Welcome Back - We Have Snacks

It has been a minute since I’ve posted a blog! There are several reasons I decided to take a break but with quarantine giving me a lot more free time, it’s the perfect time to come back.

My New Routine

Since my last blog post, I’ve moved to College Station with my sister and started a new job. There have been so many changes and one of those is how I manage cooking. I assumed having a set schedule would be easier than life as a student where one week I’m studying 12 hours a day for a test and the next I could be going to social events and a tailgate (I miss football season!). However, I’ve found it just as difficult to stay motivated to cook in my new environment. So, in order to eat the most nutritious and fresh options, I decided to get organized.

I bought a calendar and decided to put my sisters collection of cookbooks to use - let’s just say they’ve been collecting dust, but my sister’s a busy doctor so we’ll give her a break. Once a week, we choose 4 to 5 recipes to make for dinner each week. Then I make a grocery list on a notepad like it’s the 1960s and I’m wearing an apron. (Hint: I’m more of a wipe my hands on my pants or the closest persons face if I’m in a mood. Try it, guarantee a smile on your face at the least.) This schedule has pros and cons, but it works for me and maybe it could work for you too. Or you’ll see me fail a couple times a week at eating like Chrissy Teigen on my Instagram. And hey, if I can be anything like Chrissy that’s a win to me.

Bottom Line

I am back to writing regular blogs and posting regularly to my Instagram about my love for food. If you want me to review a cookbook or you enjoy one of the ones I post about and want to know where to get it, let me know! I am always trying new recipes and showing you the many ways that I can fail simple instructions. Let’s find out together.
