I am telling you --- I love to cook but hate to plan. Which is funny because I am such a planner in so many other ways. I just find that once the weekend rolls around the last thing I want to do is sit down and plan meals, go grocery shopping and cook. Again, I'm sure that I could and should find the right time for me to commit to this........but I am in a funk right now. So........

Have you heard of pepperplate.com ??? AMAZING. One of my vendors.....the woman who created SoYoung --- a cool lunch box/cooler/backpack company --- and a mother of three, gave me this tip. Turns out a few of my friends use this already. I haven't completely gotten into the swing of things, but I did load a few recipes and printed out the shopping list last week. I wanted to do something different with salmon --- so I decided on a lime butter sauce. Aside from the caloric intake --- it was delish.

I also took the opportunity to try out the garlic press produced by a new line I'm carrying -- SAVORA. Worth every penny --- fits several cloves, easy to use, easy to clean and has a nice weight to it......
