Needing some good ideas from the ladies!?!?!

Hi friends!!

Ok some of you are working, others may be busy moms, you each have going on what you have going on ... etc. Here is my dilemma that I would LOVE ideas for!! MEAL IDEAS! I know this seems silly since there are SO many resources out there for recipes and ideas... however ... I am stillll struggling to find a breadth of creative meal ideas for Tim and I on week days post-work!? These ideas needed are not recipes with more than 3 or 4 ingredients. They need to be quick and HEALTHY ... ie FRESH! I have the same boring go-tos that I am just so tired of!! And when I look online or in my delicious cook books I find great recipes but they are what we have come to refer to as our "weekend" cooking! SO I need ideas.

ALSO, easy lunch ideas for work!! I have been doing frozen meals, soup, raw nuts, fruit, etc. but find myself starving by mid-afternoon. It is a frustration to find HEALTHY, LOW CALORIE options that still fill me up in a way that I dont get sick of the food the next day. Maybe I also need some really good afternoon snack ideas too!!


Thanks LADIES!! I know you will have really good ideas for me!!! XO

PS an update: My dad is doing much better but we are continuing to monitor his health carefully. My cousins melanoma has been removed and preliminary tests say her cancer has not spread. My other cousin has another treatment coming up this week so please pray for that chemo treatment.

As an update to my previous posting on blonde hair ... my stylist did a "base" that was orange. It was terrible. I went back and made her fix it. Which she did but now there is just waaaay too much blonde. I am tired of the hair drama so I am seriously contemplating what it would look like to go "back to my roots" ... haha Stay tuned!

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend!

  1. I feel you pain on the meals, we have chicken and some vegetable a lot. Easiest thing I find is planning out meals with a weekly calendar, I got one that is a Post It and it goes right on the fridge.
    Orzo and quinoa are great, healthy meal makers, just ate raw cut of veggies when cooking and any spice you like. I like spinach, dried cranberries and chick peas and then grilled chicken. Also crock pot meals are great, like 2-4 lb pork shoulder or loin, add BBQ sauce, cocktail sauce and can of crush pineapple with juice, cook all day then shred. Can be pork tacos or nachos, bbq sandwiches or on a salad. It makes enough for at least 2 dinner meals if not more. Enjoy and hope you find some new meals :)
