I have this amazing kid in my life named Danielle. She is part daughter, part best friend, and all dogsitter. When she's around, my dogs clearly prefer her. She is my lifeline to being able to do the Army Reserves training, since she's going to live in my house and take care of the dogs while I'm gone. She is also a vegetarian, and shall we say, "cooking challenged". She's trying to eat healthier and in an effort to help her, I'm going to start the Danielle's Cookbook project. It will be a notebook of low fat, high protein, quick and easy vegetarian meals and snacks with lots of photos and step by step instructions for a beginner. I'm really excited! Several of the meals I do for myself can be (and have been) modified for a vegetarian, and I've already come up with some new ones in my head that I need to try out on her. Luckily, she's not a picky eater. I also got a new Weight Watchers cookbook which has inspired a few new dishes. I love cookbooks, and tend to collect them like crazy, but I never actually follow the recipes. I always modify them to fit my needs. But it's fun to browse through them for inspiration now and then.
Today I made biscuits, which are amazingly good, but not anywhere near low fat and healthy. Oh well. I had 4 anyway. Hopefully the roommates will eat the rest quick before I'm tempted again. They throw off my entire day of healthy eating! Of course the chocolate cake in the fridge for my roommate's birthday isn't helping matters either. But that should go fast also. Personal trainer and running tomorrow! Looking forward to the running, even though it's gonna hurt, I'm ready for a new challenge.
