Eating Healthy
Keeping our bodies healthy means eating right, exercising and getting the right amount of play time and rest time. That’s hard to balance for kids! I’ve noticed my oldest Princess V struggling lately to communicate her feelings. We were experiencing meltdowns way too often for anyone’s enjoyment. One day after her dance class, when we […]

Not enough hours in the day

Menu Plan 3/11
We had a Pork Roast, Mashed Potatoes, and Asparagus for dinner last night. I think I got the best reviews from Mark I’ve had in awhile. Don’t misinterpret, he almost always enjoys what I make – but this meal was right up his ally, and he really really enjoyed it. I just might need to […]

80Bites Update and a menu

Pasta anyone? {Menu Plan}
I’m trying to minimize our meat intake, and up our veggies and fruit. After I planned our menu this week, I looked it over and realized I added a lot of pasta’s in exchange for meat dishes. I would love for some meatless inspiration to hit that doesn’t involve pasta! Monday – Ham and Tater Corn […]

Menu Planning with Kids
Yesterday I cooked up some Chicken Cordon Bleu for dinner. Sunday is always my favorite night to cook, since I have the time, and Mark home to help with the kids. Normally I will let the girls help me cook, unless I’m handling raw meat and sharp knifes. That was the case last night. Princess […]
