Simple Joyful Food

Kitchen confidence made simple.

Gimme time, gimme sweet little time.

Ugh.

I’ve been behaving badly lately.

Been eating-out almost every day for lunch. While Dennis makes me breakfast and has it waiting for me in the car as I leave each morning (love you), I am doing absolutely nothing to help out (unless you count prepping the coffee the night before). Dinner is a crapshoot as we are eating around 9pm every evening. Which means we are staying up late, watching tv because our tummies are still wide-awake.

I hate watching tv.
At night.
With a full tummy.

Before you get worried, don’t. Everything is going great in life and we aren’t trying to fill a void or anything like that. It’s just that… well… I’ve gotten in a rut. My taste buds are enjoying the taste sugar, salt, fat and it’s begging me to keep fueling its fire.

Ever get in a rut like this?

I’m a planner. A get-rid-of-chaos-clutter-distractions kind of gal but let’s face it. We’re all human. Some seem super-human but I’m not one of them. For me, if I am going to pursue a healthy and wholesome lifestyle, I need to plan and manage my time to get back on track. This morning I had time management on my mind while writing a blog post for my company’s website. I talked about focusing on what matters, cutting through the clutter, and the simple fact that time management helps you not waste time. It re-energized me.

Okay, right now. I’m declaring it. Yes, in front of everyone!

Ready…

I am getting back into the time management game.

This is happening!

Prep breakfast as much as possible the night before.
Snacks don’t need to be over-complicated to be satisfying.
Outsmart the what’s-for-dinner dilemma by keeping key ingredients on hand.
Hellooooo Wednesday night Grocery Night.
Dinner guests? All it takes is a wee bit of thinking ahead.

Hold me accountable… please?

Eat well, my friends. Eat well.

Slowing down to savor food and life. And above all, have a good time.

Ad. Stop sneaking the spiced candied pecans!” I Ad. Stop sneaking the spiced candied pecans!” I said this not once, not twice, but almost three times before Dennis beat me to it those words all over again. “I’m sneaking some more,” he happily declared.⁠

You see these spiced candied pecans are simple and easy go-to appetizers that we should always have the ingredients on hand. For those “just in case” moments when… ⁠

“Just like becoming an expert in wine–you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford–you learn about great food by finding the best there is, whether simply or luxurious. Then you savor it, analyze it, and discuss it with your companions, and you compare it with other experiences.” – Julia Child
