It's all I can do to whip up more than peanut butter toast most evenings; by the time I get home from work, walk the dog, sit down for a few minutes to rest my back, check my email....it's at least 7:30 PM.
As my son works "afternoons", 3-11 PM, I am always on my own for supper.
Sometimes the muse can't even get me up on my feet, and peanut butter toast it is. Sometimes I get a craving for something and stop at the grocery store to pick up the ingredients...that puts supper back to about 8-8:30 PM...sometimes I just stop at Wendy's or KFC, or the pizza joint. I try to keep that to a minimum.
But...here was Sally's prompt:
"Everyone looks at food differently, but we must admit that we all have some type of connection to food.
What seems like a simple plate of food can turn out to be so much more. Food can bring us together, affect our well-being, and bring us comfort when sad. So this week I ask you to capture a photo of: What 'ya eatin?"
This was the one day I cooked for myself this last week....and here it is!
A chicken and cheese burrito, grilled in the pan.....with organic salsa from Costco (yummm) and no-fat sour cream
and salad from Costco that had greens, cranberries, nuts, and feta cheese
That's about as good as it gets, I'm afraid! Despite the 232 recipes I currently have pinned on Pinterest...
Hope the rest of you have some wonderful recipes for me to drool over! Maybe I might actually cook something. *g*
Well you may not have cooked it, but it sure looks good! I can't resist cutting out recipes whenever I see something that sounds yummy...
ReplyDeleteLori, the burrito and salad look yummy!
ReplyDeleteHey, that looks so good, you should be proud of your accomplishment!
ReplyDeleteIf it makes you happy and fills you up it's good food
ReplyDeleteThat is looking scrumptious to me!! I had cereal for supper tonight because it is way too hot to cook.
ReplyDeleteYour burrito and salad look good. I like to read and clip recipes, even if I never get around to making them.
ReplyDeleteMmmm, that look's beautiful as well as yummy!
ReplyDeleteLove your photo of yummy food! No need to break your back over this!
ReplyDeleteoh, the burrito looks tasty! - michelle, #15 this week
ReplyDeleteWhat we would do without Costco... I go for lunch and cruise the sample booths. I actually dislike cooking .. I can do peanut butter on toast though! Your buttito looks yommy!
ReplyDeleteLori your burrito looks tasty. Good for you for choosing no fat sour cream.
ReplyDeleteThat looks yummy! I had to laugh at the number of pins you have. I collect cookbooks and read them like I would a novel. But rarely do I make a dish from any of them.
ReplyDeleteOf course the running joke is "If Mom has 732 recipes pinned on Pinterest why am I eating a HOTDOG?" lol
ReplyDeleteLOL...peanut butter and toast...my breakfast every morning! Can totally relate to your story and what a lovely pic of your creative meal!
ReplyDeleteThis looks quite tasty actually, but the peanut butter toast sounds pretty good too if you ask me! :-)
ReplyDeleteThat looks sooooo good! Great photographs too.
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to cook for one person, so I get ya.
ReplyDeleteOooh it does look yummy
ReplyDeleteThat looks great, Lori. One of my guilty pleasures are heating up a frozen burrito and having non-fat plain yogurt and salsa in every bite. : )
