mmmm....

we're trying to eat more healthy (or is it healthier?) in our household.

so much so, that we've started a 'diet' of sorts.

so far, the mr. has lost about eight pounds in three weeks.

me on the other hand?  two.

i'm blaming it on the birth control.

okay, i may or may not have eaten a piece of cake when i shouldn't have.

but only one.

i heard of this blog, our best bites, about six weeks ago.

i found out they were publishing a cook book.

i happened to see that cook book one day in costco.

kristen someone who shall not be named may have not helped when i was trying to talk myself out of it.

"the mr. won't be mad, because it benefits him too."

so i broke down and bought it.

tonight, we had garlic balsamic asparagus out of the cookbook.

i didn't think i liked asparagus.

in fact, i was sure i didn't like it, but mainly because of this.

it. was. yummy.

and it was easy.

that's all i need in a recipe.

later this week:  sweet and sour meatballs (not the recipe on the blog) and grilled potatoes and onions

 i can't wait!
