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.
Spicy.
Chili is supposed to have a kick. Chili is supposed to be hearty and mostly healthy and filling and...

We're Back!
I got sidetracked for a while. some of that time was sidetracked as well from AIP, some of that time was filled with AIP goodness and no time for blogging.
Let's see how long I can stay this time!
So, I've been up since 8a and it's 10:30a and several meals for the week are done. Amazon Fresh delivered some groceries today at 9a and yesterday, my husband and I went out to see what we...

How To Have the Very Best Salad
I just ate the greatest salad ever. EVER. In the history of lettuce, this was an epic moment. I probably should have taken a "before" picture, but I was really starting to get crazy hungry (I believe the proper term for this emotion is "hangry"). It didn't last long.
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....

Highlights From the First Week
I've been following AIP for six days. Tomorrow is day seven and I'm excited to embark on another week. As I sit down and meal plan each Saturday for the upcoming week, it will be nice to also reflect on the past week.
Some highlights:
a) turning down Nutella cookies at work... because Nutella is probably the greatest thing ever invented.
b) Coconut Milk Green Tea Latte - still doing research...

The Beginning
April 9th, 2016 - Mr. and Mrs. Collins
This seems like an appropriate place to start.
This is me and my husband, Eaic. This picture represents so much to us. It represents our union as one and our vows to each other. It also represents both the beginning and an end to journeys...
