Groceries

Now, I've never been what most would consider a healthy eater. But I've been eating really poorly lately. I cooked two meals last weekend, and had the leftovers for lunch three days, but other than that it's been a lot of fast food and frozen crap. I need to start eating better. Which for me just means cooking for myself. Even if that food isn't 'healthy', it's still better than something that comes from a box or a bag. So, I finally got up off my lazy butt yesterday and made it to the grocery store. On the menu for this week: Chicken paprikash, mac 'n' cheese, and cheesy potato cakes. I made the paprikash last night and will take it for lunch tomorrow. The rest will come later in the week. Tonight it's sun-dried tomato polenta. Now, I realize none of these things is all that healthy. I started the paprikash out with bacon, and I plan to put TONS of cheese in the mac. But it's gotta be better than frozen chicken nuggets tossed with hot sauce and served with ranch. Plus while I was at the store I picked up a couple of yogurts. One is Stoney Field farm 'french' vanilla, the other is the oh so delicious yet $2 a pop Fage. This Fage stuff is good. It's Greek style so it's good and thick. They make it where it comes with a side of a mix in like honey or strawberry. But I got a full size, full fat, serving. I was going to top it with my own honey. Then I realized that it'd be even better with pure maple syrup. That will be breakfast tomorrow. Gotta start the week off right.
