Food Prep!

Good Morning! I wanted to post today about my weekly (weekend) habit: Food Prep!  I have a love/hate relationship with cooking. I love to cook, but I hate to come home after a long day of work and have to cook.  A while back, I decided that I would devote time on either Saturday or Sunday (right after shopping) and cut up vegetables/meats/fruits for the upcoming week so we can just grab and go or make a quick dinner.   When I first started doing this, it was before I knew about Norwex products and it would take me about 4 hours of precious weekend time, because I would have to pull out the chemical cleaners multiple times throughout my prep now I am down to just 2 hours!  My Norwex products have cut my time in half!!  

 My Norwex prep must haves are: 

 1) Dish Cloths/Towels/Enviro (any of these work, as they have the BacLock and clean the surface throughout the process) I usually have a couple on hand 

 2) Fruit and Veggie Wash! I love this stuff, it is completely chemical free and a quick rinse in this makes my Fruits and Veggies not only clean but they last so much longer! 

 3) Fruit and Veggie Scrub Cloth, I love having this on hand to give my stuff a great scrub down to get all the dirt and pesticides off!  With all of the stuff I have read about cantaloupe and other fruits with peels I feel completely safe after a good scrub down from my trusty Fruit and Veggie Scrub Cloth and a bath in the Fruit and Veggie Wash. 

  Also, I am posting photos of one of my finished products. 

 What my new rule of thumb is when I get home from the grocery store I prep all of the fruits/veggies/meats before I put it away.  In the past I have wasted so much food because I would put it in the fridge and forget about it or just be to lazy to make a meal after work.  Now that I have incorporated food prep into my routine I haven't let food go to waste and it has saved me time, money and hassle.

TV Shows that I don't care for, but I have tried really hard...

Image
I did a post on my favorite TV shows of all time, so now I am going to talk about TV Shows that I just don't care for, but have tried really hard to like.  These shows fall under a subcategory of "shows that people my age tend to like."  Many of the actors in these shows I like in other tv shows or movies, but I just don't like or am disappointed by these shows in particular.  Another thing to note is I have seen many episodes of each one of these shows and have given them all a fair shot.  Also, these are not in any particular order. Please don't be offended by this post as it is completely opinion based: Friends (1994-2004) - Most girls my age were and still are obsessed with this show.  I watched it in high school and college along with everyone else, but when I step back and actually think about the show, I never really liked it at all.  The characters were always making really bad decisions, acting slutty and not really caring about people around them; th

How did it get to be 2018?

Happy New Year!! I know I am 19 days late on the well wishes but 2018 was a rough start in my household. We got the flu and my husband and I were down for the count. We realized by the end of it that we haven't spent that much time together in our home since we first got married; but instead of it being a fun honeymoon busily settling into our new home it was a lot of cough syrup, chicken soup and video games.  The bright spot was I was able to introduce my husband to SNES' Zelda a Link to the Past. He had never played it!!  I know that game better than I know most things (I am a huge video game nerd) so it was fun playing it with him for the first time. I love making New Years resolutions, and I still did that this year but I am starting them a little late.  I decided the best way to get going with my resolutions is to share them on my blog.   1) Continue to Choose Happy:  A few years ago, I made some changes in my life and I decided to be happy and enjoy life.

New Years Resolution or Goal Setting?

Image
Every year I make the same resolutions; eat healthier, read my Bible daily and save more money.  Some years I have kept these going throughout the year and have done quite well but some years not so much.  This year I am not making resolutions but starting goals.  I know you may think that is the same thing but the difference is I am not going to hold myself to just this year, or if I fail in my goal I will just pick right up again and not wait until the end of a month or year.  Each day is a new day and if one day I fail, I will just pick up where I left off.   Here are some goals I am setting starting in this new year! 1) Eat/Live Healthier - This one is pretty self explanatory.  I need to stop all of my crazy eating habits.  I am not 18 and a distance runner anymore.  I cannot eat a pint of ice cream in one sitting.  (not that I have done that in many years, but you know what I mean.  I did eat 3 donuts in one sitting very recently.)  I am going to set the goal to work out as ma
