TGIF and Summer Recipes!

Hello and happy Friday!!! 

It has been awhile since I last posted in here, things have been up and down and right now things are good.

I’m knitting in between working, helping family and just relaxing. Tomorrow I am donating blood as long as I have good hemoglobin levels.

I have some recipes for you folks, I will try to be better about posting the recipes so that you can look and try them.

Recipes and Life

The link above is for 12 recipes from My Fitness Pal, they have a lot of protein and these would be great all summer long!

I’m sure you have been wondering where I have been and the truth is, I have been here (home) all along. I have been working through some mental health issues and knitting.

I have also been stressed out about money, starting today I am going to try my hardest to track all my spending, stick to a budget and try to save a lot.

This may help ease my anxiety about money, it’s not easy but I hope to save $100 extra this month after paying bills.

Good news, I bought a budget planner from Walmart two weeks ago and I hope this works for me. I have started writing in it and so far I’m doing ok.

In good news, I raised money for a 13k virtual race and it felt great! I did the race in 2 hours and 27 minutes! The last mile was tough but I finished and that is all that matters!

I hope to do it again next year and I already started saving up money to donate. 

I’m going to relax, went for a 2 mile walk earlier and have had lunch. Going to knit and read today before I work at 3pm.

Have a great Tuesday!

Recipes!!!

 Hello and happy Saturday everyone! I am sorry that I have not posted on Fridays like I usually do. The app on my phone to post on here is being all funky and not letting me post pics which is sad. So for now, I may just post about recipes and figure out a way to post pics and write from my computer. 

Just so you all know I am not that tech-savvy but as long as my computer works and does not have an issue, I can use my computer.

I have been eating better, not 100% but I am trying to stick to better foods, I am skipping maybe 3 weeks of Factor_ meals because of fiances and I am trying to save plus I need to save up for dental work too. It's not fun giving up things but it is necessary.

The first link (below) is a video on how to make banana berry nice cream and it sounds yummy and is easy to make. I will be trying this in the future too and when I do, I will write about it. It uses almond milk but you may be able to use different milk or add a different yogurt and see how it comes out.

The next link is for Dark Chocolate Yogurt pudding and this sounds amazing!!!

It looks very yummy and both links look easy to make. You can make them for the kids and with the kids if you are looking for something to do and they are healthy too.

I use MyFitnessPal to track and log food, they offer recipes and show you what some meals may look like if you are trying to stick in a certain range of calories. 

I wanted to share these with anyone who is reading my blog and thank you for reading. I hope to help out folks who read this and bring you some great ideas.

Thank you for reading and have a great weekend!
