Let's Get Cooking

So now that you have everything you need in your kitchen it's time to get cooking. But one last thing before I get started with recipes. Living in the Washington, D.C., metro area we have lots of choices when it comes to grocery stores, including multiple ethnic markets. I understand that not everyone reading this blog has the same choices I have, but I will try to customize my suggestions to accommodate shopping choices in your area.  Here is a list of places I shop in order of frequency:

1. Trader Joe's --- http://www.traderjoes.com/
2. Falls Church City Farmers Market --- http://www.fallschurchva.gov/content/government/departments/recparks/farmersmarket/default.aspx
