clean food for my messy life
If I am totally honest, I don’t really like potatoes.
But my husband does. And they are affordable. So they make the cut at the grocery store and find their way into my pantry.
We were out of town all week last week, so coming back, pretty much all I had in the pantry was a bag of potatoes (because.. I don’t like them so I hadn’t used them since buying a massive bag on sale and saying I would find a use for them)….
I used to say I hated eggplant, and then I tried it.
Whoops.
And me, of all people? I have a firm belief that you can’t say you don’t like something unless you try it. Somehow, however, eggplant slipped the rule system….
I love Thanksgiving- like LOVE it. I pretty much look for ways to make my meals resemble all the tastes and feelings of Thanksgiving- ALL YEAR LONG.
One of my favorite parts of Thanksgiving is that is pretty much acceptable to make any vegetable as sweet as dessert, and feel no guilt, because it’s Thanksgiving.
One thing that my family did for Thanksgiving was glazed carrots. I absolutely love them, but can’t justify all the sugar when I am trying to eat healthy the other 364 days of the year….
For the most part, I can deal with the absence of fried food in my life.
I have to admit, however, that I cry a little when I am to eat with friends and everyone is chowing down on the tower of onion rings they ordered as an appetizer to “share.”
People are sharing, and I am missing out on all the fun….
