Believe it or not, the recipes featured in the Martha Stewart segment on The Today Show this morning actually were EASY.

I have a love/hate with Martha. I think she is probably a biatch in real life and comes across soooo pretentious to me sometimes that I want to freakin’ slap her in the face.

But then…she really does do everything PERFECTLY. And a tiny part of me wants to do everything perfectly too so she motivates me.

So when I see something she’s done like a delicious looking Chocolate Pecan Pie I get ambitious and try to make it for Thanksgiving and it turns out AWFUL and no one can eat it because the recipe was so freakin’ hard and I am embarrassed and feel inadequate because I am in fact not as perfect as Martha. UGH!

But these recipes she featured on this morning really are easy. One pan and just a few ingredients. The egg/greens/mushroom thing looked like a great breakfast and the Tuscany inspired chicken and olive dish looked so good I wanted to pull it right out of the tv and chop it at 8:30 in the morning! I am a sucker for green olives.
