Menu Plan Monday #3

I am finding that keeping to my menu is harder than I anticipated.  Life happens and that is the way it is.  

 My job where I don't do anything has exploded into a fury of restructure so I have been hopping, not always eating what I had planned and not eating when I should.  Hopefully this will change soon.

 My weekends have been out of control as far as eating though I have tried to stay on plan.  This coming weekend we are heading up North for a couple of days to visit family so I know I will be completely out of whack then too.  Hopefully this is pretty close.

Quote of the Day:

"I thought this city would be a perfect place where everyone got along and anyone could be anything. Turns out, life's a little bit more complicated than a slogan on a bumper sticker. Real life is messy. We all have limitations. We all make mistakes. Which means, hey, glass half full, we all have a lot in common. And the more we try to understand one another, the more exceptional each of us will be. But we have to try. So no matter what kind of person you are, I implore you: Try. Try to make the world a better place. Look inside yourself and recognize that change starts with you."

Good Girl Moonshine (GGMS)

Image
GGMS or Good Girl Moonshine.  A drink made of apple cider vinegar, water and sweetener.  Pearl and Serene of Trim Healthy Mama coined the phrase Good Girl Moonshine  as an all day sipper and made it popular, but drinks with apple cider vinegar and ginger date back to at least the Laura Ingalls Wilder days. In those days Laura called it Ginger Water.   In the first chapter of  "The Long Winter", Laura talks about Ma sending them ginger water to drink.  A little Prairie Moonshine if you will! If you are adventurous, you can try the "ginger water" recipe below that was in one one of my kids workbooks back in the day. I love my moonshine but I think that the 2 cups of vinegar called for in that recipe might be a little strong. You could also try one of the recipes  here or here  or here .  I have never tried a version with  brown sugar but it is on my to-do list. Let's talk about the vessel for GGMS. Glass quart canning jars are the preferred vehicle for ho

Morning Chocolate Craving

Image
So metimes I just feel like having chocolate.  There is no rhyme or reason, chocolate just sounds good.  Unfortunately, I can't blame my love of chocolate on my mother like I did  all things grape.   Well, I can but not for depriving me of chocolate...more for giving me chocolate!  My favorite chocolate thing ever is Chocolate Flavored Pudding Cake.  My mom would make one of those and she and I would finish it off in a night and a day.  My dad's favorite flavor was lemon flavored pudding cake.  I didn't learn to appreciate that flavor until later in life.  However, I still have my love of chocolate.  I have tried several "low carb" chocolate foods.  Sadly, most are pretty terrible in my opinion.  Just being real.  But, there are some that I can pallet and a very few that I really like.  Breakfast this morning were my two favorite low carb chocolate favorites.  First off is Briana's Superfood Brownie Single.  It is made with okra of all things.  But it so goo

I Am 50

Image
OK, ok, in 3 years I'll be 50.  But that's like half a century.  Half. A. Century.   Seriously, when did I get this old?  In my head I am still in high school rocking out to Whitesnake, Meatloaf and Bon Jovi, singing to Billy Joel and Dan Fogelberg songs, dreaming that one day I will meet Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton and knowing someday I will be a roady for Van Halen.  In real life I am a wife of 22 years, a mother of three grown children, I own a house, have two jobs and, in case anyone is interested, I am not nor have I ever been, a roady for Van Halen.   I am not going to dwell on this but we have had a rough few years.  At the end of 2015 we said 2016 would be a great year.  Nope.  That was a misnomer.  At the end of 2016 we said 2017 would be a great year.  NOPE!  January 11 of 2017 rocked our world and to say the least, it has not been a great year.  I can only hope 2018 will be better. However, the information I have at present is leading me to believe it wont be.  Bu
