Long Days and Good Food

I am an adventurous eater and I love food and to prove this I am adding pictures of food that I have eaten and loved so much I wanted to share.

Yummy Yummy Thai Food!

One of my favorite parts of eating, the desserts!

There is nothing worse in my mind than having an extra long day at work, then having to come home and cook! I am not a big fan of cooking in the first place, but the thought of coming home having to think of what to make, make it and then clean it up sends me into a dark spiral that is hard to get out of. Well, ok that was a little on the dramatic side but I have never said that I wasn’t dramatic!

Soups and noodles are so delish!

Most nights I try and find things that are super quick and easy to make. This tends to be food that is not the best for me though. I am trying to be better to my body and my checking account so I am working on not eating out. This leaves me in a bad position for a girl who doesn’t like to cook. Any thoughts or suggestions on what to make that wouldn’t be too difficult would be nice, yes this is a call out to those of you who are reading me, you are my only hope (that was for Nathan).

Sushi, Oh how I love you Sushi! I totally crave this all the time.

Good old burger and fries Nathan's favorite

I am trying the crock pot thing for tomorrow and will let you know how that works out, but that does require some prep work from me the night before so I am not sure how often it will happen.

Seafood is a favorite of mine and a dreaded dish of Nathan's

Fruit, it's so sweet it can't be good for me!

Here is to you food, my other other love! (First love being Nathan and second being Sir).

Cake, but not just any cake... our wedding cake was pear flavored and wonderful!

P.S. There were so many pictures that I have of food, me eating and others eating I am surprised that this is one of the first posts I have about food!!! I am sure that there will be plenty more where this came from too.
