Why hello!! (if you aren't already wise to the genius of Hannah Hart, I beg of you, check out her videos/web site- hartoandco.com, she is the genius behind my drunk kitchen)
It's strange for me to write this post to a group of people who essentially are strangers, but I feel like I know at least fairly well. I have heard so many stories about you all, and I realize that we, in fact, have never actually hung out. Which saddens me, but also gives me the opportunity to fool you all into thinking that I'm a person who has her sh*t together and has a social life (however, I feel like that cover is blown when you realize that the time stamp for me writing this is on a Friday night....).
Because you all don't actually know me, I will fill you in on a couple things about me (I promise, this will be related to cooking eventually). First of all, I am type-A microbiology nerd who makes lists in her sleep and isn't happy unless she has a million things going on. However, I am loosey-goosey in the kitchen, singing and dancing areas. This may be because my mother had some sort of aversion to recipes (trying to remake anything she made is maddening....) but I rarely plan ahead for meals and often is too lazy/cheap to buy specific ingredients.
ONTO the cooking!! So in my fridge there was tomatoes, asparagus and a can of artichoke hearts in the cabinet. Because my oven currently has some sort of resin on the bottom of it and every time I turn it on the apartment fills with smoke, and my neighbors call the fire department because they think the building is burning down (yeah...that was embarrassing) I decided that roasting the vegetables was not an option, although that is my favorite method for cooking asparagus. Instead I decided to throw everything into a sautee pan with some olive oil and garlic, and let them cook slowly (allowing me to simultaneously watch modern family, #win).
As the asparagus got nice and roasted and the tomatoes started to burst open, I added the artichokes and heated everything through. Last minute decision to add a tablespoon of pesto to the whole she-bang, and then topped with some fresh mozzarella. Delicious, easy peasy and lots of leftovers for lunches later in the week!
Bon appetit (a la Julia Child) my fellow bloggers! Hope your weekends are far more socially exciting than mine's starting off to be!
(ooh look at me with all my hipster instagram pictures)
