Sunday Supper

Sunday was ushered in with grey and rain and general yuck.

After a jam-packed, warm weather weekend, I was ready to cozy in for the day.

 I hadn't cracked open a cookbook in way too long,

and I think baking and cooking for yourself can be such a simple and self-indulgent pleasure.

It was a perfect grey Sunday to experiment in the kitchen.

I didn't have bold ambitions- I selected Ina Garten's recipe for chicken piccata-

but the lemony-buttery dish was oh-so-pleasing to my palate.

There is truth to the statement that food tastes

better when you knowthe steps it took to make it.

I feel a sense of accomplishment when I follow a recipe and then sit down to enjoy it.

I bought a beautiful deep purple eggplant and some cute little brussels sprouts too...

 I'll have to get creative with those beauties tonight!
