Unfortunately, I don't think I have ever used any Goya products so they will not feel the pinch from me when I don't use them. I just want them to know they are not wanted at my house.
Speaking of food, I have decided to try to start cooking again. I haven't cooked-cooked in years. I can open a can, a frozen dinner, make a sandwich or cereal. Occasionally, I get on a breakfast craving and have eggs and bacon and Bisquick biscuits - that's cooking for me.
With the cost of groceries rising as well as my blood sugar levels, I decided to see if I could make a change in my habits. I will say on my own behalf that if you had to figure out 30 carbs and 15 protein with each meal you ate - you would hate the thought of fixing a meal too.
Anyway, I ordered a new crockpot and a couple of crockpot cookbooks and I will see how it goes. If you've ever cooked for one you know how boring it is and the amount of fresh food that can be wasted.
I never was a great cook or an imaginative cook or even really enjoyed cooking. So this will be a Pandemic as well as healthy/wealthy attempt at finding something to do. Wish me luck. Hahaha.

Good luck! Hope it’s more enjoyable than you’re expecting.
ReplyDeleteI think we are twins in the kitchen when it comes to cooking skills or lack thereof. Crockpot cooking is the most I ever do anymore. Can't wait to see what you come up with. I an shocked at how much my grocery bills have gone up.
ReplyDeleteI have a can of Goya beans in the cupboard and it will be the last of one. Ever. I cannot believe the president put out the ridiculous photo with all that's going on in world! His daughter did a prom for the company too. Steven Colbert added fart noises to it videos of her moving around, sitting, etc.
Good luck! Yes, cooking for one can be a bit of a drag.
ReplyDeleteSo know what you mean. Meals have become a chore. Guess it is time for me to shake it up also. Wish us both luck.
ReplyDeleteI bet you can find special, easy recipes online ( or in a cookbook) for diabetics.
ReplyDeleteYou only need a few.
I understand this because when I was told I had Celiac Disease I had to cook for myself. Rick now eats what I eat and that is so helpful. It's not easy but in all honesty you can do this. Roast some veggies on a cookie sheet (oil over and seasonings) - those are awesome with some protein on the side. Or throw veggies and a protein in the crockpot, like a chuck roast. You can eat that all week long. As a roast with veggies or sandwiches etc. Whatever you do, don't use Goya. I will not any longer that is for certain. I don't eat any process food from a box. It was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do so I wish you much luck. I don't eat sugar unless it is fruit or in something. I only use stevia as I am sure you do too. Stop by we'll cook together. :-)
ReplyDeleteBarbara, to simplify your life, you could easily throw a bunch of chicken breasts or thighs on a baking pan, season, and bake and you have a meat source for days (freeze some so you can have some later). A piece or two of chicken and some bagged salad on the side is an easy meal, and your blood sugar won't be an issue. Same with hamburger patties. Bake a bunch in the oven. Freeze what you won't eat right away. You could use the chicken or beef in recipes or eat them as is with a side or two.
ReplyDeleteAbout Goya, I support them. I don't think the CEO did anything wrong and doesn't deserve to be punished. In fact, I bought some Goya products in my last grocery order. Got some pink beans and pigeon peas. Never tried either of them and look forward to the adventure!
Take care!
