Where do my our ideas come from? Often, I do not know. Cooking for me, and for many, is a spiritual, intuitive process. These ideas come to me at night, in the morning, when I pray. They just come to me. Now this recipe is not to complicated or earth shattering. The important point here is that all of us can find our joy. I find mine through my cooking. The ideas just flow to me all the time. I think that is truly what being connected to a higher power is. It is getting your physical self out of the way and letting the information/energy flow. Now this is only a Sun-dried tomato dip. But the concept applies regardless of the depth or complexity of the recipe.
Ingredients (adapted from Ina Garten):
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped
8 ounces low-fat cream cheese (1 bar), at room temperature
1 cup fat-free plain Greek Yogurt
10 dashes tabasco sauce
1 tsp kosher salt
3/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
crostinis for serving
Finely chop the sun-dried tomatoes. In a bowl, combine the sun-dried tomatoes, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, Tabasco, salt and pepper and mix well.
Serve at room temperature on crostinis or with vegetables. Enjoy!
Sundried tomatoes make anything awesome! They just have such sweet, robust flavor.
