After a rewarding but exhausting weekend with friends, I don’t have much to say today. While my knee is healing and doing much better, another chronic health issue has flared up in its stead. When I’m not visiting physical therapists, specialists, or getting lab tests lately, I’m just working on recipes as much as possible. In addition to testing out cookbooks, I’ve been working on perfecting some of my own everyday recipes, like this Spicy Shrimp Udon. It’s as delicious as it looks, promise.
I love that I can spend my time with food everyday, but I will say it was nice to get away this weekend and decompress a bit. The weather has been fabulous and it was great being outdoors. I have a tendency to put a lot of pressure on myself, and I’m a bit of a perfectionist. Coupled with health issues, it can be a bit overwhelming. Not having access to my computer and my kitchen allowed me to reset and refocus. Now I feel totally ready to get back to work (both on my health and the blog) and create some fantastic recipes to share with you over the next couple of weeks. Thank you for being along for the ride.
