I'm Coming back, I promise

January 31, 2012 by Monica

To say that posting has been on “HOLD” is to put it midly. I’ve been consumed with work, wedding planning (we got the Date! the Venue! The Photographer! and hopefully the wedding planner) - because I finally realized that as much as I want to have superpowers and do it all - it’s just not going to happen and I need help!

I promise I will be back later this week, I got two posts in the works and the Gutsy Menus for February is up!

Baby steps people, baby steps.

Thanks for sticking around thru the CRAZINESS.

Snap Thursday - Mac & Cheese Love

This was taken a while ago when Tom and I attended the local Food Truck Rally here in Tampa. I could not help myself not taking a picture of this.

Tells you how powerful images are instead of words.

GCC: Sweet & Sour Rice Salad

January 16, 2012 by Monica in Cooking Club, Gutsy Cooks Club, Rice, Salad

One of the main reasons I started Gutsy Cooks was to push myself when it came to trying new things in the kitchen. Often time, we get comfortable with our favorite dishes and tend to make them over and over again, losing the opportunities to try new flavors, ingredients, and techniques.

The whole point of calling the cooking club Gutsy was to remind myself, and those that participate every week with me to be fearless in the kitchen. That is how good cooks are born.

It may be a total bust and you may not like it, but – you.tried.it. You were Gutsy. And then there are those times when something you have never thought would work becomes your new favorite thing.

This salad is my new favorite thing.
