food

so my husband and i have started cutting into our sleep time at night by doing the p90x workout.. (ouch, btw) and it started me thinking on what we eat. how much good is working out going to be if i'm eating caramel popcorn and soda everyday? this has also come at the same time i received my first crock-pot (yeah!) so i am starting to go through my cook book and take out all the things i will never take the time to make (hazelnut crusted chicken with gorgonzola sauce), the things that are truly horrible for us (the peanut butter and bacon cookies are staying i don't care what anyone says), and add in new things, specifically crock pot choices. i'm hoping that i will start taking the time to really learn how to cook and take the time to make my family healthy meals (but mcnuggets are so handy!) and hopefully get elijah to try new things (he ate steak for the first time last night) so wish me luck on the sticking with the fitness and with the being a more responsible, health conscience cook! happy new year everyone!

cooking

i am not a big cooker. usually some pasta or raman noodles i added some extra stuff to. but i got a crockpot for christmakkah and am starting to compile recipes. the idea of it just cooking all day while i'm home with the boys and not have to take hours out of my life to cook makes me really happy... here's hoping a get some awesome ideas and put them to good use.
