Saurerkraut: That's An Aquired Taste

Hello Again!

This school year I have made it a point to try something new. First, I streaked my hair blue this summer (that was so much fun!) Second, I going 100% Authentic this semester (with the exception of special occasions). This means, no make up, and a wash and wear hair style. Third is what I am cooking in my kitchen now a days. I am going to try cooking some Indian dishes; which I am really excited about. Along with that, I will be making smarter eating choices; nothing too drastic but something like substituting a burger for a chicken sandwich or a turkey burger, substituting lots of lunch meat for a chicken spinach salad and soup, not so many pastas...(well we'll have to see. I'll have to ween myself off of starches LOL) No junk foods, no late night snacks, more veggies, and a lot of water.  I preface all of that to say that along with the other choices that I am making for the year, I want to expand my pallet. I have never liked the smell of sauerkraut, or the look of it for that matter, but this afternoon for a late lunch I had a toasted turkey club with roasted red peppers and spinach with a side of sauerkraut and kielbasa soup (sauerkraut, potatoes, tomatoes, onions, and kielbasa in chicken broth) and it was better than I had anticipated it to be. I don't think that I'll be cooking with it a lot, but I may experiment in my kitchen with it and see what I come up with.

Oh yeah here's some other news I am planning on making my fried rice for dinner tonight. I have got to get these ingredients out of my mini microfridge! I'm cooking for a group of maybe 7-10 in my good friend Janay's apartment kitchen. I always refer to her as my Twin because we are a like in a lot of ways.

Shout out to all 10 of my followers! I hope that you all have tried at least one of the recipes, and if not please do so. I would love to hear from you about what you think of the dishes that I've posted.
