Now that the craziness of the holidays is over & our corporate office move is a thing of the past, I am making it my mission to cook more & eat out less. I have a wedding to attend on 1/28, so eating out will be inevitable on that day, but I plan to not eat out at all until the wedding...we'll see how this goes :0)
Today, I had a huge time grocery shopping for my Eating In event! While I know there will definitely be subsequent trips to the grocery store, I made a large dent in restocking my fridge with tons of fruits & veggies as well as healthy pantry items.
Although cooking at home has definitely been one of my major areas of focus for 2010, I am making a conscious effort to do it even more so in 2011.
Two of my culinary finds today are a 1.5qt slow cooker & a small deep fryer! I have been wanting both items for quite a while & am so thrilled to finally be able to add them to my kitchen. The smaller slow cooker will allow me to use it at work or to keep items warm - such as mashed potatoes, rice, etc. While I do like fried foods - mainly vegetables - I hate the actual frying process...thus the reason I have been wanting a small fryer. This one only holds a max 4 cups of oil & has a cover that you close until the frying is complete.
Fried zucchini & green beans, here I come...oh yes, and homemade french fries too! If I'm planning to not eat out, I might as well be able to get my fried fix at home, right???
There's nothing thing like setting yourself up for success :) I wish you luck with your January goals!
