New Year's food resolutions

the usual ones-eat healthier, exercise. but we also want to stop eating out just for convenience.  so i'm trying to cook out of our existing coffers. this lead to making phyllo kale and feta triangles for dinner the other night. i have no idea why i had phyllo in the freezer, but turns out its easy to work with.

also trying to have food on hand so we arent tempted to order out chinese. so i made 70! meatballs yesterday and froze them, to toss in sauce with pasta. Any other ideas for freezer meals?

Hey Sami, remember how we used to look thru the everyday food magazine every month? Well, I get my magazine in the mail this month along with a note that its the last one ever. They are cancelling the magazine! Boo, hiss.

Here's hoping your Thanksgiving isn't a dark fucking period! Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

The Fox Celery Bleu Cheese Slaw

Alex ordered a buffalo chicken sandwich for lunch. It came with this amazing slaw on it. It was a basic cole slaw, but with the addition of celery and Bleu cheese crumbles. So good!

I'm pretty sure this is both higher video quality and lower budget than the original. Also, you can follow Turkie on Twitter!
