At the end of March, I apparently wasn't totally feeling the cooking vibe and definitely didn't have a photo vibe. I have like three food pictures! But I did do a little cooking. This week, I experimented with some protein bars based off a recipe I found on NYT Cooking. I made a few changes, … Continue reading Food Diary Week 104 (3/24-3/30/2022)

Food Library Week 95 (1/20-1/26)
I'm officially done with my cooking break! I still have my husband help out with things like getting the instant pot from its storage place on top of our fridge to the counter and anything else that involves heavy lifting, but I'm back. That said, we started this week with take-out. We were really craving … Continue reading Food Library Week 95 (1/20-1/26)
Food Diary Week 94 (1/13-1/19)
This was my second week of my mini-break from cooking. We did a lot of leftovers and a lot of take out again. Okay, it was not a lot of take-out, but more often than I prefer. Like, I know what I put in my food and where the foods come from for the most … Continue reading Food Diary Week 94 (1/13-1/19)
Food Diary Week 93 (1/6-1/12)
So, I went on a "break" from cooking at the beginning of 2022. No, this was not a much needed break from meal planning and preparation. My shoulder was injured and I needed to not be standing in my kitchen, chopping, stirring, mashing, and picking up all manners of heavy appliances and such. So the … Continue reading Food Diary Week 93 (1/6-1/12)
Food Diary Week 92 (12/30-1/5)
Okay, I've officially decided to stop relating this food diary to Covid. Covid has and is exercising control over too much of life. I'm ready to move on. No, I'm not one of those people who have decided to pretend it's over or not happening, but I need a few spaces where I don't need … Continue reading Food Diary Week 92 (12/30-1/5)
Thanksgiving 2021
Well, things are a little different again this year. Last year, we had no one over and I made a whole meal and dropped it on my Mel's porch. And I did a google meeting for family and friends and made my husband and I Cornish hens with fixings. This year, we had all three … Continue reading Thanksgiving 2021
Covid Life Food Diary Week 91 (12/23-12/29)
So it's New Year's Eve and I'm exhausted. But I wanted to finish out the year's journal so here I am. I apologize if it comes off a little like the ramblings of a lunatic. Kidding. I'll try to be coherent. I still have one other blog post I seriously want to post this year. … Continue reading Covid Life Food Diary Week 91 (12/23-12/29)
Covid Life Food Diary Week 90
NINETY WEEKS! Can you believe all this "covid life" started 90 weeks ago? That is just insane. I remember when the lockdowns started. I remember thinking this was going to be more than the two weeks officials were talking about. But there is no way I could ever have predicted our lives would still be … Continue reading Covid Life Food Diary Week 90
Covid Life Food Diary Week 88
As I move into the last month of the year, I think I want to play with the format of this journal string. It feels like it's gotten a little repetitive and I'm just not as excited to write it. So have some patience with me as I experiment with the style. The week of … Continue reading Covid Life Food Diary Week 88
Covid Life Weeks 86 & 87
Let's be fair. I am a month behind and writing several weeks' posts at once. So yes, the cranky from week 85 continues to carry through. And I'm combining a couple of weeks because I got carried away writing it and because I'm so damned behind again and I have several non-diary blog post ideas … Continue reading Covid Life Weeks 86 & 87
