I want to write a cookbook
I wish I had time to write a cookbook for my own pleasure. I want to be able to do the proper research, try out the recipes, have others test them, and take the pictures. Maybe I'll just start a blog so I can slowly work on the recipe collection. And figure out the creative twist that will compel people to buy the finished…

What to do with greens
I belong to a CSA, and we're coming up on greens season. I love all sorts of greens, but I do find I get overwhelmed by them all. Can't eat that much kale every day! Today I'm blanching and freezing the sturdier greens that I got in my box yesterday. And some from last week's box too. Big pot of boiling water, well-washed…

Why don't you eat vegetables?
I'm just curious... No judgment. I want to know why. I have struggled with eating enough veggies. I've had six servings today. I want to eat 10-20 1/2-cup servings. I want to eat less protein (I tend to eat too much), no processed food, or fast food. If I ate enough veggies, I think it would be easier. But some people have…

How to travel and eat better

I travel a lot for business, and also just to have a change from small town life, so I accrue points and get to stay for free often. This weekend I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express. They serve breakfast, and it's just plain awful! I seem to have a food…

I did really well for a few years, but just over a year ago, I got a tooth infection, which led to higher blood sugar levels, and then had to go on insulin. I've felt pretty defeated ever since. I've gained some weight back. I…

Yes, but shouldn't I be tracking everything?
*sigh* I am a nerd. I love, LOVE tracking data! When I started using MFP, I jumped in with both feet. It helped me to better understand what I was eating. As I watched how what I ate affected my body, mind and spirit, I learned to tweak my choices. Sometimes I just make crap choices. I tracked those as well. Then at the…

I buy too much food.
I had some friends over for lunch today. I cooked the right amount of food. No leftovers! But I bought too much, and got too tired to cook it all. It worked out for lunch, but then I received a delivery from my CSA later on. It included several bunches of greens, radishes, grapefruit, butternut squash, apples, oranges,…
