*flail*
All right. So as many of you know, there has been a mythical "diet" in the works for some time now. Hunter and I are determined to make it work this year. To this end, the Saturday gaming *has* to be adjusted to not order six frickin' pizzas for 8 people!! Saturday is the worst for killing the diet effort. So we proposed that we cook food. This was met with approval, seemingly because we did the cooking. >.>
This week: baked chicken, mashed potatoes, and assorted veggies lightly sauteed with a piece or two of bacon. The bacon is so that the boys will actually eat the vegetables. I brought salad last week piled high with veggies, cheese, and bacon -- and they picked out the cheese and bacon and left all the veggies. Though I think I heard someone say they liked cucumber??
The point? I asked one of the only other girls if she would pick out some produce to bring that could be cooked with the bacon -- and she said she'd rather just have the bacon. ;___; So sad. She was supposed to be on our side!
Suggestions out there for cheap meals to feed small armies? The guys all eat as if they were 16 and growing vertically still.
