Weak-ly posts seem to be the theme.....

Well... pre planning my meals for the week helped somewhat..... except I forgot the nicely organized list of what to get, at home, so I didn't get everything I wanted. I think my favorite meal this week was the Curried Rice Pilaf YUM :) Unfortuately, I didn't take a picture of it.
 However, I did get a picture of the Chicken Basil Dish......

Other wise a few cute pics I found in my iphone include:

"new mantra" for healthy lifestyle changes ;)

Little dude that makes my day ;)

Planning a head :)

So last week I tried a new tactic of pre planning and organizing our weekly meals!!! It worked like a charm!! The most important thing was that I pre read the ingredients and make sure they were on hand... then the day I was going to prepare the meal... I had to make sure I had the time required for the meal.... if not I chose a different one from my list of weekly meals :) 


So today, I am organizing for the same tactic for this week...... 


On the menu so far is .... CURRIED RICE PILAF, HONEY NUT CHICKEN + CHICKEN WITH GARLIC, BASIL & PARSLEY... just a few more reciepes needed. 


What are you thinking of cookin up this week???




Off for some fresh air :)

Oh kay.... lets try this again.....

Well I really wasn't sure if blogging was for me!!! But seeing as how I have somehow managed to get 143 views on my site.... I feel motivated again to start up this bloggin' thing :)

Lately, I have been on and off the "clean" food eating, 
"healthy" eating, "have whatever I feel like it" eating... 
and have been struggling a bit..... 
you would think an upcoming trip to Maui would be sooo motivating..... but its still tough!!! 
My motivation is creeping upwards the closer I get to my vacation.... question is ?? is it a little too late ?? 
We will see......

Dinner tonight was a yummy one.... I was craving a new kind of salad.... I tried this recipe....
AND IT WAS YUMMY... 
my hubby added some ranch dressing to his... 
but I liked mine just the way it was...



Aside from trying to eat better.... I've been trying to get the booty movin' too.... check out these stairs I found to run along side a beautiful view...

FROM THE TOP (looks not so bad right?!?!)

Check out the VIEW FROM THE BOTTOM.... 
(looks a little more intimidating eh?!?!)


Entrance to the running area :)))
