Happy Birthday Chef Laura!
Oh yes, and Chef Laura had birthday over the weekend with Princess Cake (genoise, custard, jam, meringue and marzipan)!

Frozen Fish and Flowers
Been doing some interesting cooking lately, what with the tomatoes in our garden in full harvest -we're getting about a quart of tomatoes a day now, and full sized zucchini and squash every few days. I've also started ordering from Farm Fresh to You in hopes of becoming a healthier eater now that I'm actually obliged to cook for three.
I've been on a 3 week cooking rampage - Cook through the weekend that I get my delivery, then wait 3 weeks before cooking again. It's been working out with me freezing a stash of food, so that all we have to is heat it up for a quick and nutritious meal. Maybe I'll start a series called 'Eating well for the busy mom' or something; although I'm still not done with my 101 pasta series!
Jumping on the frozen food bandwagon, I decided J would benefit from eating organic, and unprocessed food. I just couldn't stand the thought of him chowing down that jarred stuff - I don't care if it costs $15 an oz. It can't be that good for you if it is stored in a jar on a shelf!
I wanted to see if he could be a raw vegan for the first year of his life, but as I conjured up recipes in my head, it just became so tiring. Besides, how would he ever get enough carbs that way?
So, I instead put out my IQF skills, and for his first home cooked meal, whipped up brown rice porridge and steamed green beans. Everything ended up being processed eventually but I can live with it if I'm doing it myself.
I also froze everything in cute little shaped ice trays - so now we have green bean fish and starfish and flower snapped brown rice porridge. I figure it might help him make eating veggies and rice fun, although he might be too young to tell the difference yet.
We'll see how he likes it, he gets to try some tomorrow!
