Much as I love cooking, there are weeks where I am much less inspired than others. This week's general lack of inspiration stems from the fact that I haven't been to the Farmer's Market (which usually gives me a lot of ideas) and because I am trying to cull my freezer of items that have been in there for perhaps a tad longer than they should have...That said, the recipes that I have chosen to share are quite delicious so no worries there! And this week marks the start of bonus holiday recipes so that will hopefully inspire us all to put the fun back in cooking in the weeks to come.
