Genesis of this blog

Today is one of those days when I need an outlet; a conduit for expression to liberate this energy. 
So I create this blog to share. To share what has begun to bring me great joy, pleasure, and relaxation. Cooking is starting to become my therapy and my hobby. I want to share my adventures in the kitchen with you. Here are some pictures of what I've been cooking recently.

Here is my version: Ingredients   Skinless, boneless chicken breasts Cooking spray Oregano Cumin Cloves Garlic Preparation Combine all spices in a dish,  spray chicken with cooking spray to cover it with the herb mixture and let is sit for about 30 min.

To balance a full course load - including her first real trial  - with a part-time job or to enjoy cooking and blogging. Clearly, I opted for the former.   Luckily, as all in life, that too, was temporary and here I am thinking of you as I explore vegetarian cooking.  This recipe was originally posted by Martha Rose Shulman in The New York Times about a year ago.
