Writers Block

As i was looking for pictures for all sorts of blocks, i realized i actually had something to write!!!

Last night I made dinner which you can check out my recipe for the broccoli cheese sauce on yesterday's blog or just click here mmm doesn't it look good:

While I was cooking dinner last night,  I stumbled upon  Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution on BBC, basically he's trying to get processed foods out of US school cafeterias and trying to use fresh foods all in the name of fighting obesity.  Doesn't First Lady Michelle Obama have a similar program? she does it's called letsmove.gov which is more about exercise than food, and Jamie Oliver is more in people's faces. I love how he calls it child abuse when kids bring their own lunch and it's JUNK-blue jello, potato chips, those little boxes with the meat and cheese and crackers.....BLEH

So anyway, I'm watching this show and i'm making my dinner-all from scratch and it takes me about 45 minutes. Doesn't take very long and my dinner only came out to about 800 calories..i know, i know eek right? well i had two pieces of chicken instead of one...hehehe..i was hungry. the potato alone was only 388 calories and that's including my own cheese sauce! Anywhoo, the show was all about eating fresh and healthy and keeping processed foods out of schools to eliminate obesity. I smiled. I didn't use anything processed. My food was fresh. And that's how it should be.

I love food and i've also had weight issues because of it, but it's because i didn't know how to eat right. Sure I still go out to eat once in a while,  but i stay away from fast food joints or items on the menu that would increase my cholesterol by 3000 points-so not worth it.. Eating at home can be better than going out, I prove it to Gerr every time I make dinner and in turn he proves that to me when he makes homemade french fries. OH yum.

I really hope schools do make a change. I don't want my kids hooked on boxed chicken nuggets and french fries. Carrots, ranch dressing, homemade nuggets sure...but not crap.  I remember eating cafeteria lunches and really nothing impressed me, except for hot dog day-i like sauerkraut and their pork and beans,  but that was it.

So what's for dinner tonight? hmmm. i'm not sure. maybe something italian, i've got some lean ground beef to eat. :)

Have a good day!!!

wow this blog is sucking today...I have nothing to write about....should i stop while i'm ahead or keep tormenting you with sentences and phrases that a first grader could write?

 i want a muffin...doesn't a warm muffin sound yummy? With a little pat of butter???mmmm

I think i feel a cooking craze coming along. I want to play with food...which is a good thing, because lately i've been bored....I have a bit of a break from my honey bunny for a few days, so maybe i'll come up with something delicious. hmmm, maybe some tomato soup with Basil and cream? OR creamy broccoli soup. I have some broccoli in the fridge that i have yet to eat. I don't really want to make soups because it's warm and making a tiny batch for me is a waste. Ok, so I need to use my broccoli...what about a baked potato with a cheesy broccoli sauce and a chicken breast??? By George, I think i got it! So how will i make the cheesy broccoli sauce you may ask??? Well since i'm terrible at writing comprehensive recipes i can only describe it to you...so here goes:

***Bake Potato or Boil it and then bake it. I'll probably just boil it, because it's faster. Then i'll make a rue-think butter and flour to make a bit of a paste-add milk (whole or cream) stir to break up the little paste ball you created and break that baby up. Add cheddar or whatever cheese and watch your cheese sauce take form! add salt, pepper for taste. Now, this is without the broccoli, but what i'magonnado is put the broccoli in a blender (just the little trees) and make little chunks, when i've added the milk, i'm going to add the broccoli and then continue with the process per above. ***

ok yum. and now i'm excited about dinner.  maybe i should add some bacon????

look what i found!?

So who likes the new No Doubt song?

I love No Doubt. I have loved every twist and turn in their musical career and so far I like the new song. If you haven't heard it yet, here's your chance to hear it and watch the video!

I'm really happy they're all back. I can't wait for the album to come out! 

Why do the hours sometimes go so slow? 

You'd think it was a different hour but that's not so. 

Watching the clock-tick tock, tick tock.....

ok seriously that's all i got for today...oh wait I checked out zennioptical.com and ordered myself an extra pair of glasses. 30 bucks!! All you need is your prescription from your eye doctor. Super cool. Can't wait to see them!
