Food Journal- What I cooked for home and work in January and February

FEBRUARY

                                                                      
Finally, a somewhat warmer weather has arrived although it rains every day. Since I work until 5 or 6 p.m., I do not always have time or will to do grocery shopping after I leave my office. So today, I thought it was a perfect weather to go to the market and stock up on things I need. And, of course, I ended up with full cart of EVERYTHING. Yummy, yummy though- so that's my excuse. Fortunately, some items are dry or can be frozen, so do not have to worry about eating it all within a few days! 

                  My cart: I can never be trusted to go to the market for just ONE thing! 



In the cold and rainy weather, one needs a warming soup.


The soup after adding all ingredients. Looking colorful and interesting! 


I have always been drawn to dishes that are colorful and have multiple ingredients, so when you eat, it is like a little treasure hunt and each bite can have a different taste and texture. 


 And finally, I also made a apple-cherry pie. I do not use any sugar, it is sweet from fruit, and only with flour, eggs and butter. Delicious and natural ingredients do not make me sneeze! I have notice that when I eat outside of home at the restaurants or prepacked meals, I often start sneezing from allergy to chemicals that are added to mass-produced food! When to think about it, it is actually scary what may be in our food if you are not careful and do not read labels! 

I suppose that with all this cooking done already, I will have a day off tomorrow and just spend the whole day lazily. :)
