Confessions Day 3
Well, I am kind of proud of myself. If there was any day this week that I would have cheated and ordered pizza it was yesterday but I didn't. I didn't really cook anything fancy but we ate at home and that was the main thing. We did have hot dogs for lunch but it was mainly a blah day. Small victory but a victory none the less.

Confessions Day 2
Yesterday we did pretty good. I did oversleep but once I got up I cooked breakfast. I am not one for cooking breakfast. I am fine with just some coffee and toast or cereal but I decided to make French Toast. This was my fist attempt. It would not win any awards or anything but it was pretty good.
For lunch we just went on the light side and had sandwiches since we had a good sized late breakfast.
Dinner was a success I think. We had salmon with lemon dill caper sauce and pasta with spinach and shrimp and cherry tomatoes.
I really need to find a small inexpensive bookshelf to put my cookbooks on. It would make it a lot easier for me to make a grocery list if my cookbooks were not spread out all over the house. I will look around for one in the next week or so.

Confessions of a Lazy Cook
Confession time.
Mark and I are terrible about buying groceries and cooking. I hate to go to the grocery store by myself and he hates to go altogether. When we don't buy groceries I can't cook so it becomes easy to say, 'just go to McDonald's for dinner" and so forth. We spend ridiculous amounts of money this way. It thins our pocket books and fattens our waists. Yet, we do it. So, this week I have put my foot down. I went to HEB and bought groceries and we are not eating out until this weekend when we are on the road and don't really have viable options other than eating out. So, I figured, I would blog about it. Maybe that would excite me and keep me motivated.
Day 1
Dinner
I cooked spaghetti and meat sauce and some whole wheat rolls. I kept it simple for tonight since I was tired from the shopping but as soon as I got in I put the groceries away and started cooking.
One day at a time. Trading bad habits for good healthier habits.
