Quick post today, as I am still reading the Bible in 90 Days, and it’s crunch time with three days to go! Actually, I have just two days – today and tomorrow, because Saturday is going to be a busy one. So, with just shy of 200 pages left, it’s all about reading today and tomorrow! So, no Tidy-Up Thursday post today! Thanks for your prayers! In Christ, Dr. Laura Last month as part of the Booking It challenge, I read Real Food on a Real Budget by Stephanie Langford. In my quest for learning more about food, where it comes from, and what nutritional benefits it has for our bodies, I had come across Stephanie’s book. Real Food on a Real Budget is a great beginner primer on all things real food related. Stephanie does a great job of simplifying information and getting down to several key areas that can impact your food and your budget. On the budget side, Stephanie delves into the basic budget, options . . . → Read More: Book Review – Real Food on a Real Budget One of my favorite things to eat is a breakfast sandwich. And, in past years, I have come a long way from the McDonalds Sausage/Egg/Cheese McMuffin or Burger King Sausage/Egg/Cheese Crossanwich. My first step toward a healthier breakfast sandwich was to start making them at home. A friend of mine introduced me to white spelt buttermilk biscuits and I fell in love. These melt in your mouth and are just the best way to enjoy a breakfast sandwich (or any kind of jelly, etc.) in the morning. Now, I also use local cheese and pastured eggs . . . → Read More: Dr. Laura’s Tasty Tuesday – Spelt Buttermilk Biscuits The end is near! I am reading through the Bible in 90 Days, and this experience has been nothing short of phenomenal. In fact, I would highly recommend that you read the Bible in a short time like this. It’s much more like a novel, and a lot easier to piece everything together. Today, It’s day 85 of 90. Just 5 days left to go. I am excited to say that today I finished the Old Testament. That’s right folks! I am now on page 813 out of 1048 – just shy of the 200 page mark! This past . . . → Read More: Bible in 90 Days – 5 Days To Go!
The weather is getting colder and the leaves are beautiful here.
It’s definitely cooking weather and I’m feeling more inclined to do more baking. I have a list of recipes to try about a mile long, and seem to find more every week! And yet, I am a creature of habit and tend to like to make the same things, over and over and over again. They are our family’s favorites. And, they are also what’s in the freezer This week: Monday – Leftover Buffet Tuesday – Spaghetti with Homemade Tomato Sauce . . . → Read More: Menu Plan Monday – September 27
The leaves are changing colors here in Vermont, and with temperatures getting cooler, I am looking ahead to Christmas. I know what you are thinking – it’s still three months away! Well, I do like to prepare ahead, but this year it was even more important. Earlier this year, I started a 31 Goals in 31 Days Challenge, modeled after my brother’s journey with 100 Goals in 100 Days. One of those goals was to have a frugal homemade Christmas. So, back in March, I began working on several projects. There are three main families, and . . . → Read More: Frugal Friday – A Frugal Christmas Last month I read Omnivore’s Dilemma by Michael Pollan. In this 450+ page book, you will find an amazing amount of information about your food and where it comes from. The book is divided into four sections, where Michael traces the source of a meal from beginning to end. The first meal is McDonalds, so this section has a TON of information on industrial farming in general, and the source of the McDonalds cheeseburger (primarily corn) specifically. I was really impressed with the detail (you can tell that Michael is a journalist) that goes into this section, . . . → Read More: Book Review – Omnivore’s Dilemma I was over at Kelly the Kitchen Kop this morning for her Real Food Wednesday, where I hooked up my Chicken Fried Rice recipe, and lo and behold, she had this wonderful video from Michael Pollan on organic food. It’s worth watching. Enjoy! To your success, Dr. Laura P.S. I’ll post my book review of Michael’s book Omnivore’s Dilemma this . . . → Read More: Michael Pollan on Organic Food
Chicken Fried Rice is one of my favorite recipes, so I took the basic recipe that my friend gave me years ago, and tweaked it a bit to be more healthy and viola – Healthy Chicken Fried Rice. YUM!! This is one of the staple recipes in our home now. Here’s the recipe: Chicken Fried Rice 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and cubed (I boil it) ½ medium onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, pressed 1 heaping cup vegetables, chopped (I use broccoli and carrots, raw) 2 cups cooked brown rice or wild rice blend (I . . . → Read More: Dr. Laura’s Tasty Tuesday – Healthy Chicken Fried Rice As you may know, I am reading through the Bible in 90 Days. This has been quite an experience and I am so thankful for everything that God has been showing me through this journey. I am still catching up. As I mentioned last week, with children back in school, I have more time to dedicate to reading, so I am reading about 50 pages a day Monday through Thursday. Friday, Saturday and Sunday are harder days. Especially this past weekend, when we had family come for a visit. But, still I am persevering and committed to finishing on . . . → Read More: Bible in 90 Days Update – 12 Days To Go!  |
