my day-to-day thoughts

i’m trying to cook with more natural ingredients and try to rid my body of icky toxins, like processed and refined foods.  refined..such an oxymoran, btw.  i’ve been making some progress.  i’ve cooked up some homemade tomato sauce with carrots, onions, celery, tomatoes, and garlic all blended up to a smooth and creamy consistency.  it was soo delicious.  i would never buy store bought ever again.  it was a tweak on giada’s simple tomato sauce recipe.  you have to try!  you won’t regret it.  and last night, i made my own concoction of a chicken noodle soup with some leftovers i had from the sauce.  just boiling some chicken broth that i made with the leftovers of a roasted chicken and chopping in veggies and shredded chicken and some cute little pasta that i don’t know the name of.  yum. 

cooking without using nasty processed food has been fairly simple for me…until hubs brings in diet coke from the office.  sigh…soda…tsk tsk.
