OK. So yes, I am on Nutrisystem...but every once in awhile, you gotta treat yourself. The man and I have been reminiscing about when we met (11 years ago this month!) and pretty much, how much we miss having an actual Fall. For me this meant the scents and the crisp mornings where I would walk to my bus stop heading to work. So young, so free and ready to explore every possibility life had in … [Read more...]

Dan-o-Nino Review and $50 Visa GC Giveaway
If your household is anything like mine, your morning consists of several people getting up and ready for their day, scrambling to run out the door on time, and attempting to grab something- kinda sorta- healthy to have to start your day. For us, it's me running around, getting dressed while Joe helps find a somewhat matching outfit for Sofia to wear, as I stand in front of the fridge and just … [Read more...]
Menu Planning: Week Four
Menu Planning is easily becoming one of my favorite weekly activities. The food has been DELICIOUS and this week's groceries fell a good $10 below our weekly budget of $100 ($39 at Trader Joe's and $50 at Ralph's= $89 and change!) and we have a set (kinda) dinner time. Time management is working, budget is awesome, woo! Now... this week's menu:Week Four:Thursday- "Best" Tuna CasseroleFriday- … [Read more...]
Menu Planning: Week Three
I gotta say I am really getting into Menu Planning. The food we have been making is so DELICIOUS and HEALTHY! We are doing pretty good at staying within budget and even Sofia is eating with us (still fighting the veggies though, she's stubborn- suppose that's my fault though LOL). However- this last week, while we kept to menu, we did switch up some days. Saturday, my uncle took my family out to … [Read more...]
Menu Planning: Week Two
Well, we completed one week of menu planning and I gotta say...that first week was a little bit of a pain. Mainly cause we were REALLY trying to stick to it and not go over budget. Which meant I literally had to run to 3 different stores to get the best prices on stuff. But live and learn and now I know where to go to get meat & produce cheaper (and better quality!) and where to go to get … [Read more...]

Menu Planning and Grocery Shopping
So tonight marks Day One of eating according to plan. It was kinda difficult to write a menu down cause The Ex (I suppose I should stop calling that, but while we're on our way...we aren't there yet) goes to school Monday nights, and I go to school Tues/Thurs nights, so deciding on meals was HARD. However, after discussion and deliberating (you try discussing weeknight menu options with a Culinary … [Read more...]
My quest to lose it (the pounds that is) or how I didn’t get into the Nutrisystem Blogger Program
I have tried time and time again, and each time failed. Some comes from the fact that I do have hypothyroidism. Others from my not too active lifestyle. I don't eat bad...I stick to no fried or fast food and no soda.So when I saw the chance to become a Nutrisystem Nation Blogger... I jumped to apply. I knew this would help me, cause really I have tried EVERYTHING. I lose it... I gain it back. I … [Read more...]
