Two Week Menu - February 27th - March 12th

What's for dinner? 

I struggled with that question for years.  My family used to joke me about the method I used to answer that question every day at 5:00 PM.  I would stand in front of the freezer, open the door, and cook whatever fell out.  Yup, that was me. 

Fortunately for my family (and myself) my method has improved immensely and we now eat a very healthy, and mostly whole food diet.  In addition, our grocery bill is very reasonable due to relying on less processed foods. 

Starting this week, I plan to post our family's two-week menu.  If you would like a particular recipe for something listed, just email me and I'll send it to you.  Eventually, all of the recipes will be posted on the blog. 

Sunday:  Eating out for Hubs birthday (we promise not to notify the wait staff that it's your birthday to avoid the embarrassing birthday song and dance routine)
Monday: Whole wheat spaghetti, venison meatballs with tomato sauce, cabbage salad
Tuesday:  Roast chicken, steamed broccoli, baked potatoes
Wednesday:  Ham and Tortellini salad
Thursday:  Enchiladas Suizas, steamed carrots
Friday:  Salmon, quinoa, roasted cabbage
Saturday:  Veggie Quiche, pineapple

Sunday:  Beef Noodle Bowl with carrots and broccoli, and cabbage
Monday:  Split pea soup, pumpkin muffins, orange wedges
Tuesday:  Breakfast for dinner (eggs, cheese grits, ambrosia)
Wednesday:  Venison stew, homemade bread sticks
Thursday:  Doctor's appointments all day - eating out
Friday:  Orange balsamic chicken, brown rice, roasted cabbage
Saturday: Hamburger (venison) and rice skillet, peas


Yes, we're eating a lot of cabbage because my garden overfloweth with them.  Yummy!

    If you still have a lot of cabbage on March 10, I will take some off your hands. : )

How To Make Your Own Exercise Bike For Next To Nothing

Remember back in April when I had a kidney transplant?  Well, the kidney is doing great (thanks, Cathy , for taking such good care of it when you owned it).  There was one little glitch, however.  During surgery, the retractors they used caused some nerve damage in my right leg.  When I woke up from surgery, I couldn't move or feel my leg.  The docs felt like the feeling would come back but the paralysis had them stumped.  A visit to a neurologist ruled out a stroke and a CT scan showed some fluid which was pressing on L4 and L5 (medical talk which means I couldn't feel or move part of my leg).  The prognosis is good and I'm recovering pretty quickly.  In fact, I've left my cane behind and I'm walking freestyle without falling.  My next goal is to be able to drive. I've been itching to get back to exercising (physical therapy doesn't count) because my medication causes me to gain weight and I need to burn some calories.  Running? - n...

Plans For A DIY Exercise Bike Stand

  Thank you to so many of you who emailed me about plans for the DIY Exercise Bike Stand .  I apologize that it has taken me so long to get the measurements to you, but they are finally here!   The wood was purchased at Home Depot and the bike pegs were purchased at Walmart in the bike section.    The bike we used for this project is a 24" 12 speed bike (I'm a shorty).  I used the hardest gear while riding, but this set-up does not allow you to really get much resistance (for building muscle).  It was great for getting my legs moving after some nerve damage.  I also wanted to burn calories and get my heart rate up and this did the trick.    If you have any questions, just shoot me an email.

The Finished Kitchen Remodel

Yes, we survived the kitchen remodel and I'm back to blogging again - I hope.  The kitchen has been done for about 6 weeks now but between my camera breaking and some glitches with loading photos into blogger, I've been an absentee blogger.  A big thanks to those of you who were concerned about me and checked in on me.   So. . . do you want a tour of the new space? A few months ago, my kitchen looked like this. . . And this. . . And this. . . And there was a window looking down from our upstairs bedroom. . . Then we decided to remodel and went through this for awhile. . . And some of this. . .  The room was finally starting to take shape.   And then we had this!! I wasn't sure what I was going to do about the island.  I really liked the functionality of the piece, but it was too busy and too white.  My new cabinets are a vanilla color and the white island was just stark. ...
