Have you ever lost “it” whatever “it” is for you? Lately for me, “it” has been my ability to cook something tasty. Recipes that used to make a very satisfying meal are yielding leftovers that are destined to crust over and harden in the fridge. The squash casserole I made last weekend came out tasting like a weird baked squash omelet. I put cheese on it! How could it be bad?

I also made homemade pasta last week. The pasta turned out okay, but it isn’t anything I would serve to guests. Could it be that my original attempts at cooking were overrated simply because I was starving when I ate them or because I was just so proud of cooking something different?

The bottom line is that I need new, quick recipes for a decent dinner. Decent means that the food is not prepackaged and it must contain some sort of vegetables besides potatoes. And no, Ragu is not a vegetable.
