A Little Like Julia

I’m so excited to share this post with you. I can hardly contain myself. Is this real?! No idea what I’m freaking out about? Read on, my friend. Read on.

If you’ve read the You Inspire Me page of this blog, you’ll likely have noticed that Julia Child is on my list. Husband has kindly compared me to her on occasion, and said maybe someday I’d be like her, and have my own little show. Very sweet and encouraging of him to say, but a little unrealistic.

Tomorrow I will take one step towards being a little bit like this wonderful, inspirational woman. A little cooking show will commence filming and soon after make its appearance on the internet.

I’m thrilled to be partnering with Abundant Harvest Organics on this culinary adventure. It really is a dream come true! What we’re cooking up (pun intended) is a little show called A Cooking Show with Rachel O - This Week’s Feast, that will highlight a recipe from Thursday on the weekly Abundant Harvest Organics menu. In a nutshell, I’ll show you what’s in the current week’s AHO box and then cook with some of it. The “pilot” will air this week (hopefully Thursday). Currently we’re slated for 4 shows, but we’ll see if it gets “picked up” after that. It will be posted on youtube, but I’ll post it on here too.

Can you tell that I’m excited?! Of course I’m also super nervous, but it’s like 25% nervous, 75% excited. That may change as soon as the camera starts recording…

Anyhoo, in the first episode, I’ll be cooking Minestrone Soup… Can’t wait!!!
