Day 7, tired of cooking
I've got a busy week coming up. We've had a sick house this week. I needed to do some serious cooking this weekend. Get some main dishes made up ahead.
On Saturday I spent so much time cooking food for our detox and a couple of meatloaves for easy kid meals when they don't like our food, and making some cough syrup (and all the usual things), that by dinner time I was too exhausted to serve a vegetable. Kids had meatloaf, we had chicken and black bean stew. If I hadn't had a bunch of veggie sticks and dilly beans in the fridge for the kids, I'd have cried.
This isn't the first time something like this happened.
I'm looking forward to the week ahead. This real food crusader gets a break from cooking. 2 meals a day are coming from a package. A detox smoothie. Medical food. That used to totally gross me out. But now it sounds like bliss. No thinking about food, no planning, fewer dishes. I just get a break from food. I'm going on a food retreat for 2 weeks.
I will also complain miserably about the smoothies in a few days. But I can do that.
