Dinner

Cooking has a way of highlighting all of my worst flaws.

Preparing food from a recipe involves:

1. Finding things at the store with kids. I wasn’t all that great at finding things at the store before I had children. Now, shopping its a combination of confusion, tears, and occasional yelling.

2. Working with Meat. Before I had kids, I was terrified of cooking raw meat. I had to get over it when we had kids, these guys need protein. But washing my hands a million times, as I worry about food poisoning, gets old. 

3. Following written instructions. !!!! 

4. Paying for food. No matter how much I tell myself that going out to eat costs more than buying bulk items at the grocery store, I still hulk out while swiping my card. How can it be that much? How? Seriously, how?

I am trying to cook this week. I signed up for this emeals program. I got all of the ingredients, for the whole week, right here in my home. Tonight equals braised chicken.

Sorry this post was less than interesting. I have a 4 year old on my lap and its been a long day 🙂 Hugs,

Ps. Wonder what pine nuts taste like…
