Thank you to JD Gourmet!


Throughout my journey creating Capital Cooking, I've had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people including Dee from JD Gourmet. Dee's two sons started a business selling the most amazing olive oils and vinegar. We had a great time together at the Metropolitan Cooking and Entertaining Show. Not only do they sell delicious products, but Dee also does embroidery. She was sweet enough to make me Capital Cooking bags and aprons. Thank you Dee!

New Years Resolution


The ball dropped and now it is time to set goals for our new year. For 2009, I'm going to work on cooking and eating foods to help lower my cholesterol. I wouldn't have thought that my cholesterol would be at such high levels when I'm only in my 20s and consider myself healthy for the most part. I love butter, but it is time to start reducing my intake. It is time for more fresh fruits and vegetables. I'm also going to try to feature low cholesterol recipes. Do you have any ideas?
