Hello blog readers! Our family took a fun little trip to my in-laws cabin in the mountains over the weekend. We went out on my in-laws boat, we relaxed in the cooler weather, and enjoyed each other's company the entire weekend. We saw some wild life also, a bob cat was sitting in the sun on my in-laws drive-way, and a buck walking along the road on the way home. It was a great trip to end our summer vacation. My hubby starts teaching again tomorrow, and my girls go back to school next Thursday.
In regards to food, we didn't do as good as I had hoped we would over the weekend. I did pack up fresh fruits, vegetables, and didn't buy the usual candy. We did go to Costco right before our trip, and we got some healthy foods like coconut oil, dried fruits, and organic lettuce, however we did get apple strudel bars, which are clearly not real food. We did better than we used to at Costco, but we still need to stay away from the bakery area.
This morning I made a large batch of homemade whole wheat waffles for our freezer, so we will have quick and easy waffles for breakfast once school starts. I also took the fresh strawberries I got at Costco and rinsed them with my water/vinegar solution, I find that when I do this the fruit lasts much longer.
I am thinking about us having steak salad for dinner tonight with some leftover steak we have. I may hard boil up some eggs because the kids have been begging me for more hard boiled eggs. I also need to make some granola bars/lara balls/ or muffins soon so hubby will have something to take to work for breakfast.
Overall as you can see we are still a work in progress. We are trying to balance our new eating habits, with our finances, trying to eat well and healthy, but without our entire paycheck going to our food budget. It's a balance that we are still trying to get the hang of. I am happy with the progress we have made thus far, and will continue to try our best to change our eating habits for the better.
