Food!!!

I decided that I am going to blog about food. I like to cook and I have taught several cooking classes. There are many foods that I like. I actually happen to be watching a cooking show right now. Currently, in the foods class that I am teaching, we are learning about grains. We had a great guest speaker from a local culinary school here come in and entertain the kids with all sorts of grains and stories! He inspired me to get back to eating healthier. I was really turned on to a variety of grains a couple years ago because of recipes my mom came across and cooked for us. Ever heard of bulgur, quinoa, couscous, wheat germ,?? How about risotto? Oh, how I love risotto (Italian rice)....speaking of risotto, my mom is supposed to send me a recipe that included butternut squash in the risotto recipe. I recently bought a butternut squash at the store not quite sure what I wanted to do with it yet; might make soup. Don't know yet, but I will blog about it when I do. Tonight's meal: penne pasta with yellow bell peppers, mushrooms, and a cheesy cream sauce with garlic toast (homemade, of course). Bon Appetite! Let me know your favorites!
