I love to eat.. eat.. eat...

Eating healthy hasn't always been a top priority; if it tastes good, I'll eat it. Especially during college! It's very hard to eat healthy on a low budget and without much time during the day to actually fix a decent meal. This year I have been challenging myself, or should I say Matt has been challenging me, to start better eating habits and to stay away from my frozen dinners, spaghetti-o's and my usual late night bowl of ice cream. ha!
I have grown to love being in the kitchen and whipping up some new meals for the two of us. Matt and I go to the grocery store together, so it makes it easier for us to collaborate meals that we'll both enjoy:)

Shish kabobs! Bell peppers, pineapple and beef...yummmmy! I love this mixture of ingredients, but you can add anything from cherry tomatoes to squash to get just what you want.




I do my best not to fall under the temptations of delicious sweets; however, sometimes I give in but have learned to limit myself.



This was my first time cooking salmon, and it was so easy! I added lemon juice and seasoned it with garlic, basil and salt.


Parfaits are the new ice cream :)



Last week my aunt had all of the girls in the family over for a bread making class which was super fun! Her friend Kelly taught us how to make wheat Italian dough, marinara bread, stuffed bread, and foccacia bread which you can see above with the chicken breast and broccoli.
Kelly was telling us about a 101 year old woman that comes to one of her classes each week and she's just the sweetest thing. Well she loves to crochet, so made us these beautiful dishcloths that had such an uplifting story attached to it..."Lessons From a Dishcloth: I am an instrument totally yielded to my master's hands and will. I wash dishes, clean counter tops, stoves, or whatever you want me to do - just use me as you desire. May 'we' be similar instruments in 'our' Master's hand!" 2Timothy 2:21 Handmade by "Granny" Nelson
