Resolution One, Check.

If I may say, we've been doing a very fine job of eating "closer to the ground."  Granted some things looked a bit like baby food. (Butternut squash soup last night--delicious, I might add). But all has been filling and fulfilling. 

I need to get better at not letting food go bad. 

Like this poor eggplant. If you could feel it, you'd know. 

So much for the Modified Eggplant Parmesan-ish dish I was planning. 
 

Like I was saying, yesterday we had Butternut Squash Soup. 

2 Squash (cubed), 1 potato (cubed), 1 onion (sautéed) , 3 cups water, 4 bullion cubes, 3/4 t marjoram, 1/2 t black pepper, 1/4 t cayanne pepper, 1 clove of garlic (my own addition, what's not better with garlic?).  

Boil until soft. Blend up in food processor or blender (with a few T of cream cheese-optional) until smooth.  {I microwaved my squash and potato to soften first--seriously cuts down prep time}

Botta bing. botta boom.   Serve with whole grain French bread. Not only with you be full after one bowl, but you'll be in love as well.

The night before we had Sweet potato & Black bean Burritos.  Yum.  It has been a healthy, largely vegetarian week.   

...Aside from the Kit Kat (Treat of the day brought home my Jason from the hospital! Cha Ching!)

Side note: This weekend is a full on "study weekend."  Jason's shelf exam is coming up. Always a bit of a long haul until test day. This rotation has been surprisingly good. Not sure if this means that the buckle down period will be a compensation of the last few months, but I'm hopeful!
