This week I'm focusing on three good things.
#1 - I got a lovely email from Katie Drexler sharing this beautiful dish.
Katie said she had some purple Brussels sprouts and some kale so she threw them in a frying pan together with butter (lots of butter).
Doesn't that look fabulous?
#2 - Katie's obviously a much better food photographer than I am. I thought I had a lovely photo of this lentil dish, but then it blurred.
You'll have to take my word for it that it was delicious.
I've been continuing my coconut streak - more about that next week - so when I was making this lentil dish, I decided to add some coconut on top. It was perfect.
I cooked the heirloom lentils with garam masala, served it with rice, and sprinkled the coconut on top.
Do you ever go on a binge with one ingredient?
#3 - For Mother's Day, my daughters sent me a lovely gift box from one of my favorite bakeries - Bread and Roses Bakery in Ogunquit, Maine. I have such lovely memories of stopping there with my husband for coffee and a treat before we walked along the beach.
The one that is labeled cinnamon puff - well that is pure decadence. It's a plain muffin dipped in butter and rolled in cinnamon sugar. Oh my stars!
That's the one in the photo. I enjoyed it with a cup of coffee (they also sent the bakery's coffee) and a webcam view of the beach.
