Last year for a New Year's Resolution I decided to plan my meals on Sunday, grocery shop that day, and then use a service for weekly menu inspirations. I chose papayahead.com and was immediately very glad that I did. Over 2011 every week I received lots of recipes that Matt and I tried. Some were fantastic, some OK, and some terrible - all in all it proved to be so much fun, a money-saver, and helped us to eat healthy. The other kicker was that I was pregnant. My exhaustion was extreme, so I had no energy to cook each night. However, I did not want to compromise on my dedication to eat fresh produce with little to no packaged/processed foods and definitely would not begin eating fast food. I mostly cooked meals that had only a few ingredients, used the same ingredients for a couple of different dishes during the week, and only took an average of 30 - 45 minutes from prep to table.
One focus of this blog will be to share some of the recipes that I have found or that I have developed on my own. As a warning, I am not big on precision in regards to recipes. I just use my "gut." If you need more specifics, comment or send me a private message and I will do my best to help. Bon appetite!
