Welcome to Kitchen Kat!

I love writing. I love food. Those are two interests that have stayed constant throughout my life. So why not combine the two? Perfect! Trying out different food is like almost like traveling; you get to experience different smells, tastes, and atmospheres. It brings a bit of the culture to you, even if you didn't leave your home. This blog explores Portland restaurants (plus any notable ones I encounter on vacation), recipes that worked out exceptionally for me, plus any other epicurean delights that come my way. Put any reservations aside, now it's time to chow down on some food for thought....

Felt Good Enough to Cook

Whoa! I haven't posted in a looooong time.
Last weekend, I bought ingredients for this very simple, but healthy and delicious dish, but have been too sick all week to make it. I don't mean *sniffle* *delicate cough* sick. I mean phlegmy, hacking cough, 101 degree fever sick. NOT FUN.
But today I feel BETTER. YAY! So I made this recipe I got from the Whole Foods Market Flavors Newsletter: GREENS WITH CARROTS, FETA CHEESE AND BROWN RICE, and it was a definitely a success. I was afraid it might be too plain, but it wasn't at all. Look at all that color! I could feel the nutrients seeping into me as I ate.
I used a combination of broccoli rabe and kale in mine and made two slight alterations to the recipe: I sauteed the onions in olive oil first before adding the rest of the vegetables, and used truffle-infused sea salt instead of plain sea salt. That's it! Try it.
