Cute Gwyneth...who knew she could cook! |
I also like to read Gwyneth Paltrow's blog called GOOP. She spends a lot of time on her blog and she is a really good writer. I appreciate all the different ideas she shares, from travel, to cooking, to eating right and exercising. On the GOOP website I found an interview Gwyneth did with Jamie Oliver the Food Revolution guy. He is a very good cook. He has some wonderful recipes with lots of ingredients (unfortunately) but very short prep time that I have fun trying. He gives 4 yummy salad dressing recipes that sound really mouth watering and I'm trying them. The link is HERE for Jamie's salad dressing recipes.
Here's another salad I love, Tai Chicken salad. Yummy! It tastes like something from Pei Wei.. it's got those yummy noodles. It's from Martha Stewart's website. Find the link HERE
I liked Gwyneth's blog when she talks about how she got in shape to do the IRONMAN movie playing Pepper Potts. I LOVED that movie, both 1 and 2. I love Robert Downey Jr., too of course. He's such a dollface!
Well, this tortuous routine made it clear why she looks as svelte as she does in that movie and how she could wear all those tight skirts and tops and look so terrific after a couple of kids. It looks arduous to say the least. Link is HERE
greek artichoke salad...yummy |
I even have a kiddie rug of a city and a basket full of little Hot Wheels cars and they have a boatload of fun with that. Amazingly, the bin full of dinosaurs is always used by girls and boys alike. They just act out stories and adventures with them. It is really fun to watch them actually. You forget how fun it was to be a kid. So anyways on days like this, you want to come home and make some hot, comfort food like soup and salads.
I'm kind of on a kick lately though. My alltime favorite recipe for fish is one I make at least three times a month. It is pecan crusted Salmon with a mustard honey sauce and a crunchy topping with breadcrumbs and crushed pecans. I make it just with a leftover heal of bread diced up. Here is a recipe. HERE is Baked Dijon Salmon. The secret to fish is getting it in a hot oven for a short period of time, but with the crust it is trickier because you don't want to blacken the crust, just golden brown it. So I bake it for 4 minutes and then broil it for 3 minutes, and that usually does the trick, high oven, like 400 but I put it on the middle rack.
roasted veggies...yummy too! |
Try not to freeze your #%@ off this week! Go make something hot and yummy. Mmmmmm. Cooking is one of life's simplest pleasures.
