Looking for foodie friends

I'd rather cook than eat out. It happens on occasion don't get me wrong but I find I eat better when I see exactly whats going into my meals. Last night I made lettuce wrapped ground turkey tacos with homemade seasoning mix (i read the back of the packet and that got tossed) feel free to add me. By the way, homemade taco seasoning tastes so much better lol

I've sent you a friend request. I'm aiming to eat 99.9% clean and cook most of what I eat from scratch. People please friend me )

Feel free to add -- I enjoy cooking, but don't do it as often as I'd like, as our hectic family life tends to mean that it's more often a question of feeding the troops before a mutiny breaks out. When my wife's away with work, I tend to resort to ready-meals. :ohwell:

I love food. Most meals are made from scratch (my wife loves to cook) and we try to mix it up often. I do find however that I'm lazy when it comes to logging and I'll often find an equivalent. Like if I eat a wrap that I (she) made, I'll find a comparable wrap in the database and choose it. Add me if you wish (I admin, I ate out last night, took my son to subway for a treat).

I love to cook, make beautiful and healthy dishes, and EAT!

I just started here, (first post, woo!) and I've been having this problem! I love cooking and eating, but I work two jobs so it's a little bit difficult. What's really helped is prepping, which my boyfriend does as well. The difference between he and I is that I like my food to taste good For instance, last night I made 8 breakfast burritos (just logged the recipe 264 cal each!) and put them in the freezer at work for a nice homemade breakfast every day without waking up at 6am. I also made 5 meals this weekend of balsamic marinated grilled chicken, rice (white can't let it go just yet) and sauteed squash and zucchini. 5 tupperwares and my work fridge and I'm good to go for the week. It's great because a) it's homemade and I know how to cook b) I'm saving money c) having it premade in the fridge at work helps me say "no" when my coworkers ask what everyone wants from the Chinese place down the street. I'd love some more recipes and ideas, I'm naturally slim (120-125lb), so I'm not doing this to lose unwanted weight as much as tighten up and be healthier (if I'm gunna work my butt off in the gym, I better look good) so if food isn't tasty I know I'll stop doing it. My boyfriend is cutting water and eating boiled chicken and brown rice with no salt added, every meal for the week. That wil not be me.

feel free to add me!! my breakfast is usually the same, but I definitely try not to have too many convenience type foods and cook almost every night of the week. Usually try out some new recipes in the weekend, as I love to cook! Some of my diary entries might be in dutch, however

Hi all,

Glad I'm not the only one out there! My main convenience foods are breads, crackers, hummus, and cereal - just about everything else I try to do homemade. I get a CSA basket most weeks so I can have lots of fresh produce to work from, I have a grapefruit tree in my yard, and I'm also growing my own lettuce, kale, and chard. I cook 80-90% vegetarian but do eat meat 1-2x/week. I love cooking and eating fresh food, have been struggling to build up my log of recipes and am still getting into the habit of weighing versus measuring my food.

I also have the problem of wanting to go out to eat to local restaurants rather than chains, but trying to figure out nutritional information for those meals is difficult!

Feel free to friend me!

Hi there and welcome. . . my diary is open to the public so take a peek and if you want send thru a friend request.

I'm slowly getting better at cooking something real for dinner at night. Lunch and Breakfast are pretty boring, but you can add me if you'd like.
