Easy Like Sunday Mornin'

As I prepare for my cooking marathon tomorrow, some have asked me why I devote an entire day to cooking.  And what it's like to plan and prepare an entire week's worth of food. Why Sunday? Well, usually I have nothing going on during Sundays, except for Football.  There are the occasional weeks when I need to be flexible and do more on Saturday or throughout the week, but Sunday is traditionally...

I Miss Spicy Food

As I sit at work, eating my chili, which is really good, by the way (recipe here), I am struck by the fact that it is... bland.  It is as flavorful as it should be and it isn't horrible, but there's something missing.  Something that it took me a second to put my finger on.

So, you want to know how to have a similar experience?  Even if you don't, I'm about to tell you how....

Week #2 in Review

Week #2 was hard.  I had my three biggest setbacks.  In two weeks, it can be quite disappointing to have already experienced them, but I also see them as an opportunity to learn and to reinforce my reasonings for doing this protocol. On Tuesday, I overindulged in half a loaf of freshly baked toasted sesame bread from ShopRite.  I don't regret it, as it was simply delicious.  I,...

#fail

... and just like that, my streak ended. I had an event today for the opening of a new store. It was a catered meal and an PR moment where they highlight the pantries and soup kitchens where they're already donating food... and I did SO good. went for a plain salad, picked out the tomatoes, no cheese, roasted veggies, some steak... and then they had bags and bags of fresh bread for the pantries....
