Now, let me start this off with a frustrating fact/confession:
I am THE WORST at meal planning.
I can try and try and try and try - but I still haven't seemed to get it down to a science....in spite of how much I love and crave structure in my life.

Here's another fun fact about me: I don't like to do things the way other people do them.
I've read about, researched, and talked to many people concerning meal planning and the "proper technique" for effectiveness. None of it makes sense to meee! I'm stubborn. I like to pick things apart and translate them into my own language...but I'm lazy too. Hehheh.

Maybe it's because I spend so much time reading my old cook books and thinking about new food ideas. Either way I'm just about at my wit's end.
I WANT TO MEAL PLAN, goshdarnit!
And I'm gonna do it if it kills me!

So what does this mean?
I don't have any clue --- yet.
But I DO know that I've got two kitchen journals brimming with my own food recipes, decent stuff that's easy to make, and yummy too. AND I've got a plethora of really fun vintage cookbooks that remain my biggest inspiration for the food I make. 
For starters I've GOT to GET BACK to my weekly food prep habit (Sundays and Wednesdays). I guess that's the best place to start.

I'm going to make this work. I really want to, for myself and for you all. I'm tired of having SO much amazing produce at my disposal but never doing anything structured with it! I don't mind monotony throughout the week where my meals are concerned --- and then having something wonderful and exciting on two (or even three) of those seven nights.

Previews of what's to come:
At the moment I've been playing around with a LOT of soup ideas. One the sis even labeled "Raw-men" soup. I've been focusing mainly on "quick and easy" recipes, which at the most will require the use of a food processor or high speed blender. My palate for the most part always seems to revolve around comfort foods (recreating those familiar dishes with a raw twist), acidic foods, and savory foods. At the moment I've been playing with lots of dark greens (massaged kale/spinach/chard, and broccoli) and thinking about warmed sauces to go
with them.


Another current favorite eats: Creamy Broccoli Soup

Heather, your excitement got me motivated and TOTALLY inspired!
I ran home on my lunch and perfected this recipe - I owe you thanks girlie. :)
So here it is...and I'm really excited about it!


Creamy Broccoli Soup - because raw soup should be amazing too!
