I'm in denial that summer is almost over. I mean seriously, how is it almost September already?
I guess I can deny it all I want, but days are getting shorter, evenings are cooler and the sound
of a school bus turning around in our cul-de-sac each morning lets me know that I better
kick it in gear and get to the office.

Whenever I hear someone say they were SO busy they forgot to eat lunch I'm like what??
I don't care how busy I am at home or work, I never forget to eat! It's my favorite.

Sunday meal prep is still going strong around here.  I've been doing really well with it
most of the time.  I find that when I do take the time to prep and plan on Sundays we eat
healthier meals  and I'm in a better mood since I don't have to run to the grocery store on
my way home from work.  Being prepared gives me so much more time in the evenings
to do the things I enjoy like reading, blogging or watching a movie with the family, instead
of trying to figure out what we're having for dinner and then starting from scratch to make it.

Happy New Year and Healthy Meal Prep

Happy 2016!
I love the start of a new year and a fresh perspective.

Our holiday decorations have been packed away and the house is back to normal.
I'm really excited to get back on track with healthy eating and exercise, like many
of you I over indulged over the holidays and now my body is paying the price.
To get back on track I have joined Liz from The Lemon Bowl and Dara from Cookin' Canuck
in their Healthy New Year Six-Week Challenge.  I would love for you to do it with me!

Homemade Turkey Noodle Soup

On Christmas morning I woke up at 5:30 a.m. to roast a turkey.
Who am I?

Ralphie from A Christmas Story was on TV, all of the Christmas lights were
lit, and I was massaging a turkey with butter :)
Good times!


The turkey turned out just right thank goodness.
I used a roasting bag and stuffed him with onion, celery, carrots and herbs.
We were hosting 25 family members for lunch and I would not have been happy
if I ruined the turkey!
