I have been away from writing for a few months and I really do miss it!
Here's the thing ... I almost always write about food. Whether it be menu planning, healthy ideas, easy meals, time saving strategies, it's always about food.
I have to be honest here ... I really do not like to cook. There ... I said it.
I hate cooking. Even better.
I hate shopping, prepping, cooking (which often results in me burning the meal), and cleaning up. I've kinda slipped back to winging it many nights. And it's been ok, we've somehow managed to eat every night.
I have so many other things I LOVE to do. I'm in love with looking through the lens of my camera to see things in a simple, efficient, creative way. I get lost in time just shooting a sunset - which is usually why I burn dinner.
Cooking is a chore to me that I know needs top priority as my active family needs to refuel after all those practices and games. It's just not my favorite thing to do. But I feel the difference when I don't eat well. I can't imagine putting out all the energy they do almost every single day and not eating well.
So what I thought I would do, is for the month of December, I will be posting a recipe 4 nights each week to keep me on track. If anyone wants to join along they can just jump in.
I also have a new website that I'd love to post these recipes on. Click here to check it out: Refuel Your Game. I'll continue to post the blogs on fb as well ... tomorrow night will be the first recipe. I guess I need to dust off the binder of good meals.
One last thought ... we had a great Thanksgiving weekend! A big thank you to my sister and her husband for hosting, my mom for making a fantastic turkey and my nephews for entertaining us at the dinner table. So much to be grateful for! Then there's the soccer tournament weekend. It's been a really busy fall that just keeps going. After another weekend away, my husband says to me ... "Remember when our biggest decision was what poem we would read to the girls at night before bedtime? There was no worry over what college to consider, the logistics of being away for tournaments, if we could schedule any hours for Hannah to drive with her instructor, how to get to the chiropractor when there's no time? I'm going to get that book "A Pizza the Size of the Sun" and read it to them tonight!"
And he did. The giggles and cozying up were priceless. They were so happy. And that is how we ended our 4 day weekend. I'm terribly blessed and ready to take December in stride.
Much Joy,
Krista
Thanksgiving!
