How does this happen?
I just finished putting together Chili in my crockpot for tomorrow. However, I realized that I'm missing two of the spices. I have a good 20 some spices but not the two needed for this recipe. How does that happen? I should probably get rid of the spices I do have while I'm at it considering they are at least 4 years old. That might be a good start.
I'm finally starting to do something that I should have done a long time ago: meal planning. It's okay to come home and grab stuff and just put it together. But it's also not that healthy for us and leads to John and me being too lazy to cook anything real. My goal is to make a meal plan for two weeks. This will make for controlled healthy meals without any "What do you want for dinner? Let's just get some fast food." There should be enough leftover for everything that I can freeze servings for lunch and a meal for John the following week.
I have tons of recipes torn from magazines, books, and even a cd of my families recipes. I think I should be good to go to return to cooking. Now if only I could get some chili powder and garlic salt.
