In order to have less wasted food, and to try to stick to a “no-Dominos-pizza-because-I’m-too-tired-to-cook”, and ultimately be kinder to my bank account, I have gone back to meal planning and meal prep.
To be fair, I should never have stopped doing it because it’s harder to start once I stop, than it is to keep moving forward. But regardless, I am back to it.
For Christmas, my husband received a One Sheet Pan cookbook, where everything is cooked at once on the same sheet pan.
This was teriyaki steak tips and broccoli, with rice (rice was not made on the sheet pan) and turned out quite nice!
What do you do to make your life easier? Do you have a go to recipe?
Originally intended to simply focus on book reviews, over time, KaliDesautelsReads has morphed into its own entity.
I write about issues that are near to my heart, be they political, feminist, motherhood, mental health, or, as the title holds, books.
A thirty-something Canadian woman in my mid-thirties, I have been "super married" to my high school sweetheart since 2006, and together we have two crazy, clever, kind, hilarious, wonderful kids.
My first book - How Not To Blog: Finding Myself, One Post at a Time is available on Amazon (in eBook formats for you clever tech readers, and paperback for those of us who love that new book smell!)
I have tried a podcast - it's still on Apple and Google Podcasts - but writing is where my heart is.
My life changed dramatically when my husband was diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer in 2018, and I am now a writer for a leading Canadian Cancer Non-Profit.
I am lucky enough to have a family that loves me and pushes me to be my best, even if it is outside of my cushiony comfort zone. I have a village of friends that nourish me, mentally, and spiritually.
Welcome to my thoughts. Sit down. Stay a while. Enjoy a cup of coffee!
