So last Wednesday I made Zucchini soup. I’ve always been a meat and potatoes guy. Well, not the potatoes. But you get the gist. The idea of zucchini soup sounded revolting to me. But I’ve gotten hooked on epicurious.com’s “Dinner Rush”. Go to www.epicurious.com, then hover over “Articles and Guides”, and click on “Everyday Cooking”. They have a weekly planner for every week with 5 meals.

Even though some of those meals don’t appeal to me at all, I go with them anyway. It’s definitely made our eating much more varied and nutritious. At worst the recipies aren’t that exciting, and we’ve been suprised by how often they were really, really good, and introduced us to things we would never order at a restaurant.

And that is how I came to be eating zucchini soup last Wednsday. Stella and I were shocked. We really liked it.

I wish I had your adventurous spirit with food. Not me man. I mean, I’d try the soup if I got paid for it, but make it on purpose just because? Never in a million years.

I don’t know if I’m that adventurous. I mainly made it because I’m a mixture of bored and lazy. Too bored to keep making the same thing week after week, and too lazy to come up with something new. Hence making things I would never make otherwise. Let me tell you, Julie is often not so excited about this adventuring.

We’re in a very deep rut and I’m way too lazy to come up with new things. I like this idea—it will help for the beginning of school when all I want to do is eat something that magically appears. I’m totally going to try this.

I’m late to this post but love that link. I think I will share with Marsha so she and I can try a bunch of new things when my show ends and I’m home again. I love new foodstuffs! Even if they sometimes turn out less than inspiring.
