2014 Starts With A Whimper

This is not a great start to 2014. No recipe this week, guys – I was in recovery mode all last week.

My week was spent getting over the cold family brought me for Christmas and recovering from the massive quantity of decadent food I ingested during the week prior. I loved having the chance to share my favorite things in my city with two separate waves of family groups, but damn did it do a number on my digestive system.

Monday’s green smoothie made me so happy I had to do a little dance.

So, this week was spent eating rather simply where possible. We still did a New Year’s Eve dumpling feast (ish. Forgot to buy wonton wrappers and ricotta, so instead of my three favorite dumplings, we had two versions of meatball), but had simpler fare the other nights. Pork chops with broiled broccoli is tasty, but not exactly recipe posting worthy.

Next week I’ll be trying out recipes from the Nom Nom Paleo book, and hope to create a veggie-loaded chili exciting enough to share.

I hope you all had a great first week of 2014 – and I’ll be back next weekend with a recipe to share. Hopefully.
