Happy Mother’s Day! I’ve had quite a lazy day, because my men wouldn’t let me cook all day. Or do dishes. Ah. So nice!
Instead of cooking and washing dishes, I had extra time to work on and finalize an idea that’s been brewing in my brain for a while. Wanna know what it is? You’ll have to come back Monday for that! It’s not a huge big deal. It’s just a simple something that I’ve been wanting to do for my own family…and if it helps you too, then YAY!
Here are a few hints:
- Anyone can do it
- It’s nothing weird
- It’s the most basic, simple, easy thing I can think of to launch us all toward being healthier!
And that’s all I’ll tell you today. ;)
On that note, here’s our menu for the week….

I need some healthy choices for this week since we went to my brother-in-law’s for fried fish, fried hushpuppies and french fries. For dessert: banana pudding and heath bar cake. Yikes!
Can’t wait to hear how your corn dogs turned out. I saw the most brilliant idea on allrecipes last week… corn dog muffins! Basically just whatever sweet corn bread recipe you want, mixed with cut up hot dogs and put into muffin tins. Add in a little ketchup or mustard and these were gone in a flash at my house! They tasted just like corndogs but without the stick! and without oil! Brilliant I say! :)
hey, you did do the corndogs. I hope you post a picture!!
great menu plan going, awesome on the more fruits and veggie, that is one top of my list for the next few weeks and hopefully forever!!
We tried your ranch potato wedges last week with marinated pork and it was SUCH a hit! Thanks for the recipe!
