Anna8297's Journal, 09 February 2010

So I made my first "health concious" grocery trip today. How miserable! I have such a hard time coming up with dinner ideas that are healthy. I want Cheese on Everything! I bought baby carrots, grapes, and grape tomatoes because they are munchy and will hopefully satisfy me sometimes when I'm craving junk food. I got fish fillets and chicken breasts so hopefully I can make some low-cal dinners with those that the kids will eat. I realize that if I don't have junky food in the house, I can't eat it, but that seems nearly impossible when I have to buy stuff for Daniel's lunch. He gets yogurt and fruit and a sandwich everyday, but I always pack some kind of chips, or gold fish, and a desert snack too. Guess I may need to cut those out and see if I can find some better stuff for him to be eating too. I think my efforts at healthy eating would be greatly improved if I had some modicum of cooking skill...but I don't...so I'll have to stick to things I can try and make quickly and easily. We'll see how it goes.

Hi Anna...what about making some hummus to go with your veggies? It's super easy to make (and so much better tasting than store bought). I use 1 can of chickpeas (drain the water), approx juice of 2 lemons, 1-2 garlic cloves crushed and some olive oil (enough to blend it all together). It makes snacking on veggies much better and you get your protein in. I don't put Tahini in b/c I like the taste better without. Caroline
