Eat clean. Do it because it tastes so very good. I mean, it's nice to go to the grocery store and be told by the person behind you in line that you eat really healthy. Then it's not so nice to get your bill, because fresh is always more expensive than packaged, even when you don't buy meat because you only eat it on special occasions. But then you get home and have these kinds of meals:
Cauliflower soup
Rutabaga and potatoes sautéed in olive oil and garam masala (I made that one up myself)
Cucumbers in lime juice
Red peppers dipped in edamame hummus
Spaghetti squash with tomato-barley sauce
Green salad with four kinds of lettuce, shredded cabbage, and cilantro
Butternut squash soup, in vegetable stock
And finally, do it because it feels classy to eat a meal of vegetables whilst sitting in a clean apartment decorated with glass vases full of purple flowers.
That's what I do. I don't have a social life, but I sure have a culinary life.
I have a social life, but I'm a little envious of your culinary life. The best I could do this week was Chicken Kiev (which is always delish, btw). You should invite people over to partake of your culinary genius!
ReplyDeleteI will invite them over as soon as I know them :)
ReplyDeleteOr maybe I will invite them over when I think it is an opportune time for them to travel across half the country to come visit me.
ReplyDeleteAnd today I made cucumber avocado soup. Yum.
