Healthful Eating

The weekends just go by so quickly! Brian is still unable to ride, but luckily he has had enough indoor projects to keep him occupied. While he was re-painting mirror frames and reconfiguring our computer set-ups on Sunday, I spent a few hours cooking.

This is part of our New Year's "health plan". In order to help avoid diet-disasters such as eating lunch at McDonald's and ordering a large Pepperoni Pizza for dinner, we are trying to keep our fridge stocked with already-prepared and easy-to-prepare food.

After grocery shopping, I washed and chopped some fresh vegetables and placed them in Ziplocks in the fridge; I threw some meat, vegetables and curry paste into the slow cooker and set it on high for three hours; while that was on the go, I made a pork and bean dish that can be modified tomatoes and spices (or not) as the week goes on.

We now have enough healthy options for the week ahead - but maintaining the discipline to prepare things every weekend is not very likely:-)
