In It To Win It


Food. Food. Food. This is my fridge after a Saturday afternoon grocery shopping adventure. Complete with Jason pretending the shopping cart was a bobsled, and in his best "Cool Runnings" accent, counting down to launch the bobsled. The fridge is now nice and full, ready for a week of new breakfasts, lunches, dinners and midnight snacks.

I've really gotten into planning, cooking and preparing meals lately. I know I've mentioned my planning ahead of meals by the month (now down to two weeks because of lack of apartment space to keep four different bags of potatoes). And I've also discovered a love of food blogs. I really have found a lot of them to be informative, witty and interesting to read.

A few favorites:

www.thepioneerwoman.com (thanks Liza!)
www.101cookbooks.com
www.joythebaker.com
www.annies-eats.com

There's something calming about reading through these recipes, the photography they use and the time they spend to make homemade, nutritious meals for their family. It inspires me to take more time to put effort into this part of life. Taking the time to enjoy and experience things. Not just food, but books, events, travel, etc. I think it's time I do more of this.

I've always wanted this blog to be a place to extend myself.
And it's time I extend into new places in this blog. A refresh is in order. Let's go!
