Where do my our ideas come from? Â Often, I do not know. Â Cooking for me, and for many, is a spiritual, intuitive process. Â These ideas come to me at night, in the morning, when I pray. Â They just come to me. Â Now this recipe is not to complicated or earth shattering. Â The important point here is that all of us can find our joy. Â I find mine through my cooking. Â The ideas just flow to me all the time. Â I think that is truly what being connected to a higher power is. Â It is getting your physical self out of the way and letting the information/energy flow. Â Now this is only a Sun-dried tomato dip. Â 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
