TFG: Cook Along: Bosnian Pita with Spinach Filling

FYI: This is a lengthy post, you will find this weeks Cook Along challenge at the bottom.

This is what I know for sure: cooking is important. I believe in food, I believe in cooking, I believe in working for delicious, healthful and satisfying food. Cooking at home is cheaper than eating out and you will always know exactly what you’re eating.

And so the Cook Along (or cookalong) was born out of this belief. The belief that getting in the kitchen will somehow make me a better person. I know this to be true. There is a satisfaction that I cannot explain in words that comes to me when I’ve prepared a meal. Some strange force that makes me feel human and whole when I shop locally. Cooking makes me feel like I have the power to change my life and the world around me.

I’ve been wanting to do some sort of a cook along for a very long time, and just never knew how to go about doing it. Basically, I think cooking is fun and hope you do too (at least a little!) and I would love to get in the kitchen with you guys a couple times a month.

Here’s my idea: I will pick a recipe to start (down the road I am happy to take suggestions!) as an assignment. We will have one week to complete the recipe and then post (with photos) our results on the same day.

To make the recipe a little more fun I will post a challenge for the recipe such as: you must use an artichoke in your recipe, or use one local ingredient, or it must be made bento-box style. I encourage us all to make the recipe your own and find ways to make it work individually. For example: making it vegan, gluten-free, made with whole wheat pasta, make it miniature, deconstructed, change the filling, make it low calorie etc.

All you have to do is leave a comment in this post letting me know you’re in and I will link to your blog on reveal day!

Our first assignment begins Thursday January 20th, making the following Thursday (the 27th) reveal day! You can make the recipe at any time during the week, just make sure you schedule your post for Thursday.

Here is our first recipe:

Bosnian Pita with Spinach Filling

Challenge: You must use at least one locally sourced or organic ingredient in the recipe.

Time to fire up those ovens!
