Out of the Kitchen

I've not been posting lately because my Hubby is back home for the winter, and he typically does the cooking!  (I know, right?!)  Yes, I'm lucky.  It's nice to come home to a hot meal and not have to worry about anything but cleaning up the copious dishes and pots and pans the man goes through.

I will say this, however: There are a LOT of dirty dishes out and about in our household lately.  I can have the sink completely empty, and by the next evening, it'll be standing slap full a whole foot above the sink itself!  Now how does it DO that?!?  We save the plastic kiddie cups most restaurants use for children's beverages, and my boys will use them at meal times.  But we go through half a dozen or so of these things a day, especially on weekends!  And they start to show up in some of the strangest places around the house...

We're still trying to keep our meals healthy.  He's actually being very nice about accommodating my request to NOT cook everything in bacon fat!  LOL  I do kid.  We've been eating pretty healthy for years now, always trying to include vegetables when we can, almost never deep frying our foods except on rare occasions, and now starting to use cooking methods that help cut down on the fat and unnecessary calories.  And the new foods we've been trying are actually quite good, things even he and my carb-loving boys seem to enjoy!  So life's pretty good right now.

Anyway, I'll try and take pictures and post recipes when I do cook on occasion, or if Hubby fixes something particularly worth bragging about.  But in the mean time, I'll just grab my fork and head for the table to see what's for dinner.

Laters...
