Week Four

I'll say it.  I cooked ONE time this week.  ONE!  We were sooooo busy I'm not even sure what we did for meals!  I'll I know is it meant that this week I don't have to shop as much.  I'm still trying to use the meals from week three. We'll get caught up.  Eventually.  We're just going to have to start again with week 4!

Today it rained and rained.  I wanted something warm.  Warm bread and soup.  Something familiar.  So I again went a little off track.  I made whole wheat parmesan rolls and Black Bean Soup.  It was divine.  The only off-thing with the soup was the beef broth I used.  Otherwise it was right on par. The rolls- well, commercial yeast (still working on the sourdough thing- got a book tonight I've started reading through), and dipped in mayonnaise and butter. Topped with parmesan.  They were divine. And bad/cheating.  Then there were the cinammon rolls I made with the leftover dough. I used coconut sugar................ they were yummy. And yes, I felt guilty.

So I made good choices this week.  And I made bad (like the fresh cut french fries for lunch).  But I still feel like we're/I'm making good progress.  It always has been two steps forward, one step back for me in this area.  So.  It's OK.  I think. Hubbie is still eating salads everyday for lunch and the two girls are still drinking green smoothies with me.  Even one of the boys (#1) is requesting green smoothies (although he's not drinking them!)! Breakfast and lunch aren't too bad but sometimes, depending on the night and what's going on, dinner gets us.

So, there's my report! Forward Ho!
