Mid-March is a fun time of year for me. The 15th is called the Ides of March (which is supposed to be a warning, but I don't heed it!) This past week has been very enjoyable. It feels like the beginning of spring and the end of winter. Lots of changes with the weather has brought cold sunshine or unexpectedly warm, windy days. I'm looking forward to more outside activities in the coming weeks! Walking More Jill and I had an opportunity to walk outside and catch up in person! Of course we wore our Becoming Elli masks, since we are still in the end stages (hopefully) of the COVID-19 pandemic here in Ohio. I enjoyed seeing lots of birds flying while I was visiting at my...

Frittata with Pepper Stir Fry Veggie Challenge

Frittata with Pepper Stir Fry Isn’t Cheating on the Challenge

Food and Drink, Veggie Challenge

In one of the recent podcasts I was thinking about my Frittata with Pepper Stir Fry breakfast when I said that I was cheating on the 2021 Veggie Challenge. We are all trying to add vegetables to our meals. The challenge for me is to eat more vegetables in my diet. The way I've been cheating is buying frozen vegetable packs and using them instead of cleaning, cutting and preparing fresh veggies. Jill replied that she doesn't think it is cheating, so I've decided to share this "recipe" with all of you. It's very easy and delicious too. Some people cook the eggs in an oven ready pan so they can bake the veggies into the frittata, but I take the easy stove top way instead. Pop...

chicken salad with two cucumbers

Chicken Cucumber Olive Salad

I am loving my new creation of cucumber chicken salad! What is your favorite way to make Chicken Salad? I have found that I really like having chicken salad made with cucumbers, olives, a little celery and onions.. and just a bit of cheese. Sometimes I'll put in Parmesan cheese, other times feta cheese. I've also made this type of cucumber chicken salad by adding a lot of broccoli slaw, but I end up really dicing the broccoli slaw a lot so that it doesn't have a large ribbon of broccoli. I think it fits better with the bite size pieces. Spices I like are dill and parsley with a little bit of regular salt and pepper as well. This time I just used lemon juice and vinegar...

There is no question that tracking food and water helps me to be more aware of what I'm eating. I notice that I consciously switch to a lower calorie choice or delay making a choice when I'm keeping track. Since I recently started keeping track of the amount of water I drink and tracking what I am eating I have noticed these changes: Snacks have been fruits - granny smith apples, bananas, frozen berries I'm choosing more lean chicken breast for the protein I prep food more often I go back and look at prior days to find out what works Putting together the grocery list seems easier, more purposeful Tracking gives me another routine to the day (which helps me to separate the days during the...
