FOOD

I love food. I love looking at food, smelling food, chewing food, swallowing food .... I love food. But, lately, I've been very bored with food. I have a ton of cookbooks (because I love cooking food), but nothing is jumping off the page at me, screaming, "Make me! Make me!"

And so, I haven't really been eating a lot these past few weeks. I nibble enough to keep myself nourished, and I manage to feed my children three meals and three snacks daily (although, it's been very boring food, and I really don't feel like making it).

So, here's the deal. I'm a lacto-ovo vegetarian (loosely; I could probably better describe myself as a picky eater whose tastes most mirror those of a lacto-ovo vegetarian). Basically, I eat all veggies (except Brussel sprouts - blech!), and egg and dairy products. I also eat ground turkey breast, and boneless, skinless, veinless, connective tissue-less chicken breast if I can prepare it myself so that it meets my specifications. I'm allergic to shellfish, so I avoid seafood like the plague.

And now, I will put my blog to work for me. If anyone has some yummy, quick and easy, not too expensive ingredient-wise recipes that will release me from my current food apathy, please post some recipes or some links to recipes that conform to my pickiness!!!!

i could easily become you. the thought of eating anything chewy and muscular makes me want to vomit. i unfortunately can't help unless you want dessert!

Well, nothing pops out in my mind right now but if I think of anything I'll get back to you. Don't forget about all of the recipes Ree has posted at Pioneer Woman (not only hers but about 5000 others from a giveaway she had a while back). I think you can find the link on her cooking page. I WISH I was bored with food!

Unfortunately for my hips and butt, about the only food that doesn't bore me is Ree's amazingly fantastic chocolate sheet cake!

Have you tried the Tutti-Frutti Turkey Salad from Elmo's cookbook? (I know you have it!) It's REALLY good. Of course, since my kids love it, yours will probably hate it. :) I'll email you my recipes for perogies and soft pretzels. I also need to send you my vegetarian lasagna. Yummmmmm!!!

Tanya, I tried it after you raved about it on the phone to me. And yes, my children hated it - ha ha!
