Feed Me!!
I haven't done squat around the house this week. It's just wrong. REALLY wrong.
So today I'm grounded. No playin', no movies, NO FRITZ'S til I get my work done.
One really big chore is I need to go to the grocery store. I'm out of just about everything.
Including ideas. What fun meals can I make in the next couple of weeks?
Now I do eat rather healthy. Oh - I love my gravy and fried stuff, but not on a daily basis.
I always get a bunch of those Dannon Lite and Fit 60 cal yogurts. I need something sweet after dinner and those help. I realized a couple of weeks ago that I just don't enjoy making desserts for just me. With no one around to tell me they enjoy it, the whole thing is kinda like masterba...you know. While alright there's just SOMETHING missing.
(Did I just type that out loud?!?! Oops!)
I always get cereal. Something some what healthy but still "fun". I'm a cereal kinda gal, it keeps me feelin' like a kid!
I'm big on veggies. Many times that'll be my whole meal. And stir fry. I do a stir fry with a marinated chicken breast, done on the Foreman, just down and dirty. I don't like fancy stir fry, especially sweet and sour. Two tastes in one is kinda confusing for my taste buds. Sweet? Sour? Sweet? Sour? Oh, hell, just keep it simple, for cryin' out loud.
But....I also want to try some new things. Tomorrow is Sunday and I like to do a big pot of something I can munch on all day, and have just in case anyone stops by. Plus, it gives me something for during the week, when I don't have time to cook a big meal. But I don't know what I want for tomorrow.
I don't buy chips or cookies or stuff like that if I'm not planning on company. If they're here, I'll eat 'em (the snacks, not the company) and that's not good. But, I do keep those Special K snack bars around. 90 cals and not bad tasting at all.
So....do you have any ideas for me? What are some of your "staples"? I really do need to "shake things up" a bit.....
Posted by Tammi at October 6, 2007 08:59 AM | TrackBackI'm a big fan of Kraft's site when I'm feeling uninspired. And I love the "1 bag, 5 dinners" section. When you print out the week (or weeks) you want, it's in grocery list form, so you just mark what you don't need to get and you're good to go. The dinners are good! I make minor modifications here and there, but overall, I've not been disastisfied with one yet.
Here's the site: http://www.kraftfoods.com/kf/EverydayDinner/ShoppingListSplashPage.htm

... Pizza rolls. There's got to be somethin' "Kraft" in there somewhere.
I am not good at pots of somethin, until it is not 90 degrees...
I can tell you a chicken breast grilled, on a bed of romaine lettuce is good with just about everything....
I have recently been on a Southwest turkey sandwich kick....
yummmmm....
meatloaf is a favorite here, and with a baked pot/salad/ veggie not bad....
um.......
we end up doing grilled chicken here a lot

Taco Soup
Chili
Chicken spaghetti
Chicken soup
I will spend all day in the kitchen, but I truly love it when I can cook enough in one day to last for several weeks.

seriously, though, now that i know making dessert is like masturbation for you, i'm starting to understand your obsession with being in the kitchen. your cooking posts are going to change a lot for me.
