Weekend Bliss

It was a good weekend here in Arizona.  I hate to focus my writing around food, but let's be honest, I don't hate it at all! While I enjoyed zumba, swimming, church, friends, I also reveled in some time in the kitchen and listening to some wonderful music while I cooked. 
Here are some of the delicious things I tasted this weekend:
1.  Homemade popcorn with melted butter and salt.  DIVINE.  (so easy... so good!) I had it for dinner one evening.  Livin' life!
2.  Good old fashioned strawberry jello blended in with whipped cream.  I couldn't get over how delicious it tasted.  Very good!
3.  Mashed potatoes- used up some Idaho potatoes and mashed them up with milk and butter.   Delicious.  What's better? I confess to feeling extremely heavy afterwards, though, and vowing to eat more fruit.  Still, one has to enjoy mashed potatoes every once in awhile.  It warms the soul.  It makes you feel GOOD!
4.  I made my chicken artichoke pasta dish with wine sauce.  It is heavenly tasting, and I put three containers away for lunches this week.  It will be nice to take something delicious to work!
5.  I've been eating up the rest of my homemade granola (love the coconut especially).  It's almost gone, but it proved to be the perfect after zumba snack. 
So I'm food obsessed.  What can I say? I looked through a cookbook this afternoon and see that there are so many things I don't know how to cook, so many recipes I want to try, and I suppose little by little I'll keep trying new recipes and remembering the ones I love.
