Lately

Well, I’ve been waiting to order a new journal to write in, but I just never seem to get around to it, and my life is passing me by without my keeping a record of it.  I thought I’d better do a catch up before I forget too much.  I can’t actually remember what I’ve [...]

Menu Plan Monday…late again, and getting a toddler to eat what we eat

I was going to paste this yesterday- but just as I was going to publish my internet froze up and I had to force quit. Bleh! It was a good post too. I’m going to try and duplicate it.
So I haven’t posted on MPM in a while- not that we [...]

The green smoothie experiment…day 12

Well, I’m sure you’re all curious (or not) to see how my challenge to myself is coming along.

Menu Plan Monday…on Tuesday

Yesterday was a whirlwind day and I was so busy that I didn’t get to post my menu…though I did plan it out. I’ve found that when I post I’m more likely to follow through with my plans. So here’s to this week

This week should be fun. Jonathan is doing really well with potty training and we are all so excited about that. He should have it down pat within the next week. So my meals this week are pretty easy/no fuss. If you came to my house right now you could witness the [...]

The power of 30 days, and some really cute aprons

This steve pavlina dude is unbelievable. I mentioned a while back about self discipline and how I’m working it in to my life (or not). I also mentioned steve and his website in that same post. Since I found his site- I have found myself frequenting it more and more. He [...]

My first green smoothie

I’ve always been interested in nutrition and healthy eating. Since I had baby boy back in November my habits have been less than ideal- specifically after dinner time. I could lay a lot of blame on my husband since he encouraged some of my “bad behavior” with eating ice cream every night after [...]

Menu Plan Monday

Apricot Chicken, Quinoa, Asparagus
Mexican Lasagna, Salad, Green Jello Fluff
Homemade Pizza, Veggies
Cheesy Chicken Tortellini, Salad
Baked Potato Bar (Broccoli, Cheese, Sour cream, Ham, Eggs, Chili)
Tostadas (lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, salsa, sour cream, avocado)
Beef Stir Fry over Brown Rice (or barley)

Head on over to Laura’s for more great ideas.

Menu Plan Monday

This week is going to be a BUSY week around here. Last week I bought this Peppercorn Melange and I thought it would be a tasty way to be a little more “gourmet”. Normally we stick with the regular black peppercorns, but they didn’t have any of those on the shelf. Needless [...]
