I think we all get in rut sometimes. Whether it's the "What's for dinner?" rut of being uninspired in what to make, or whether life's become too busy that fast food and low prep (or no prep) items take centre stage.
In our house I'm finding that we just don't eat as much as we used to. I'll go on a marathon of cooking and we've got leftovers all week long. It inspired me to work on making a random meal to share with James' parents during the week. I envisioned them having it on a busy day of appointments or something so they don't have to worry about food when they get home. It makes them happy, and makes me smile. It's all good.
We've been kept hopping lately, not just with our work and volunteer lives but we've also taken on taking care of our grandkids during the week. It has taken some juggling but I think we're (mostly) winning most of the time. Some of my "things" have fallen off the list lately and I'm making a concerted effort to get back to them because they are too important to be left behind.
I've been working on a number of new features for my blog that I'm hoping to roll out over the next few weeks. Other ideas will be in the oven for a bit longer but they won't keep you waiting long.
I've made a point of doing more food prep and cooking with the kids when they are here. Seeing the gleam in a toddler's eye when he sees the magic of food colouring on stark white icing that first time. One of the many things we take for granted after a while I suppose.
I've taken a bunch of photos of cooking with the kids, experimenting as well as new recipes with the idea of getting them to the blog, but my "stuff" always seems to end up last on the list.
I'm beginning to think that saving the best for last was bad advice. I'm going to start going with the eat dessert first philosophy in the coming weeks.
Stay tuned!
