It snowed today!!!

*HAPPY FRIDAY*

Another week has come and gone!

It was a good week, too!

My word for this year is POSITIVE...so I am trying to keep things light and on the up and up...we all have moments or trials and tribulations...but sometimes it is how we deal with them, that can set forth the tone of the day, week, month, year...you know what I mean, right?

Today was an extremely cold day, snow flurries, too

yesterday it was in the 70's with torrential down pours and today it is freezing cold with snow flurries...not enough to cause worry, but it sure was cold.

Friday's are also Starbucks Friday, so I got one after dinner.  We went out to dinner tonight at O'Charley's...Nice restaurant.

I did some volunteering today also.....FUN!

I am so happy it is the weekend.....I enjoy this time so much.

I posted my daily chore chart and will be posting more of those also, I have plans..a lot of plans going on that I would like to put on my Blog, my beloved Blog :)

My menu for the week will be put up this week also, please share yours if you do one.

I painted my dining room, tore out carpet..it has been an extremely busy week, but a week I loved.

I wake up early and do my Peloton...I love my Peloton soooo much....it was a gift from my husband last, last Christmas (2018) and I love it even more as the days go by.  I am getting better and better. It also helps clear my mind of stress and helps me start my day off right.

I hope your Friday was HAPPY and you have a wonderful weekend.  I will see you in the next Blog Post...promise :)

FOOD PREP!!! Enjoy :)

 This a peak into my food prep day...
I do this a lot, as I love to have an abundance of fruits and veggies readily available at all time :)

Everything is used...the fruits are eaten as is or put in smoothies.  Bananas are eaten or put in smoothies or I make my most excellent Banana Bread......recipe is in the side bar----->

Cucumbers are put in salads or put in vinegar.

Avocados are a staple...on salads, eaten as is....on Nachos.

Broccoli is steamed.

I eat a lot of Broccoli cooked or not cooked.

Everything is used in one way or another.

I am an avid juicer also, so I juice a lot of this also...celery is really good in the juicer, along with all the fruit and carrots.

Have you ever juiced a watermelon??  That is a sight to see...LOL

I give oranges as a side for breakfast or lunch or a snack...they are great for juicing and making fresh orange juice.

Apples are great to juice also, but I can make sliced apples, baked apples.

Radish are a favorite of mine, great to eat raw or roasted.  They are low in carbs and great for that waist line.  

I try not to salt anything because I don't like the way salt makes me feel.  You know what I am talking about, ladies...BLOATING...lol...tee hee.

Back to my fruits and veggies.....If you can prep your food, you are more likely to use it then for it to spoil into a science project in your fridge.

I hope enjoyed these pictures.
