Cooking Again!

I am a serious home lover.  I'm back to cooking in my new place, setting up a kitchen from great thrift store finds across the street.  I still lack an awesome kitchen table (I'm waiting...) so I've been using my desk for now.  I've found amazing things- Japanese dinner plates, a wooden bowl, blue glass dishes... There's nothing more relaxing and soothing to me than puttering away in the kitchen, nourishing myself and or others, listening to music, and creating new things. 
Last night the first meal in my new apartment.... Mushroom and Leek Quiche with goat cheese...
It was delicious, and it's a wonderful thing to have for left overs. 

 

This morning I made a refreshing black bean salad filled with veggies, apple, almonds, lemon, olive oil.  Oh my goodness- it's more satisfying than I dreamed.  It's very healthy, crisp, and light feeling. 

 

 

 

 

It feels good to be making such healthy meals, doing zumba again, drinking water, and doing some self- care this month.  As I have made the change into a new apartment, I have thought about how my life style reflects so much of who I am and where I am going with my life, so I'm working to be organized, healthy, simple, creative, spiritual, and at peace. 

May we all have sanctuaries that fill our hearts with such nourishment.
