Oh hey, it’s been like forever since I posted a recipe. Ya know that whole, having a baby is a chaotic life adjustment thing? Well yeah, it’s true. It’s awesome and raw and incredibly humbling and rewarding all at the same time and I’m loving it up. But it’s been hard to get back in the kitchen because babies and stoves and sharp knives are a little bit taboo, and nap times are usually reserved for 20 minute workouts, and a 5 second shower. So when I do have time to cook, it’s usually not cooking per se, but more of a cold salad or sandwich that can’t be burnt on the stove when you forget about it while upstairs changing a diaper.
I’ve decided the only way to get back into it is to keep recipes super simple, quick, and healthy, so stay tuned, and hopefully it won’t be another 5 months until then. Eek!
I had this recipe tested and perfected back in April, a month before my baby arrived when I was still eating potatoes left and right. And guess what hasn’t changed with having a baby?! Yup, still loving potatoes, hard. This is just about everything you need for the upcoming fall and winter. Bright lemon, fresh garlic, savoury herby-ness and warmth…yes please. Fall, I feel ya coming and I’m pretty stoked. (Seriously, I freaking love fall).
Anyways, I know this will be delish after all those summer salads you’ve been eating! (Yay, fresh healthy food!) But maybe that’s why fall is so great? All of the sudden warm soups and stews, and um, Greek Style Roasted Potatoes, are warming your soul. The change is just as welcome as those healthy salads are at the end of winter. By the way, anyone in Canada sorta feel like we have 2 seasons? Soups and stews vs. salad and fruit? Hm…. both are great, I just wish a certain one didn’t last soo…. long. đ
