I am not beating myself up about it. I really needed some time off to just be myself and not worry about anything. And I keep telling myself that this project wasn't about forcing myself. So it's all good.
But I did cook. And it was pretty good. I am pleased that I can get through cooking the meals without wanting to throw the pots and pans through the window. I did have a small meltdown when the recipe called for butternut squash and the store didn't have any. But with some gentle whispers from the husband, and a few suggestions on things to exchange it for, I was ok.
For starter I made a soup of roasted Jerusalem artichoke and apple with chili and thyme. It was served with a onion and chevre tart.

The soup was a tad bit too hot, but otherwise it was delicious. And that little tart with the chevre? Delish!
The main course was cheese tortellini with a cream sauce with sugar snap peas and pancetta. This was really great. And so easy to cook. What a shame I completely messed up the photo taking.

The dessert was a monster to make. It took me two hours early Saturday morning, but I figure it was worth it. I made homemade Nutella pudding. Yum-oh!

And that's it for last week, folks. Now, I have to figure out something fun for this week before it's all over, LOL!
