juice all over it and eat the whole plate. It makes a lot even though I don't follow the recipe measurements exactly and since it's just Isaac and I eating we always have a lot left over. We make it quite often now. The other day I made it but used it as filling for corn tacos. And one morning I wasn't craving anything but fruit so I made that fruit plate. It was so pretty and the best but I couldn't finish it all.
