Eating Healthy

After a full week of eating out and eating really good food that's really bad for you, it's time to get healthy.

So my goal this month is light healthy dinners served around 5:00. Who knows, it might even inspire me to do more posting on my food blog.

Last night we had a spinach salad with pico de gallo & leftover tri tip, along with a healthy pasta salad. Tonight we had marinated chicken & quinoa. We never had quinoa before & really liked it.

I think we're off to a good start.

Card Making

I loved the picture & prayer so much from yesterdays post that I decided to make my own Holy Cards out of it.

First I created the prayer with a color background with my photo shop program, then I printed the picture & prayer in wallet size photos. Once I cut them out I just glued them together.

I have Holy Cards everywhere, I love to use them as book marks too

My First Centerpiece

Yesterday I spent the day with Ruth (sister) and we had a wonderful time.

When we arrived at a shopping center to have lunch Ruth pointed out a Pier 1 Imports, so I thought it would be fun to walk around, so we did. While looking I was inspired to create a center piece. Ruth helped me select the candles and the other items used, I was so excited that I wanted to go home & put it together right away. But I was hungry!!!

We had lunch at The Soup Plantation and it was really good, I love that place, I love making my own salads when I don't have to chop the veggies myself.

After lunch we went on a little adventure. I had figured how to get to the nearest Trader Joe's from the shopping center we were in, well i guess I made a wrong turn somewhere along the way and didn't realize it for quite awhile. A 7-10 minute drive ended up taking about 40 minutes. But we had a great time together.

Here are some pictures of my centerpiece.
