im keepin it simple

the past few nights we decided to go simple. i know all these food pics are boring. but lets face it..they are for me to look back on eventually so who cares. last night we did burritos. nothing new or extravagent but they tasted pretty damn good. weve been using alot of cumin and tumeric lately. both are said to have some health advantages and when it comes down to it, it brightens up the flavor in any stirfry or dish.then tonight we went for more asian flavors. making quinoa and brown rice for some mixed grains and then a broc/onion/carrot/pepper mix seasoned with ginger/garlic/soysauce. it was my first time cooking with ginger and it was surely an experience. before tonight the only experience with ginger i have had is the bread or the ale ha. well and pickled ginger with sushi but thats totally different. it was a bit overpowering at first taste so i had to tone it down with some soysauce to balance out the flavor. it def made for a good complex taste when i was done. but was a little scary getting there. ginger surely packs a mean punch. at the same time thoughs, just like cumin/tumeric, ginger is also said to be really good for you.
