I am taking some time this morning to check in on some of my favorite bloggers. Sadly, I am reminded that Orangette really did mean it when she said she needed some time away from her site. Luckily, the moment was saved by Tara Parker-Pope’s New York Times Health Blog post from June 24. How did I miss this one? Ah yes, I was at the beach indulging myself in abalone, shrimp and fresh apricot pie…
Anyway, this post shares Mark Bittman’s 10-ingredient shopping list and recipes for an easy week’s worth of dinners at home. It assumes a fairly well-stocked pantry, so update the shopping list based on the recipes and what you’ve got on hand.
Despite this menu’s possible shortcomings (as noted in reader’s comments), resources like this serve as a rich source of ideas, inspiration and planning support. They can make healthy cooking at home a lot easier. I have added a blogroll of sites that I consider my favorites. When time permits, I peruse them for ideas and inspiration. Try making it part of your daily or weekly routine. After all, cooking is not a spectator sport.
