I have been trying to find ways to make food more interesting to look at and to eat. 

and I recently found my old box cookie cutters. So everything has been Heart and butterfly shapes lately! 

For Lunch

Polenta, Cut into shapes then Pan fried.

-

Fried Black Beans

-

Lettuce, Pickle Salad

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For Dinner

White Rice and Potato Curry

-

Spring Rolls with Tofu, Carrots, Lettuce, Basil, and Rice noodles

and a spicy Peanut Sauce

(watch and learn how to make Tofu here)

So when I cook I make it up most of the time..it is hard for me to read cook books (its like a different language) but I do get inspired by the pictures! 

So there are a lot of things I dont know how to make.....but that doesn't keep me from trying!! 

I wanted to make Rice and Dal, but I have never made Dal by my self before....But that didn't stop me no! It is so exciting just going for it and cooking what ever you want! you might make some mistakes. but making mistakes is how you learn!!! 

Just like how I can't write very well...but I do it as much as I can on this blog...and hopefully I will get better (even if I do look like a ass) 

don't let fear hold you back from cooking and just figure it out! experiment!!
