Dinner this week 12.29.11 - 1.1.12

This is just kind of random, no days assigned, as there are some outings planned. But the food we will be eating at some point in the next four days:

Vegetarian three bean chili w/wild rice

Mushroom and asparagus fettucine

Moroccan Lentil Soup

Parmesan Chicken

Mostly vegetarian. Trying to make up for all the bad food eating of the last week as well as the junk we'll consume on New Year's eve/day.
:)

Dinner this week - 12.11.11 - 12.17.11

This week is kind of crazy, so I'm not sure what days these dinners will go with, but here are the dinners for the week (and as usual Thursday=dried pasta/jarred sauce and Saturday will be leftovers)

Shepard's Pie w/these mashed potatoes

Creamy roasted tomato/basil soup

Penne with Roasted Asparagus and Balsamic Butter

Quick Chicken Tikka Masala

Parmesan Chicken Caesar Salad

Dinner this week - 12.4.11-12.9.11

I dropped off the dinner tracking earth for a little while. We had a 'comfort foods pot luck' the weekend before Thanksgiving and were lucky enough to eat leftovers from that up until the holiday. The holiday weekend (following a lovely dinner out) consisted of lots of embellished snacks and generally bad food.

Last week I was just being lazy. Anyway, w/o further ado, here is this week in dinner...

Sunday 12.4.11 - Bubble up pizza

Monday 12.5.11 - Curry veggie pot pie

Tuesday 12.6.11 - Grilled Buffalo Chicken

Wednesday - 12.7.11 - Chili Mac

Thursday - 12.8.11 - Dry pasta and jarred sauce (second to last class!)

Friday - 12.9.11 - Leftovers

Achievement Unlocked - 1

I can't take all the credit, I never unlock the achievement alone. Through a group effort, Fayzo and I unlocked our first unfuck achievemenet!

Fitness goals

I had a lot of fitness goals this year. Specific fitness goals are hard to keep when you work full time and go to school. A better approach for next year may be somewhat vaguer fitness goals.

As for today - I walked two miles on my lunch break. So that's something. Better late than never I suppose.

Well hello.

If you're reading this, I assume you are either my friend, or found me accidentally. I have no plans on sharing this blog with anyone. Okay, maybe a handful of people but very very few.

This blog exists for a few reasons, all of which are personal, thus why I'm not sharing it.

Here, if you're wondering, are my reasons:

1.) Every year on my birthday I make New Year's resolutions. I checked my resolutions the other day and found that I am doing well on some and not so well on some others. I also found that I think I am doing okay on a few resolutions, but I haven't been keeping good track. I will use this blog to track my progress.
2.) I work and go to graduate school full time. I try to have a number of creative outlets for myself, to decompress from my long days. I'll use this blog to document some of those endeavors.
3.) My partner and I are trying to develop our 'dinner rotation'. By documenting here the food we eat, it will be easier to create our rotation. I'll try to do a "this week we're eating" post each week, with follow ups if necessary.

Some things to know - I make a LOT of food, but I won't share recipes just for the sake of sharing them. If I share recipes it's because they're awesome, not just because I wanted something to post. Same goes for any creative projects I share. I'm not going to post 101 Thanksgiving crafts or something like that. If those are the kinds of things you're looking for, I fear you're in the wrong place.

And with that, away we go.
