Food.

I've decided it's time to re-focus on good eating. That's why I've included food journals the last couple days. Below are a few thoughts, plus a little cooking video.

It's obvious, but you have to shop well if you want to eat well. Last night A. and I stocked up our fridge with green vegetables: broccoli, broccoli rabe, collards, kale, spinach, asparagus. It seemed like a ton, but greens cook down so much. And now we never have an excuse not to eat a green veg with any meal. We also bought some sturdier veggies: onions, carrots, a turnip, sweet potatoes, mushrooms. We bought 18 eggs, a whole chicken, more chicken, pork chops, and ground turkey. Some of this went straight into the freezer, but I just used a lot of it in the chicken soup I made this morning:



Basically, I'm trying to lock into cleaner eating by shopping better and cooking more from scratch. This means some trips to the supermarket will seem "excessive." Hopefully, though, it will be worth it to have a houseful of good food.

So, far, so good. This morning I cooked up an omelette with onion, mushrooms, tomato, and spinach. It was so flavorful it really didn't need salt or cheese. Then I took a couple hours and made a turkey-veggie meatloaf and that pot of chicken soup. Now, I'll have more stuff on hand for the rest of the week, so I don't end up eating handfuls of nuts and spoonfuls of almond butter every time I get hungry.
