While my 100th post on this series should come with more fanfare, I have decided to combine these two weeks. I've done this mostly because there will be separate blog on my food while in Mexico. I left on the 16th and returned the 27th, so this will be shorter post of what I know … Continue reading Food Diary Weeks 99-100 (2/17-3/2)
I'm going to do an entire blog on my experience in Oaxaca, Mexico, but this deserves its own page. I have decided that I want to take a cooking class in any country I visit and I want to visit a lot of places. In February, I took a sort of impromptu trip to Oaxaca, … Continue reading My Authentic Oaxaqueña Cooking Experience
Okay, this week is going to get truncated by a day and there will be no week 99. I ran off to Mexico and I will post a separate blog on that adventure. Week 100 will also be truncated for the same reason, so I'll do one blog for those two weeks with a little … Continue reading Food Dairy week 98 (2/10-2/16)
I'm going to be honest. The photos from this particular week look like a teenager's food diary. This is definitely not going to go down as my healthiest week of food posting. So there were taquitos from the freezer. My husband and I sometimes settle on this when it's been a particularly long or stressful … Continue reading Food Diary Week 97 (2/3-2/9)
Alright, I've been totally awful at posting so far this year! I did some traveling, but that's not really an excuse since I totally had time to write on my adventures. But let's dive in and catch up on what we've been eating around here! This week my husband found purple cauliflower and fontina cheese … Continue reading Food Diary Week 96 (1/27-2/2)
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)
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)
So several weeks ago, I decided I wanted to make paella. My husband and I drove all over Chicago looking for wild gulf caught shrimp. Seriously. We hit like 6 different places. Ultimately, we found them at Whole Foods. We also found Key West shrimp, which we ultimately bought because they were the size we … Continue reading We have Shrimp!
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)
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)
