I love these blooming trees that I see every day on my break! It is starting to get lighter out earlier too which is so awesome! I am ready for warmer weather!

We have been having a cold spell again, grrrr! Still feels like winter!

Happy Spring wishes friends!

I had a fridge full of different greens so I decided to make a soup out of all of them! It has celery, leeks, kale, Swiss chard, collard greens and 3 Yukon gold potatoes for some starch! I love simple soups! Very tasty and healthy way to get your greens on a cold wintery type of spring day!

Have a great week friends!

Boiled some Yukon gold potatoes is left over chicken broth as I baked a pan full of chicken this morning for Gizmo and me! Mmm Mmm flavorful potatoes!

I cooked a couple small steaks and this is my portion for my dinner! I can get a couple meals out of the meat! Yay!

With the same broth I boiled a head of cabbage as both Gizmo and I love cooked cabbage!

Then I boiled my broccoli in the same broth as everything else was cooked in! Now I am saving the broth to just drink as it has all the flavor and nutrients and I don’t want to waste it! Plus I can ad some to the cabbage and broccoli when I heat them up to eat!

I have some left over ham and bean soup too so yay I don’t have to do any cooking tomorrow!

Stay warm and have a great week friends!

I got this recipe from website http://www.msshiandmrhe.com

It is a Japanese Chicken Curry recipe and I will serve it over rice! This will be awesome in my lunches or for dinner when I get home from work!

I love the smell of curry! Next time I will add more chicken, as I ended up making a large amount which works good for me!

Have a great week friends!

I love one pot wonders! I wanted a healthy new lunch idea and got this recipe from http://www.stylishcravings.com

I love mushrooms and spinach and it is kewl having cauliflower rice instead of regular rice! I am working on weight loss so I need to substitute!

Later in the week I have another fun new meal planned and I will share that when I make it!

Have a great rest of your week friends!

I am working on eating better with my lunches at work! That is a struggle as it has to be simple since I don’t have a whole lot of time to eat. I did my treadmill three days in a row so far! I saw these ducks today I walked one of my breaks. Have to when it isn’t raining!

I am exhausted, it takes time to get in the habit of moving but feels so good when done!

Have a super week!

Happy New Year Wishes! May this year be awesome for you all! I was blessed to see this gorgeous sky this morning!

Today is the last day of my vacation, I go back to work tomorrow! I did a couple of fun things on my vacation but for the most part stayed home and enjoyed my little fur kid!

My goal is to read a lot more books! I have quite a few on my bookshelf that I have wanted to read for a long time!

Have a wonderful rest of your week!

My loved ones spoiled me with my new tv they gifted me and they helped me assemble my new tv stand! Now I get to enjoy my little police dog collection in my living room!

The sky was so gorgeous a few nights ago, I had to stop in a parking lot to capture it!

At a loved ones house we got to see this gorgeous hawk! I was so excited to be able to capture him on camera!

We went to a Holly Days event and I got to pet this very cute Llama! This Llama even gave me a kiss! He was so cute!

Merry Christmas wishes friends! Have a great week!

I had a chicken breast in the fridge so I whipped up a batch of chicken and basmati rice with onion and celery. After it was cooked I added a splash of teriyaki sauce for yummy flavor and wow! Simple goodness! I wanted this for my lunch for the next few days!

Our winter has started so we are in cold temps, brrrr! Dreaming of sunny warm days!

Have a great week friends!
