Recipes to follow

About four months ago, I started writing recipes for this little local up in coming magazine. I went to enormous lengths to produce the best photographs possible: spending $50 on one meal at Whole Foods to get the prettiest food possible, tricking the viewer into thinking my kitchen was clean, and scolding my kids to smile (until, of course, they weren't smiling, but fighting back tears [I said sorry afterwards-- a lot. I promise!!]). Turns out, the owner of the magazine liked her own work much better than mine (actually, I like to think she was jealous), and I would get either pushed to the last page with some unreadable fine print, or just bumped altogether. Needless to say, I did not stay with the magazine. But, I think the things I submitted were not too bad for an amateur, so I am going to start posting them here. And anything else I come up with.
