3 good things

 1. i do not have to go to the supermarket

2. i do not have to spend money

3. i am not wasting what we have in our fridge

i am sometimes of the camp where i get bored with what i already have and when i start a new project, meal, anything - i need something new to make it as awesome as it should be.  if i want to knit something - in my mind its always better if i buy yarn specifically for the project.  if i make a quilt, i like picking out all new shiny fabrics. if i want to cook dinner, i ignore whats already in my fridge and trek to the store.  being 40 weeks pregnant, and the streets being covered with ice- this has forced me to be creative since i really really don't want to leave the house if i dont have to... walking is really painful and uncomfortable at this point and getting bundled up when you've got an additional ___ pounds attached to all angles just makes it that much harder.  so how happy was i when i was looking up new recipes and found something that i WANTED to make that i already had all the ingredients for - and its super easy!

thanks to my new favorite website: foodily.com.  its like an earth-wide search engine for recipes. ily foodily! i had extra brussels sprouts and thought "i want to eat these, but how!?" <--- internal monologue.   i thought i'd have to go to the store and find $45 worth of new things in order to make something delicious.  no no no! i found this perfect and totally yummy recipe from the blog, love and olive oil:

spaghetti with pancetta + brussels sprouts. (sans pancetta)

anyway. now that you know what i'll be eating for dinner, i know you're day is worthwhile.

you're welcome.

xo.
