I Like Food

I like food, I like cooking, I like trying new things. I've blogged about this before.

So, once again I sit down with my notebook of clipped recipies and try to decide what to put on next week's menu. I've been collecting recipies for years, and have a lot of them I have never tried. What shall I go with this time?

Baked pasta with spinach and sausage -- shell pasta with spinach and hot italian sausage in a cheese-heavy alfredo-like sauce

Sausage Ragout - smoked sausage in a sort of Italian stew - Italian green beans, cannellini beans, tomatoes, bell pepper (red and green) and italian spices

Crab and Avocado enchiladas - you cook some of the avocado into the enchiladas

Crab and Asparagus Bread Pudding - what it sounds like - (sounds yummy!)

Those are the four dishes I have never fixed that I am debating. As I think, the bread pudding and the ragout may just be a little too heavy. (I know, I know, Alfedo sauce isn't?) It's still warm out, and I may want to go for dishes that seem less wintery.

I refuse to limit myself only to things I know how to cook. After all, where's the excitement in that?

If it sounded good enough to cut out of a paper or magazine years and years ago, it should still be good enough to cook and eat today.
