It's been a while...

I haven't posted in quite a while - things have gotten ridiculously busy with work picking up speed, A going through far too many ear infections, and trying to declutter the house. I'm hoping to make a concerted effort to keep up regular posts though in hopes that it will keep me encouraged to cook and eat healthier. A few updates, A is now able to eat more table foods and wants whatever is on my plate but is still allergic to dairy so I'm still working on meals w/ no dairy for him that are appealing to the rest of the household.

So a few ideas in the works:

Breakfast sandwiches (aka hockey pucks)
Light english muffin
1 egg, or egg white
1 slice Canadian bacon
1 tbsp of shredded reduced fat cheese

Doesn't have the satisfaction (or the heartburn) of a greasy puck from mcDonald's but it works pretty well to be portable for work and hold me through the morning w/o snacking. I'll try assembling a few and seeing how they hold up to being pre-made and refrigerated or frozen and reheated.

I'm also looking forward to grill season. It means i'm doing less cooking and cleaning as the grill is hubby's demesne and my job is to just prep the meat and veggies w/ whatever marinades and seasonings sound good.
