Since we’ve been on the topic of food lately, I have a confession to make:
I really don’t like to cook.
For those of you who know me personally, I’m sure it’s no surprise. Cooking has always been a struggle for me. As soon as I get on a roll, I get in a rut.
I begin with great intentions.
• I get together my recipes…some new and some old.
• I take a pantry inventory and make my grocery list.
• After my trip to the store, I put away the groceries and keep my recipes out to use.
I typically cook the first few of my planned meals, but as the week progresses and schedules change, I end up with ingredients and leftovers in the refrigerator that I don’t use.
That’s where I am now.
Once again, my refrigerators (yes, two of them) are full of food that’s probably growing it’s own food by now.
Today’s prescriptions verse is from Proverbs 31—you know, the “perfect woman” chapter of the Bible. This particular verse pretty much flattens my toes and really should be rewritten for me to say:
She does okay looking to the ways of her
household and tries not to eat
the bread of moldiness.
For those of you who cook every night and actually keep your fridge in good shape, you get this week off…or you can get motivated and make another change you’ve been thinking about. Leave me a comment if you do; it might be a change I need to make too!
For those of you like me, today’s “make a change Monday” is to clean out the refrigerator—and make an attempt to keep it that way.
And, so you don’t open the refrigerator door and stare blankly, here’s the link to my delicious stack of great articles to tell you what to do: Rescue Your Fridge…And Your Family!
Time to get busy looking to my household.
…And my moldy bread!
From my heart,
Celeste
