  1. Vacation Day Two

    September 8, 2010 by Blondette

    Today I awoke with one goal:  plan meals.

    I use a few sites* to find ideas and inspiration to not just eat the same old things. Sometimes you need help sparking your brain and steering away from the easy food ruts (i.e. Chipotle and Subway.)

    I’m also trying to get away from the frozen meals for lunch. You know, in a convenient box, plastic, ice crystals, NOT FILLING. Yep. A little time in the kitchen and I can get rid of those things in favor of more balanced, tastier, more filling meals.

    Anyway, I’m going to share a secret with you:  I can cook. When I was a little girl I used to make concoctions in the kitchen. I helped my mom from an early age. When we were still getting our footing in KC after leaving Oregon, I used to whip up delicacies like souffle. Really, it was whipping eggs and tossing in some cheese and meat because eggs were cheap and we didn’t have much money, but I felt useful.

    So, here’s my first little “cookbook” on Spark People!

  2. Overpriced Chicken

    March 8, 2010 by Blondette

    In all my laziness, I seem to have given up cooking. This evening I was craving a grilled chicken breast and was hopeful when I saw them at my local Price Chopper. I’ve had delicious grilled breastes from the downtown market and really hoped maybe the same would be true for my northland branch. Nope.

    I ate half of it caveman style but alas, it may become a cat treat.

    Don’t cry for me though – I ate .6lbs of Asian Slaw (aka cabbage.) Cry for you because whew! cabbage.
