Growing up, when my family would vacation we would inevitably get into ridiculous situations. Dad would always say "just four idiots on vacation." Though he'd say idiots in front of my sister and I, to Mom he'd mutter under his breath "two a-holes." As Aslyne and I begin yet another bizarre adventure together, it seemed only appropriate that we adopt the phrase...just two a-holes trying to slow cook.
We always try to recommit to being healthy...we've tried the South Beach, Weight Watchers...you name it. But, ultimately, we always get off track because of our busy professional lives. There's no use denying it, we're workaholics...two a-holes addicted to work. We never make enough time for ourselves or we make excuses as to why we don't.
Recently, my insomnia-laden Pinterest spree led me to a blog post about once-a-month freezer cooking. It seemed really impressive. The woman spent an entire day preparing meals to freeze for her family so that she could throw them in the slow cooker and avoid the unbearable amount of preparation time, cleanup and shopping that comes with having to get creative in the kitchen every night. I was impressed and intrigued. And as usual, I volun-told Aslyne she was impressed and intrigued, too.
While I was in awe of this woman's prowess and innovation, I knew we'd want to find recipes that included lots of real food and skewed more healthy. More Pinterest. More Google searching. More blogs. We found an amazing blog (Mama and Baby Love) and purchased her awesome e-cookbook. Those recipes and some others we found piecemeal are the beginnings of this journey...the journey of Snark and Smirk...two a-holes cooking up a new lifestyle? We'll see...
