A Menu of Plants

Life is running along quite quickly.  It would have been tough week getting nutrition if I didn't have a prepped and stocked fridge.  Because I took the time to chop and store veggies and fruits for the week I was successful in eating healthy, nutritious food everyday. Breakfast looked like this every day: I would… Continue reading A Menu of Plants

Fail to Plan, Plan to Fail

Food is no longer entertainment at my house... if you don't count the personal pizzas we made with the grand kids yesterday. Food is fuel.  That doesn't mean that we don't eat well.  We do!  Food is tasty in it's natural state.  I am enjoying food more than I have before. Today I have decided… Continue reading Fail to Plan, Plan to Fail

Wrapping up August in fresh veggies

It is great to live in a beautiful place where many things grow.  This week we enjoyed fresh plums, peaches, watermelon, cantaloupe, cucumbers, tomatoes, corn, zucchini, yellow summer squash, onions, green beans, raspberries and strawberries.  I didn't really make "recipes" for meals.  Some meals were just 1/2 a cantaloupe and a spoon.  🙂  Other meals… Continue reading Wrapping up August in fresh veggies

Yummy Things at My house

Oh the bounty of veggies that are in my valley at this time of year!  It's great!  We eat like royalty... vegetarian royal family.  Teehee. Today I am not going to give a play by play of what I ate.  Breakfast was usually a fruit and greens smoothie or sauted veggies of some sort.  I… Continue reading Yummy Things at My house

Bountiful Veggies

This has been a week of gorgeous produce - from my own garden and from the local farm we get all of our vegetables from.  Earlier this spring, my husband and I decided to invest in a local farmer and bought a co-op share in a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) farm. BEST DECISION EVER!!! Bermudez… Continue reading Bountiful Veggies

What’s on the Menu

I have realized 2 things in the last couple of weeks... I am still adjusting my recipe size.  I used to make dinner for 7 or more.  Now I make dinner for 2 and sometimes, four. (My kids aren't ready to give up former foods, even if they are making some effort here and there).… Continue reading What’s on the Menu

Menu Monday – an example of a Lack of Preparation 

This past week was a long one at work.  We were in full production which left me with little time to prepare.  It was all doable... if I took the time.  At the beginning of the week I made a plan.  However, I wasn't good at that by the end of the week. Here is… Continue reading Menu Monday – an example of a Lack of Preparation

Menu Monday – What’s for Dinner 

So... Many people may be wondering Just how I eat with this new plan... lots and lots of veggies.  LOL.  It's a little hard when I am on the go every day.  At least veggies are easy to come by right now.  My garden and the bountiful basket thing we belong to are supplying all… Continue reading Menu Monday – What’s for Dinner

Menu Monday – Eat to Live 

It all started with this book.  Well... Maybe a little before this book, but this book is what has rocketed my journey forward. For the past year I have been feeling pretty crappy.  Headache.  Sore feet that are so bad I can't walk well.  Sore knees and hips.  Poor sleep.  Now I am not one… Continue reading Menu Monday – Eat to Live

Pumpkin soup 

Many people have ask how I made my pumpkin soup.  To be honest, I am mainly a dump-in-what-I-can-to-come-close-to-the-recipe kind of cook.  Thus, the following is as close as I can get to the recipe I made for... 4 tablespoons butter (I used Smart butter) 1 cup chopped onion 1 clove garlic, crushed 1-2 tablespoon Thai red curry… Continue reading Pumpkin soup
