back to the kitchen

The last month and a half were very hectic with work so I didn't spend much time cooking at all.  Unless you consider pasta, which I don't.  I was cooking the noodles and dumping bought sauce on top.  No, I do not consider that cooking.  I don't even really like pasta, but it's easy and cheap.  I had several dinners of cereal.  My eating was just plain.


I'd either come home so late I just wanted to eat immediately or I'd come home so tired I didn't want to spend any time cooking.


I did make spinach and chickpeas sort-of by the recipe during that time.  And then used leftover ingredients to turn it around and make it in an Indian style:  Chana Masala.  Pretty sure I didn't use this recipe.  I looked at lots of different recipes before picking one, they all had minor tweaks. I picked one with lots of spinach.  I'm not sure which one I decided on anymore so... it was similar to that one.


Today I was so excited to get back in the kitchen though!


I've been wanting to make this recipe of Poached Eggs in Tomato Sauce with Chickpeas and Feta for a few weeks.  The ingredients were very inexpensive and it turned out quite delicious.

reminder:  I don't especially care what my food looks like.  And I never seem to take pictures before eating it.

It was easy to make.  I strayed from the recipe a little bit.  More jalapeños, less eggs.  Warning:  when crushing the tomatoes, beware of squirting juices.


I only had one small issue.

I got a tiny burn.  Woops.  

I'm loving this article about ways to cook Spinach and can't wait to try a bunch of them!
