i made a salad for dinner. a salad that cost me $20 and 45-minutes in the kitchen. but my family refused to eat. they said it had weird stuff in it. but i've really been thinking lately about how i eat and what i feed my family. it's become important to me lately.
i am an adult and would like to eat like one, yet i often find myself in front of a bowl of Chef Boy’Ordee and i wonder how i got there. More than once i’ve eaten cereal for dinner and reheated pizza for breakfast. i’m trying to avoid this and eat better . . . healthier. i’m not getting any thinner or younger. So i open the fridge and cupboards to see where i stand. hummmm. . . ice cream, cookies, popcorn, Nerds, macaroni, frozen waffles, Coke and Kool-Aid. so, i’m not off to a good start. but i can take baby steps to get us where we need to be. this is why i like going out to eat so much. when i dine out i am able to treat myself to a vegetable. i can’t blame my family though. i should set an example, but it is sooo easy for me to fall into the trap of convenience foods and I give into their demands. Rachel Ray, i need your help! what is easy to make, kid friendly and healthy? i’m going to sit down with Rodney and see what compromises we can come to regarding our diet.
but not tonight because i want to go to Braum’s. nothing makes me feel better like a whopping scoop of Rocky Road! (baby steps)
