My Attempt at Cooking!

Brian has been a fabulous house-husband, cooking most of our meals and keeping things clean around the house. From time to time, I like to give him a break and try my hand at some Spanish recipes. This is a picture of our lunch one day. I made a tortilla española, which is basically a Spanish omelet with potatoes, eggs, and onions. The other main dish that I made was stuffed zucchini with ham, tomatoes, and onions then topped with cheese. We also had a white bean salad with red peppers, tomatoes, and onions with an olive oil and vinegar dressing. Then, of course, we had to have fresh cut bread and a flan for dessert.

There is an expression in Spanish which says, “Barriga llena, corazón contento,” which means “Full belly, happy heart.” Mealtime here always brings that old saying to mind!
