10 Pathetic Excuses Explaining the Recent Lack of Posts

1. We had a 48+ hour power outage and therefore, no Internet access for awhile.

2. I'm officially an Avon representative now and it's taking up a lot of my time. I've been relying on a lot of my go-to recipes and not trying new ones out.

3. I'm trying out a low carb diet right now. Yeah, we'll see how long that lasts...

4. We bought a grill around Mother's Day so a lot of our meals have consisted of burgers, brats and the vegetarian equivalents. Add a fruit tray and a bag of chips and you have yourself a meal. That's not exactly blog worthy in my eyes.

5. My casual couponing has taken a more extreme turn lately and now I spend a lot of Caroline's naptimes organizing my coupons for my next shopping trips. It takes longer than you'd think.

6. I opted to make Caroline's baby food instead of using the jarred stuff. Although this is cost effective and a healthy alternative for her, it does take up some of my time. Man, these excuses are just getting weak...

7. I attempted one recipe, Ham and Cheese Sliders, that just didn't make the cut for this blog. Although I know that even the best chefs in the world have mishaps in the kitchen, it was still frustrating. Maybe I'll give that one another shot soon.

8. I had originally set a goal to update the blog 2x a week with new recipes. I skipped a week for some reason (can't really remember why now..) and never got back on track.

9. I'm lazy and completely unmotivated at times. Sometimes, a girl just needs to spend her free time vegging out in front of the TV watching The Office rather than being productive.

10. I kind of ran out of fresh, new ideas for recipes to be honest. Please comment this post with a challenge for me -- name a meal/dish that has meat in it and I promise I will at least attempt to cook it!

My promise to you is that I will have at least one new recipe posted by this time next week. Hopefully two. If you come visit my blog in a week and this is the most recent post, you have my full permission to come to my house and give me a swift kick in the pants. Seriously, apparently I need it.
