whiski_sourSo the inhabitants of the house have been talking about eating better for...I don't know...a long time.
The past month or so, we've started making little changes. First getting better lunch options than Hot Pockets. Then getting healthier snacks. Then finding ways to add more fruits and vegetables into our diet, looking for new recipes, that sort of thing.
Today I realized two things:
1. All but one of the recipes I'm making for my Spring/Summer menu features vegetables.
2. I will eat a salad if there's meat in it.
I'm a dedicated omnivore. What can I say?
Anyway, I think these changes are going to work out for us. At the very least, we'll be able to stick to them (dinner, definitely, since I'm the main cook). I mean, we're not looking to become health nuts or anything. We're just looking to do better than we have been.
Food should never be a complicated thing. It shouldn't be math. It shouldn't be racked with guilt. It should just taste good and fuel the body. Simple as that.
I happen to have a very healthy relationship with food. I'm just looking to improve the quality of that relationship, that's all.
And if that means putting chicken in salad and fruit on ice cream, then by laws, I'll do it.
