And yes, that is a box of Charleston Chews on the counter. Am I the only one who HAS to eat something right away after getting home from work or I'll die? The meal that only needed one leek was really awesome as well. I made a Cauliflower and Potato Gratin that I found on this website: http://www.thewednesdaychef.com. It was like homemade mac-and-cheese, but better. The potato and cauliflower are soft and have their own flavor which makes them better than noodles. Have a bit of this with a simple bitter salad for dinner; its a nice combo. We had arugula with oranges and an olive oil and lemon juice dressing. I have to admit though, it was a little bit hard to eat salad with this hot, melty, cheesy option on the other half of the plate. (Note: I cannot put the full website address of the links I give here because I have yet to learn how to make a link work in my blog and if I type the whole address it runs off the page. But if you go to either of those blogs you can look for the recipes posted in early January and you will find them).

Soup Kitchen
Look Mom, I used up those leeks! Last week I made a dinner that needed only one leek and when I called my mom from the grocery store to ask her what a leek was, she told me I should try to find a way to use up the rest of the package of leeks. I love how she never misses an opportunity to help me. So, this week I found a recipe for potato and leek soup; I bought myself an immersion blender and whipped it up the other night for dinner. I love it for several reasons. First, it tastes great; second, it's pretty low-cal and healthy; third, its pretty darn cheap; fourth, it was super easy and quick to prepare; fifth, it lasts in the fridge and so is an easy weeknight dinner for multiple nights. I used the recipe at http://www.davidlebovitz.com.
