Eco-challenge #14 - HuffPost's "The Week of Eating In" - JOIN US!
Post by dina in BabySteps
February 20, 2010
I don't cook. No, really. I don't. So, why on earth am I excited for this week's challenge? Because the entire MightyNest team is going to join me on this one! We have chefs and non-chefs in our ranks - so this should be very interesting. Wanna join us??
Details, details...
Starting on February 22, Huffington Post is sponsoring "The Week of Eating In" Challenge.
From HuffPost: "For seven days, we'll invite you to take a pledge to eat in, aka COOK all of your own food for a week. There are no complex rules to follow. Just sign up below so that we can communicate with you, and pledge to do the week by letting your Facebook friends and Twitter followers know what you are up to."
If you're like me, you may be asking yourself - wait - WHY AM I DOING THIS?? Well, for one, cooking your own food is a money saver and probably a great way to eat much healthier. HuffPost also believes it is a fun "consciousness-raising activity" - or in other words, if you cook it, you'll probably be more aware of where it came from, which is a good thing.
So - are you in? To sign up, visit Huffpost, read more about the challenge and if you're in, take the pledge via Facebook or Twitter. Throughout the week, they'll be providing how-to's on everything from how to not waste food to great winter recipes so make sure you take the pledge so they know where to reach you.
Also, don't forget to comment here on this MightyNest post so we know you're joining us. We'll also be be following up on our progress here on the blog and on our Facebook page and Twitter feed all week. I might even get Kristen to share a few recipes.
Come on...it will be fun.

I was inspired by Jason's taco-making so tonight I made fish tacos for Holt and veggie tacos for me. Another successful day!
Go, Dina. I love that you don't cook. I try. But not as hard as I could and I don't like it, most of the time. The only thing I like is that I can listen to NPR, maybe for a half of a second before someone says,
"Mommy, I need (fill in the blank)."
Good luck!!!

Here's our account of the week so far...
Good luck Jason, Are you making Leah tofu tacos?
We are so in and off and running. Kristen made a great Chicken last night and she did it with Merrick (our 2 year old) on her back in the ergo. He hasn't been in that in a while. I guess he just wanted in on the action. Pics and more details to come!
We are all-in on this challenge. Tonight's the night I step up to the plate to cook up some Taco Tuesday! Everyone wish Leah luck ;-)
As I laid down on my kitchen floor after getting sick (ah, the joys of pregnancy) I almost caved and said forget it. But I got a second wind, stood up and made my lunch after all! PB & J here I come!
