wHOLly fit....

yikes.

well, if any of you have ever sat down to a meal with me, you’ll know that i love food. not  just like or enjoy, but i really love food in a “hold a radio over my head outside your window, unfortunate kind of way that makes me hate you." (name that pop reference....) 

i’m also married to someone who shares my love for food...though his preferences are a bit more limited than my own..my hubby is a meat-and-starch-only kind of guy. no casseroles. no seafood. no veggies. no kidding. and don’t even think about trying to sneak in a finely diced onion or a teaspoon of mustard. the man’s radar for cleverly hidden food is as sharp as his archery aim. 

from here on out in this blogging process, i shall refer to him as HG. mainly because he’s one heck of a Hunter Gatherer. if the apocalypse is ever upon us, i’m confident that i’d never go hungry due to his skills in both the forest and the kitchen.

many of the recipes that i’ll be making over the next few weeks will substitute venison for beef. venison is a tremendously lean meat and makes for a yummy stand-in when you’d like to use something a little different...and since it’s already in my freezer, it’s a cheap dinner option...plus, i need to make some room for this upcoming archery season. 

so here’s the plan, peeps:

this won’t be an artsy, step-by-step photographic type of food blog; nor will it be anything of culinary genius. i’m simply planning on posting what HG and i are eating for the week along with recipes. there’s absolutely no way we could make the jump to vegetarian or vegan. in fact, i’m pretty sure i could never make a single meatless meal.....unless it’s a huge dish of baked mac ‘n cheese...but our plans are to cut out white flours and sugars, probably gonna back off the dairy as well..and that seems attainable and reasonable. 

each week i’ll include one meal that takes a little more time to prep, simply because i enjoy cooking a sunday night meal; it’s relaxing for me...the other 4 meals each week will be 30 minute meals...because HG and i don’t get home from our jobs until around 8pm most nights and we’re hungry! 

and of course, i’ll also be posting some dessert options as well. 

remember, we love the food.

we’d just like the food to love us in return. 

so if this interests you at all, check in every now and again.  i’ll be posting next weeks’ plan soon.
