- I have been really good this week. Before I went grocery shopping on Sunday I went through my cookbooks and recipes to pick out a few things to make this week. I haven't done that in a long time. To top it off, I'm actually making them. Something always gets in the way normally, a late meeting, a happy hour drink, a free concert. These somethings always cause me to get home later and wanting to spend zero time cooking and reaching for the Trader Joe's Pot Stickers. I am out of pot stickers so I had to find some easy and quick recipes to replace them.
- Real Simple is pretty awesome at doing that, except they always seem to require some ingredient that I don't have and won't have much need for after one recipe. This recipe for Cheese Ravioli with Toasted Walnuts requires all staples (at least in my kitchen) although I did change up the cheese because, for once, I didn't have Parmesan on hand. It was really good and quick to make. Perfect for after a long meeting.
