Day 7– What’s your favorite thing to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner? Do you read food blogs or would you ever consider writing one?
Oh, man. Food. I love food. It is so good when you eat it.
I haven’t had breakfast today so I’m going to wax especially poetic on this one.
Breakfast – pancakes. Fluffy, delicious pancakes with melted butter and syrup. Obviously, buttermilk pancakes everyday are horrible for your arteries so I make Honey Bran (or Flax) pancakes that use whole wheat flour and honey instead of sugar. They get a little fluff from some baking soda and they are actually quite delicious. I also use canola oil instead of butter to help with the fats.
Lunch – Lunch is just lunch. I like a good sandwich but it isn’t a meal I put a lot of thought in to.
Dinner – Have I mentioned that I love pizza? I do. I’m working on perfecting my own dough so that pizza can be 1)cheaper and 2)healthier than ordering out all the time. G is my partner in pizza crime because she loves it, too, and will always agree with me when I say we should make pizza for dinner. Its good to have a two year old in your corner.
I read food blogs off and on. The only one I read with any regularity is the Barefoot Kitchen Witch. I’ve used several of her recipes and I think she just seems like fun. I used to read Julia’s (of Here Be Hippogriff’s) but I don’t think she’s still posting recipes.
I don’t think I could ever write a food blog unless it was to be about how much cooking stresses me out. I’m either worried that it won’t be good or that it will take too long or that I will have to chop too many vegetables (I do not like chopping. Or mincing. I hate mincing – it’s just extra chopping.). I am also somewhat notorious for not reading a recipe in its entirety before I begin to cook. This means that I often don’t give myself enough time or I find that I don’t have a piece of equipment necessary for the recipe. In order to combat this stress I’m trying to perfect a few dishes (read: pancakes and pizza).
I am so hungry right now, people.
I may have to check out Barefoot Kitchen Witch. I love looking at recipe posts, but they are a lot of work to do! I need to expand my horizons!
Thanks for the comments on my blog. My mothers group has outings with kids, and without kids. But the main focus of the group is supporting other mothers. I like this group’s online presence, and the group itself is fantastic. Since I work part time, I can do some of the things that stay at home moms do, so that is really nice. I have found that kids are a great ice breaker!
