menu plan monday: 04.22.13
I decided to wave the white flag this week and sign up for 3 months of eMeals. I’m so totally out of ideas and lacking in kitchen inspiration right now, and that generally leads to lots of eating...

Lazy Vegetable Falls Slaw
Props on the name for this one go to my 4 year old nephew, who actually calls it a fruit fall salad…but there’s no fruit. He’s a big fan of watching while I prep this, and most anything else I do in...

June Goals
Goodbye, May. Quite frankly, you sucked. Most of the month was spent in a flare up of…something. My May goals got lost by the wayside of twitches and muscle aches and pains and cramps and mental...

big mistake
Remember that scene in Pretty Woman? The one where Julia Roberts goes back to the boutique that wouldn’t help her and tells the rude salesperson, “Big mistake. Big. Huge.“? It’s one of my favorite...

I’m not even going to look back and see when the last menu plan was. It’s been too long. We’ve had an annual church conference, Vacation Bible School and we moved two and a half hours away in the last...

I tripped up…
It was one heck of a long road trip… over 6000 miles, all in all. From Sutter Creek, CA to North Ridgevill, OH for a family reunion. Then the long way home through Niagara Falls, NY, Kentucky Bourbon...

Remember that whole clean eating, moderation thing the Lord and I hashed out? Turns out…my concept of moderation tends to slide. So does clean eating. What started out as a piece of bread once in a...

It’s been too long without a menu plan! Between that and 3 weeks of passing a cold around, our budget is in seriously sad shape (as are our waists!). Time to buckle down. I’m starting a Whole24 today...

On to week two of this Whole24. I have to say, it’s going really, really well. I had some insane fatigue days 3 to 5, but that’s starting to lift. The bloating in my stomach has gone down quite a bit,...

Mango Chicken Meatballs
Confession: growing up, I didn’t eat very much ground meat other than tacos. I think I’ve shared that before, but I really didn’t. Burgers, meatloaf, meatballs…it didn’t matter what it was or who made...

How is it already Monday already? I seriously need it to slow down just a little bit. I’m still eating Whole30 style, though I did blow it last week. I’m okay with it – I’ve done three perfect ones and...

I’m late to the kale salad bandwagon. I eat cooked kale because I know it’s good for me. But it’s not my favorite. Which made me a little bit hesitant to try it raw. And I wish I hadn’t waited so long...
