I am one to be big on resolutions, goal setting, actionable items, and constantly thinking about how to do better and be better. When I thought about my formal resolution for this year, one thing really stood out to me that will have ramifications in a lot of different areas of my life.
MAKE DINNER
That's it. That's my resolution. Confession-I hate to cook. I hate to doing mom jobs. I find no happiness or satisfaction in kitchen things. Because of this, Jason cooks. He loves it. He's good at it. But he's in nursing school and has zero time for that. I now have a child that eats people food. However, he rarely eats food I offer, and I feel somewhat responsible for that because I often eat random things like toast for dinner. Additionally, it fulfills my need to be fueling healthily for my run. Furthermore, this will help Jason with his fitness goals. Lastly, this may be an opportunity to have more family time on crazy week nights where two parents work.
Basically, I am wanting to cook a variety of meals on weeknights like normal moms do. I've never done this and am completely intimidated by it. This coming week will be my first go.
On the menu we will be having...
Taco Salad
with homemade salsa, avocado, and turkey meat
Baked Sweet Potatoes
Butternut Squash Soup
Steamed Veggies with Rice and Breaded Talapia
Not bad, right?
Wish me luck. In my world, this is a more challenging undertaking than running a marathon.
