What's Cooking - 01.16.12 Edition

Another year is here, and now I have yet another chance to plan healthy meals for my family. At least, thats my goal most of the time. We don't eat 100% organic, whole grain, gluten-free meals. I fully admit that there are days where I cook using canned foods, pasturized stuff, and/or even cream-based soups. 

When those days arrive and I need to get something ready in a flash, more often than not, it came from a can (at least partially). And... really, I'm totally okay with that.

Anyway... now that I've got that off of my chest... here's what I'm planning to serve my family this week:

•  CrockPot Thai Chicken Taco's - from January/February 2012 issue of Clean Eating Magazine
• Filipino Adobe Chicken with Brown Rice
• Crock Pot Roast Beef, Mashed Potatoes & Golden-Crusted Brussels Sprouts
• Baked Pork Chops with Broccoli Cauliflower with Garlic & Lemon
• Gyro Burger's with Tzatziki and oven baked french fries
• King Ranch Chicken with black beans and salsa rice

What are you making this week?

Jeanne Oliver (of Jeanne Oliver Designs fame) shared a post today about the things she sometimes wishes. It really was fun to read the things that she shared. She invited her readers to do the same. So with that... here are my "sometimes".

Sometimes I…………………..

...wish I didn't care about what other people think of me.

...want to be a Broadway performer.

...wish I had paid more attention in college.

...and more attention to things like debt and brilliant people.

...want to lay in my toasty bed, reading books instead of taking care of life.

...wish there was a way I could guarantee that nothing tragic would happen to Steve or Fred.

...want to really, REALLY, be able to play my guitar.

...and piano.

...wish I could go back to my 20 year old self, and smack the *&^%^ out of her, knocking her into reality (and out of stupidity).

...wish I loved to excersize.

.. or even enjoy being healthy. Really healthy.

...and not enjoy drinking Diet Coke so much.

...want to repierce my nose (for the third time!), and get a cool tattoo.

...wish I could somehow convince someone else to handle the yuck and frustration of potty training.

 ...wish I was more confident of myself.

...want to start completely over (but with my hot husband and smashing son).

....wish I had not experienced or seen so many wonderful things and historical events as a child and teenager.

...wish that I wasn't so blunt and sarcastic.

...wish I could create, and create, and create and have others just want to own it for themselves. :)
