All natural Fruit Smoothie for breakfast, made of peaches and pineapple with a tsp of honey. ( I make them different everyday and I am loving it.)


Spinach and Kale Quesadilla for lunch. Yes it had cheese on it but SERIOUSLY.... when is the last time you had Kale???


I went to the grocery store today and bought a few new things.  Atleast they are new to me.  I bought purple cabbage (GORGEOUS) ,endive ( made me think of the movie Hitch) , brussel sprouts ( not frozen just Raw and natural) ,and avocado ( I have bought them and let them go to waste twice because I was scared to try them). Then I went to the Health food section and got a pound of almonds and sunflower seeds.  I need these for some new recipes but after researching so much lately I don't plan on ever buying nuts or seeds in the regular package.  Too much salt added to them.  Just plain RAW nuts.  


Tonight for dinner we had cabbage, black eyed peas ( that I soaked all day not from a can), scalloped potatoes, and baked chicken.  It was a fight to say the least with Nathan and Zachary.  Triston did great and said anything was better that the Eggplant Parmesean we had Sunday. My precious Savannah ate it all and loved it.  She is reminding me more and more of my sister growing up.  My mom would try to make me eat healthy things like ...Brussel Sprouts ( CAN YOU IMAGINE?). I would be gagging and complaining and she was asking for more.  She made a big deal out of the fact that they were so yummy.   What a brat!  Just kidding, Wendy.  I remember once having to get up EARLY on a SATURDAY morning and pick vegetables from our garden.  Did I mention it was raining?  Let me say it again.  I was about 13 yrs old, 7 am, Saturday morning, in the pouring rain, my parents made me get out of bed and pick STUPID vegetables out of our STUPID garden.  While I am huffing and puffing , my baby sister is singing and laughing.  Let's just say my teenage attitude was horrible.  WOW!  I would give anything to be able to go back and learn all I could about the garden ad I would have such a better attitude this time.  I would have to say.  My kids are awesome. ( so much better than I was)  Triston will set his alarm to get up early (6am) on a Saturday so that the can do his outside chores before it gets hot.  They all three wake up happy every morning and I still have to work on not being grumpy.  I am NOT a morning person.
