I am happy to report that today was a non-event kind of day. I spent time visiting my grandma in the home and then hit the store. When I came home I tried some new recipes and was happy to see how much less stressful they were when I wasn't making them starving to death. They were both very tasty and I also learned a little bit from each of them, this type of cooking is different for me so there is a bit of a learning curve. I did teach myself how to debone a chicken thigh and I felt like I did a pretty good job for never doing it before. It did make me decide that I need to get a good pair of kitchen shears though.
I am excited to get through this change of daylight savings and have longer daylight in the evenings. It means spring is coming and I am hoping I can get outside and soak up some sun. I also plan to have the family walking together after dinner to get us all moving.
I am really excited because I have a couple tools coming that I think will help make my meal discoveries more exciting. I purchased the Ninja Kitchen System 1100 from Kohls which was a great deal because I also used the code SHOWERS30 to get 30 % off. I can't wait to see what it can do. I have never used a food processor, it should be an adventure in itself.
I also purchased a food scale because I have been noticing a lot of the baking recipes with almond flour and tapioca starch are more precise than simply using cup measurements. I figure the better tools I have to help me be successful on this journey the better chance I have of sticking with it.
I think tomorrow I am going to try a carrot chip recipe a friend sent to me. I need something to snack on, I would love to hear your favorite healthy snack!
Progress: Still going strong
Notes: Don't forget the Kitchen Shears!
