Make the Bread, Buy the Butter<\/a> inspired me to take this goal a bit further for the month of February.<\/p>\nThis February, I will not eat mass-manufactured snacks at all. No crackers, pretzels, goldfish, granola bars. None of that stuff.<\/p>\n
My intention isn’t to be ridiculous and annoying about it. I will not be rude for a project. However, I suspect that this will make me a tad more mindful of what the heck I’m eating.<\/p>\n
For example, this morning, yesterday I was packing my lunch and I had decided to take this lentil salad I made recently. Another day I might have grabbed some crackers to go \u00a0with that, but not today. Instead (in my morning rush) I grabbed a couple stalks of celery instead. Yay!<\/p>\n
I am not saying that I am going all anti-sweets. If I bake cookies or a cake or something, I promise that I am going to eat (some of) it and enjoy the heck out of it. In fact, right now, four cookies are cooling on the pan from a batch that I mixed up a couple weeks ago, scooped into cookie shapes and froze for an evening like this.<\/p>\n
We’ll see how this goes!<\/p>\n
