Recently Julie and Julia became available on one of our movie channels again, and in watching it, I became re-obsessed all over again.
So much that I researched MANY recipes from the movie ... one that I tried this evening as a side dish to our steaks.. If you've seen the movie, you know the Bruchetta scene Im talking about!.. You immediately start drooling, and for me, I jumped on the computer and started googling "julie and julia bruschetta".. which I actually think (unless this is a lie) that I found the actual recipe from the movie!

Since my obsession, I found not only the bruschetta recipe, but Chicken with Mushrooms in Cream Sauce, Beef Borgonionne, Lobster (which Im craving now), and Im sure there are many many more.
One of my favorite parts of the movie, is when Julia's husband asks her what do you like to do.. she replies "EAT", but im so good at it" ... haha..
I also snagged myself a vintage copy of the famous and fabulous cookbook that the movie is about..
I cant wait till it comes in the mail! I've been waiting for the post man every day like a little kid on Christmas! Im sure I will find more recipe favorites in there to share.
And to curb my eating and baking love.. I did run 1 mile on the treadmill this morning! I havent ran since before Samantha was born when I was about 3 months pregnant. After that I was too scared to run, and AFTER she was born, while nursing I would have had to strap down the "girls" who doubled as a milk farm for 13 months..
So better late than never. I hope to make it a part of my weekly routine, especially when Im at my Mom's house in the morning working.
