Well, apparently Osama bin Laden is finally dead. That's awesome :) and so exciting! But who will take his place?
Lol I am not actually going to delve into this topic. Figured I would mention it though. No, I am so hungry so I am going to talk about food!

My mom always said that she wanted to write a cookbook with me but I didn't get my shit together when she told me to so we never worked on it. I have her recipe book though now and a good idea of what to write about. I am sitting here hungry because I don't know what to feed myself. I just started working out seriously so I am on a diet. But I need this to be something I can do for a long time, not the strict stuff that my friend Rebecca follows. So my concept is simple: healthy, cheap meals that you can cook without major facilities.

I'm keeping a list of food that I have successfully made. Its actually pretty long even though I keep making the same things. Right now, I need meals that have protein, vegetables and minimal carbs. Thats hard cuz most of my meals have carbs about even with protein. I need more vegetables but I like such limited vegetables... And if I see more peas and carrots... Ehhh. So my options are looking like vegetable soups (homemade tomato soup, butternut squash soup...) and pasta sauce (on meat maybe? Lol). And homemade chili. I have a recipe for meatless chili but I like beef in my chili. I made enchiladas last week but that was pretty much all I ate that week so if I see another enchilada...

So that's my idea but so far, I have a longgg way to go. It would be helpful if I actually had my mom's recipe book here but I left that at my dad's house x.x My main question is: what is a vegetable and bow can I make it so I want to eat it for a week?


That's all for now. My dinner calls. At some point, I have to remember to write more about my religion.
