Life in Michigan's Upper Peninsula

Will Spring ever come?
Family is Key

Whew, halfway already?! Time goes by crazy fast when you’re busy!

wiaw april

When I went to the therapist he told me to eat less carbs, more protein. I haven’t totally done that, but I am trying a little. I’m attemping to make 1 of my meals a day low carb.

Breakfast

Oh, why don’t I make green smoothies more often? They are So. Good. With a small piece of the best banana bread in the world and a few strawberries, breakfast was amazing yesterday. This was my low carb meal, haha.

Lunch

You can bet I was super excited all morning to eat this gem. Lettuce, kale, turkey, hb egg, and feta cheese. Plus ranch (not pictured) YUM. And an apple. I really don’t think I should eat salads for lunch because I’m hungry an hour later. I need substance.

Dinner

Thai Peanut Noodles (out of a box). We added chicken, broccoli, scrambled eggs, and our own peanut sauce. It wasn’t bad, but I think I like the Pad Thai better. We finished it all, so we must’ve liked it somewhat!

I would say I did pretty good on the veggies. Better than I normally do!

We’ve been trying quite a bit of recipes that I haven’t been sharing (lazy πŸ˜‰ ) so here’s one!

Apple Kale Salad (Spinach and Apple Salad)

Fresh kale, sliced apples, toasted almonds, and feta cheese all drizzled with a sesame seed dressing. It was okay, not my favorite salad. But we tried it! It sure was pretty! It would’ve been better to use spinach- kale doesn’t stick to food very well. πŸ˜‰

I had a little meltdown today. I might post about it tomorrow, maybe not. If I feel up to it.

It’s supposed to snow tomorrow. 3-5 inches ugh!!Β Snow, go away.Β
