Over the weekend, I was finally able to read the latest issue of Body + Soul, by far my favorite magazine. This month features a collection of “25 Fast & Healthy Recipes” that are pared down to their basic ingredients & simplest instructions – basically, exactly what I want in a recipe. I never bother trying to make anything with a long list of odd ingredients I don’t have or several paragraphs of instruction. You shouldn’t need to work so hard to get delicious food, & as this lovely feature shows, you don’t have to!

Yesterday, I was busy with personal issues (I do detest that we are a nation dependent on automobiles), & was therefore unable to write, & so in lieu of the usual Monday cooking feature, enjoy this. I’m going to try nearly every recipe!
