WHAT’S FOR DINNER | WEEKLY MEAL IDEAS
07/05/2018
Summertime! There is nothing better than fresh vegetables from the garden. I’m still living the Keto lifestyle. I’m down 24 pounds total and pretty much stalled there. I need to get back to strictly tracking my daily intake and ease up on the Keto sweet treats and I’m sure I’ll get back on the downward slide. The fresh summer veggies and herbs make it easy to make Keto friendly summer meals full of flavor that the whole family enjoys which makes my journey easier. You’ll find that my dinner menu is Keto friendly. While I promise, most every recipe I try is delicious, if you don’t want the higher fat, low carb. meals, you can simply use the dinner ideas below and create your own regular/lower fat versions.

ITEMS NEEDED: Ball Point Pens // Floral Tape // Artificial Flowers // Wire Cutters // Hot Glue Gun STEP 1: Remove and discard both ends of a ball point pen. You may need to use your wire cutters to help pry off the top end of the pen. It’s okay if the...

THE NEXT PHASE | OUR NEW HOME + REMODEL
08/21/2017
Update on our home situation – after selling our home of 18 years last January, we originally had plans to build a custom home. We settled into our rental and were ready to start the building process. Unfortunately, the final build price came back WAY over the estimate. It was either stretch our budget to the max or start the home search again. As fate would have it, the home we were renting was for sale, had nearly 5 acres of land and was almost double the size as what we would get building new. Today it became official. Our rental is now our new remodel project. I can’t wait to get started on it’s facelift. I have more space than I thought I would ever have, so much storage that I’ve got empty cabinets waiting to be filled and lots of land perfect for whatever we can dream...
