Healthy Home Cooking

Eating on The Run! (edit/delete)

I love to eat out.
I love to see a creative chef take a common food item and create something that I would never think of doing.
You guessed it, I have really high standards and am very frequently disappointed in the restaraunt experience.  My husband gets a little annoyed with me because if the meal is mediocre, I am not going back to that restaurant again.
Here in Fairfield County, CT food is not cheap.  Plus you never know what the ingredients in your meal are but I will forgo that to be wowed.
Sono has some great restaurants and we just found one recently that was spectacular.  I had wild salmon in a finely julienne veggie nest with pea tentacles on top.  It was delicious and absolutely gorgeous.  My husband had trout on a bed of wild mushrooms and sprouts with the most awesome sauce.  I kept hoping he would look away so I could grab some of his food.  The ingredients were organic and wild and unbelievable.  The dinner was well over $100 and worth every penny.  I walked away happy.
That rarely happens - so I cook almost all of our meals,  this way I am insured that it is done the way we like it, the ingredients are organic and when we are able, in season and local.  There are other advantages with home-cooking that are unseen but always felt.  It is the love that is infused in every dish.  If you love to nurture your family, cook for them.  It is the best way that I know to show that you care.  My husband points out that if the cook is angry at you or can't cook then the opposite may be true.  Leave it to him!
So get those cookbooks out or open that frig and start creating.  And hopefully you are as lucky as I that you have a bountiful number of restaraunts around your home so when you do want to eat out, you can find a few that make delicious, nutritious meals that make that lofty price tag all worth it!
