Culinary Sabotage!

Day two for my blog and there's already a snag in production.

As I was preparing to head to the store before beginning the Mexican Meat Pockets (attempt number 2), I thought I would check with my dear hubby to see if there was anything he wanted me to pick up.

Me: I'm heading to the grocery store. Would you like anything?
Hubby: Get some of those vegetable soups. I want to start eating them to get down on my weight.
Me: Well, I can make homemade vegetable soups.
Hubby: No, I'll just take the canned soups.

Now, knowing my hubby, I highly doubt he was intentionally trying to sabotage my blog. Considering he was exercising right before I asked him, I'm sure he was legitimate in his desire to lose weight. However, where does that leave my blog?! I could easily pop out some recipes for healthy meals. That's not beyond my culinary capabilities (There I go tooting my own horn again -- I knew I should have taken that second semester of band class).

I think the major fear he has is that should I cook a healthy meal and cook more than the appropriate portions for everyone, he will end up overeating. Well if that's the case, I can crack a good whip down. So perhaps that will be the focus of this blog.. easy, healthy, yummy meals, and the difficulty of putting that damn spoon down after. But oh what will I ever do with the stock pile of bacon I have?!

With all that said and the decision to eat healthier (whether or not it's easier) out of the way... I regret to inform you that Mexican Hot Pockets will not be made tonight, yet again. Here's to hoping that the third time will be the charm. The good news, however, is that I have already bought the ingredients for Epic Beast Mode Brownies, Sweetly Spiced Bacon Wrapped Chicken, and my great-grandmother's recipe for Chicken and Peas. All of these will be popping up in the next week.

Thanks for bearing with me on our already rocky start to culinary baby juggling!
