Calming

I forgot to take a pic of the banana smoothie described below -- I drank it too quickly! But I do have a pic of this petite and delicious lotus flower cookie that I reviewed for a magazine. In any case... 

I've been making this banana smoothie for a few weeks now: Banana, ice, full glass water, half glass almond milk, chia and flax seeds about tsp each, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric (more on tumeric soon!), coconut flakes and for the best part -- a healthy coating of cinnamon. Sometimes i'll add a few blueberries for the antioxidants or strawberries and ginger. This one is so satisfying and fills me up if i'm hungry but not hungry enough for a full meal. The color is so soothing too -- it's a go to as of late to satisfy a craving. Very nurturing drink :)

This is a blog by a new cook. A late bloomer, I am finally learning the joy of cooking. After months of sending pics to friends of my latest concoctions (some successful, some not so much!) and describing in detail my excitement over a new ingredient or technique, a friend suggested starting a blog. So here it is. Purely for fun, and hopefully fun to read. This blog will host my latest cooking adventures  —"Chef" Donna

Cookbooks are a go-to for inspiration. I can stare at them for hours, soaking in the recipes, as well as the history and culture, the beautiful images and intricate design. I write biographical books for a living, and cookbooks (even when I wasn’t cooking) have always been a favorite to read. I'll be posting a new cookbook each month, starting with a few from my mother's cooking library.
