I cook because I have to. I enjoy eating tasty, healthy meals but I don’t always enjoy being the creator of said meals. I do it from necessity. If not me, who? Because I’m hyper-organized but also looking for the easy way out, I usually try to come up with three nice meals a week. The other days are covered by leftovers, take out, and a few in-a-pinch sort of meals (burritos and pizza in our house)
I’ve done my three nice meals this week (Thai inspired peanut sauce pasta, stir fry green beans with garlic sauce, and cheese and broccoli quesadillas if you are curious) and I’m happy to say that tonight is leftover night. Tomorrow we do Chinese take-out (it’s a Thursday night tradition) I’m going to try and get hubby to cook one night over the weekend so I won’t have to actually come up with anything of my own creation until Sunday if I play my cards right.
Nope, not in the mood to cook.
I am however in the mood to bake – carrot cake to be exact. I went out this morning for bread and came back with carrots and cream cheese too. It’s really the only thing that could tempt me into kitchen right now.
Just so you know, I have been writing and am happy to report that I’m keeping up with my own personal goals, modest though they are. Can’t complain about that.
I really don’t like to cook. Yet I’ve embarked on a new “food plan” that requires me to prepare all sorts of things. Ugh.
But I’m determined to give this one a fair go for the full six weeks. We will see…

The hardest thing about new food plans is the learning curve and developing the habits so it becomes more second nature than a chore.
Right now my food plan centers around eating carrot cake for breakfast
