I recently resigned from my full time job to stay at home with our one year old. Things were getting crazy, and our entire life was logistics and planning, so it was a necessary move.
And, I'll admit, it was one of the best decisions I've ever made.
But it's been three weeks at home, and I'm slowly going bonkers. I almost look forward to the end of naptime some days so I can play with the baby again and have something to do.
Time for a new challenge!
I saw this commerical the other day while watching daytime TV (what else are you supposed to do when the baby is napping and you have mounds of laundry to fold?) and I thought to myself:
We eat a lot of chicken.
And I do the same darn recipes over and over again.
And now I have the time and the energy to try out new recipes.
And I'm just obsessive enough to do something like this.
And a blog can keep me honest and chugging away at my goal. (and maybe if I mess something up, a super smart cousin of mine can help me figure out why I burnt my *fill in random food item here* again... I do have many super smart cousins.)
And my husband is a good sport about trying weird new things, like the beet/fennel/kefir soup I made for lunch yesterday (which was actually sort of reasonably okay, but I probably won't make it again.)
SO! It has been decided. During the month of August 2011, I will attempt to make a different dish with chicken in it every single day.
It will be The Month of the Chicken.
