My house smells like meat.

Delicious, seasoned, dried up meat.


This looks pretty gross, but it smells delicious. This is basically my Friday night.  Plus some Netflix watching. I highly recommend "Safety Not Guaranteed".  Not even close to what I expected, but pretty cool. 

I'm so glad the weekend is here.  I have been dead tired all week, still not sure why.  I'm hoping I can catch up on everything and get ready for the week.  I really need to plan the next two weeks, because Nina will be here next Saturday! I am sure we will be going on adventures and eating lots of good food in all of the free time I have.  :)

Here's to a restful yet still productive weekend... is that even possible?

Something magical happened today...

A dehydrator came in the mail!


It's my birthday present from my mom.  I am so excited.  I cannot wait to make jerky (and maybe some healthier stuff like apple and banana chips, but mostly jerky!)

I've been wanting one for a while, I can remember growing up and dad always making deer jerky and it being delicious.  I'm sure he made other things in it, but this was probably the best.  

Do you have any good recipes for this new baby?  I'm dreaming up all kinds of wonderful snacks!

Let's talk about...

Food! Everyone's favorite topic!
I am definitely on a get healthy kick, exercising daily and all of that.  Luckily for me I already eat pretty healthily, you can ask Ben, I won't eat a meal unless it has something green... naturally green. On top of that I could basically eat just fruit and veggies for the rest of my life and be a-okay. Friends at work back home told me I was a rabbit.

I have found that it isn't as easy to eat healthy when you're living on your own.  In the 'Boro Ben and I would cook dinner together, which splits the work up.  Here it's all up to me. While it's not such a pain, after a day of dealing with tiny people, okay some of mine are actually bigger than me but whatever, I would just rather eat a bowl of cereal than deal with cooking something.  So I have decided to add crazy meal planner to my repertoire along with crazy cat lady.


 I have decided to start planning out my meals weekly and preparing them on Sunday. Well somewhat preparing them, I don't plan on preparing a weeks worth of salads and letting them get all wilted! I'm more so talking about pre-portioning my snacks for the week and cutting up all of my veggies and fruits so they are set to go.  

I've been learning a little bit from all of you bloggers out there just how to do this. I'm pretty excited about this new venture and I'm hoping it will help me to keep myself from eating a whole bag of pretzels, a healthier snack but not so good when you stuff your face with them.

I hope you'll be along for the ride as I try to figure out just how to cook all by myself... well until May when Ben get's here and I hand over the work! Just kidding, a little bit, well not really.

Miles has even been enjoying the green smoothie I've been putting together!

How do you make sure you're eating healthy?
