It’s been a very soccer filled weekend for us. Between watching World Cup games together and running back and forth to Lincoln for Justus to play in a soccer tournament…we’ve been watching a LOT of games. At one point actually, we were watching Justus’ game from the van and listening to the remainder of the US vs. Ghana game on the radio. Ever watched one game and listened to another at the same time? It was a little bit interesting. I was never quite sure when to shout and when to cringe. Wow, are we a die hard soccer family, or what?
(I won’t even tell you about the great lengths we went to since we were out of town for the day and just HAD to watch US play Ghana. Hey, Matt and I have been to Ghana before. It is a special place to us. We were gonna see that game!)

Hi, Just starting our quest of eating healthier. What do you think about eating only seasonally that so many recommend? You don’t seem to follow that strictly(pears, apples). Not critisizing, your meals look wonderful, just wondering your thoughts. Thanks
Well, we do try to eat locally and seasonally as much as possible…and we’re trying to wait patiently for fruits and veggies to be ripe and ready here in Nebraska! The pears we’re eating are those I canned last year when they were in season and the apples are the last of what we got from our food coop (they’re out of stock now).
So, we do eat seasonally, but there still isn’t much for us to choose from right now where we live. Plus, the time frame we have here in Nebraska for local produce really only lasts about three months. I do buy seasonal produce at the grocery store (even if it isn’t local) sometimes…but we don’t have a lot of great selection in my town for great produce from the store. :(
Thought about you all when we saw a little of the US Ghana game! As usual, some great menu ideas.
hey! I’m on my way to cali and am going to be hitting nebraska tomorrow! it’ll be fun to be in the same state for a while….I enjoy your blog even though I never comment!!!
Cookies for breakfast sounds like a trend that will really catch on. Have a great week!
