Okay. I'm getting started. I GOT started. I'm committed to this thing. First order of business?? A recipe. What the hell am I gonna cook??? The kids were still in school and Genny girl was firmly planted in front of Caillou. I had approximately 22 minutes to look through some cookbooks and get inspired. I grabbed "Cooking Light--Fresh Food Fast--Weeknight Meals" and found my inspiration on page 243. Pasta Bolognese. I had NO idea how to even pronounce the name of this dish (still don't) so it must be perfect. Plus the ingredients sounded yummy...off to the grocery store I went. But first I told my family what I was doing.
Me: Guess what I did today?? I started a BLOG!!
Caylin (13): And I care about this WHY?!?!
Me: ???
Me: ???
Me:???
(I had no idea what to say. My tongue was tied because my brain was busy visualizing strangling her.)
New approach...
Me: Hey guys...I'm heading to the grocery store. I'm trying a new recipe tomorrow night. I've decided to do this twice a week for the next year...we SERIOUSLY need to start eating healthier.
Caylin: So what's for dinner tomorrow night?????
Me: Pasta Bolognese.
Caylin: Ew, GROSS!! I'm making oodles of noodles.
SEE?!?! Hives.
But I AM gonna do this thing.
I don't know about the recipes, but the comments will definitely make this BLOG worth reading.
