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)
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)
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
Well, yes, we are still being careful. But we are going out more. I'm even volunteering at a festival next week. I'm also slightly relieved that it may rain. And the kid is back to in-person school, sort of. I'd explain that more, but that's a whole other blog topic. Let's talk food. Thursday (9/23) … Continue reading Semi-Quarantined Life Week 78
This was hopefully the last truly hot week this year. Fall is here after all, so I want cool days and even cooler nights. But don't worry, I'll be complaining about the cold before we know it. But Covid numbers are trending down in Chicago and vaccine numbers are trending up so let's keep a … Continue reading Semi-Quarantined Life Week 77
I'm almost caught up to the present week. Of course, I'll commit to keeping them current. But we'll all know I am probably lying...or just wishful thinking. But hey, we all just do the best we can! This week saw some food victories and of course, some less than victorious moments. Thursday (9/9) - We … Continue reading Semi-Quarantined Life Week 76
Life was still briefly a little more "normal"...I hate that word now. I don't want normal. But, I do like being able to pop into my local grocery store. And I like not paying all those delivery fees that come with a total lockdown situation. And at this point, numbers had started increasing and we … Continue reading Semi-Quarantined Life Week 70
This week I had a little more fun with food again. It's not back at that level with early pandemic when I was cooking sometimes three times a day, but it was a fun week. So, let's jump into it. Thursday (7/1) - Okay, this was a simple night because Katie actually cooked. We just … Continue reading Semi-Quarantined Life Week 66
We did a little traveling this week, which always changes up our normal eating routine. However, we should get some credit that we made a trip to Arkansas that did not include Taco Bell. Seriously folks, I don't know what it is about traveling south, but we always end up at a Taco Bell. I'm … Continue reading Semi-Quarantined Life Week 65
