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

Turning the Food Pyramid Upside Down 

Every waking minute of every day we are bombarded with mixed messages about what to eat and what not to eat. It is hard to wade through the myriad of “knowledge” that can be found in the big wide world. Fast food, comfort/reward food, snack food, convenience food, fad diet plans with their very own… Continue reading Turning the Food Pyramid Upside Down

Endurance 

I have a couple sisters and a brother who love to run. I’ve never understood why. I know they run for the exercise, but I believe they run to condition themselves and because they enjoy the burn. I have never run a ¼ mile race, let alone a marathon, but I have a dream of… Continue reading Endurance

Keeping it Simple 

(Modified from a post from 2011) I’ve been struggling of late to simplify my life — a rather difficult task I might add. There is simply too much of everything, too many distractions, and I need peace. The problem of simplification is a common struggle among my friends and family. “Life is really simple, but… Continue reading Keeping it Simple
