This dish was no biggie, but what a breakthrough to realize I can make my own breadcrumbs from the stale bread at the end of my loaf.
By the way, I don't know if I'm going to keep posting about my cooking. I'm too green and it's embarrassing.

gratin... fancy word, easy grub
My cooking isn't day to day. Since I'm only cooking for one, I have to eat the leftovers the next day or use up whatever else is there. What I am learning is that there is a way to make simple dishes tasty. So today I made an asparagus gratin. What that means is you food process some bread for crumbs, boil asparagus, cover with cheese and the crumblies and broil it! Add some parsley, olive oil and it's super yummy. I felt like this is actually something I could serve as a side dish. I ate it as my main dish with some coco rice.

Hi Chels! That dish sounds impressive! I wish I could have tasted it. Your explanation of an asparagus gratin was great. I didn't really know what a "gratin" was. Miss you and love you!
ReplyDeleteHaha, hi mom! You found me. :)
ReplyDeleteYep!
ReplyDeleteChelsea! You must keep posting about food. Being green is one of the good parts about the posts...makes them funny. I had a great time writing about my valentines cooking disaster. Besides, whether you are new to the game or not, it gives the rest of us good ideas. Your gratin sounds great!
