whew, it’s been a whirlwind week for us – first with a trip to chicago to say goodbye to my sister and noah before they leave for amsterdam, and then our two close friends visited us in seattle. before i get back to the regularly scheduled job search, though, i wanted to take a moment and share this fun recipe with you.
i bought some tortilla chips a few weeks ago that were on sale. it was a mistake. the chips weren’t very salty and they weren’t very crunchy. so what’s a woman to do with sub-par tortilla chips? make tortilla soup!
do you ever read something and think about it for years afterwards? almost four years ago, smitten kitchen wrote about her relationship with leafy greens. she talked about how she always thought she’d grow up to be the kind of person who loved them. but she isn’t. and that blog post stuck with me. because i’m a healthy cook and eater (despite my love for baked goods). and i always want to like leafy greens.
since we’ve been back in california, i’ve made dozens and dozens of delicious cookies! but i didn’t get it together to take pics of all of them. so i’m sharing just three cookie recipes (even though lots of the pics were taken with the iPhone, and thus a little blurry): chocolate raspberry tarts, nutella cookies, and soft ginger cookies.
whew, i made it through fall quarter! after writing and writing and writing some more, i’ve finally turned in all of my papers. yay!
