Ruth's Ramblings

Waning Creativity

Tonight I cooked dinner for the first time this week. I've been noticing that ever since I picked up knitting, my interest and enthusiasm for cooking as decreased significantly, and it's almost starting to become a (gasp!) chore... yikes!

Last week I cooked once too - braised beef short ribs. Today I got my butt into gear again (with the help of the latest copy of Everday Food). This is what I made:

Mushroom & Cheese Tortellini
Green Salad w/ tomatoes, craisins, walnuts and vinaigrette
Tortilla Chicken Soup (I cheated with the soup - I just bought it as is from the supermarket)

Time to get back into my cooking! I have a couple dishes lined up for the summer...
