Tonights dinner

so tonight for dinner i made chicken drumsticks and a salad, the drumsticks, i sprinkled liberally with salt, pepper and some chicken seasoning and browned each side for about 10 min on ever side then i melted some butter over the top of them and added some brown sugar and cooked for another 10 min.  the salad was lettuce, canned chopped tomatoes, olives and a creamy honey mustard dressing. it was really good.  i would have taken a picture but it wasnt the best presentation so i figured i could cook it again.  ;)  took a walk with mom today and did some yoga, which was nice.  well gonna enjoy some chocolate milk and then probably go lay down           :)

A little about me and food

as many of you know, my name is Katie I live in ca. and my passion is cooking, simply because i believe it is the best thing to make someone happy or keep them happy.  I started cooking when i was younger(about14) i started with the easy stuff potatoes, omelets, pasta and rice, and as i became older i started thinking of new things to put into each dish.  i have cooked many things that haven't always worked out but i think everybody has made a bad judgement call when it comes to food. such as adding pepper to homemade ciabatta bread, or an extra garlic clove in some  pasta, things like that.  I don't eat processed foods at all any more, and when i do i regret it every time, my weakness however is soda, but i don't drink regular soda, i don't eat oily foods.  I make these food decisions because when i was younger, at the end of the month we could not  get the stuff we got at the beginning such as TV dinners or cookies and stuff like that, and i noticed i would have more energy and i would always lose a couple of pounds so now i eat fresh organic items and as much vegetables and fruits as possible, if im craving ice cream i make a creamy granita which is water mixed with a little bit of sugar, some lemon, or coffee and blended with cream cheese, i am infatuated with salads, and soups, and seafood but i also eat chicken or turkey and on occasion some beef. i like wraps as well.
