Why am I starting this blog? To motivate and document my attempts to cook more often and eat out less. My husband and I both work demanding full-time jobs, and I'm the only one in the house that cooks. Gourmet chef I am not, but I try my best to make things that are relatively healthy and also taste good.
Hubby is the resident Carnivore of the place, and our two year old Giant is your typically picky toddler. Trying to please the Carnivore's vegetable-hating palate while also making something the Giant will at least try is no mean feat!
When I work, it's all too easy for us to end up at a fast food joint. Those are the days when I'm exhausted from a full day and don't feel like cooking. Since the Carnivore doesn't cook and loves a good burger, he encourages my laziness. Our bank account has been protesting our love of fast food. In short, we need to make a drastic change for our financial and physical health.
I'm not a health nut, although I have been convinced that High Fructose Corn Syrup has no place in our diet. My goal is to create balanced meals that taste good and don't take forever and a day to prepare. I try to incorporate fresh things, whole grains, and organic produce when I can afford it, but I'm by no means strict about it. I plan to blog our daily dinner and be honest about it. Hopefully, documenting our eating habits for all to read will force me to think twice before picking up a burger. Restaurant food will probably still pop up from time to time. My goal is no more than twice a month.
Here's to accountability! May it produce a fatter wallet.
