Food Rut

I haven't done a food blog in over a month, so I really suck! It's not like I haven't been cooking anything. In reality, I have been cooking a lot. We have been really trying to cut down on how often we eat out. A to eat healthier and B to save money. We have actually been really good about it too. I have been cooking almost every night during the week and only eating out on the weekends. I also made this amazing coconut cream pie for Easter, but I didn't take any pictures of it before it was all eaten. I just guess that means I have to make it again! :)

I believe the problem is that, I think I am in a food rut. It seems as if, I have been making the same one of two things over and over again. I think one reason, is that we don't eat red meat very often. I don't think we do it on purpose either. I guess I don't really think about buying it, when I am the grocery store.

My goal is to make more items that don't include chicken and to buy vegetables that I don't normally get. I made some really good couscous tonight. I don't think I have ever made it for David. I cooked it in some chicken broth and added cooked onion and red pepper, cilantro and a little bit of diced jalapeno. It came out really good and David really liked it a lot. I will be definitely making that again.

I currently have these Cranberry Orange bars in the oven. If they come out good, I will hopefully blog about it tomorrow.....

Well I'm back and the cranberry orange bars came out really good! We went over to a friend's house and they are already all gone!

Anyways, that's it for tonight. Goodnight!
