it's been awhile...

wow, have i really been away from my blog for almost a year? consistancy is NOT my strong suit.

i haven't been away because i haven’t been eating. on the contrary, i’ve been eating…a lot! quantity-wise, calorie-wise & fat-wise. my waistline is showing the signs and it’s time to save the really yummy food for special occasions & just eat ‘clean’ again.

the problem there-in is $$$. the boyfriend moved out & away went help with all the bills. i’m back to footing expenses on my own & paying off a mound of debt so the pantry is a little bare these days.

i KNOW you can eat healthful food on a budget but isn’t it so much easier to grab a couple 99 cent burritos at taco bell or a few items of the mc donald’s $1 menu?

yeah, it is but i have to buy good food & get crackin in the kitchen! chicken or mild fish baked with tomatoes, lemon juice, spinach, capers & crushed green olives. chicken, veggie & lentil soup, huge salads with loads of fresh veggies topped with tuna.

i can do it. right?
