Oh No, The Sickness

Late last night, Thade wasn’t feeling too good. By 10:30 p.m., the messy flu hit him, and I’m still catching up on the laundry today. So today he is home from school, and the little miss isn’t feeling too great, but Dylan is still going strong. I just hope that I don’t catch the flu, somebody has to wash all of the dirty clothes…

Kicking Off The Veggie Me

It is February and the start of the vegetarian Nico. I plan to be a vegetarian for the next few months, and see if I start to feel any better. I was a vegetarian for several years before I was married, and I really enjoyed it. I looked better and felt better, and three kids later, my energy is zapped. Time to give it another go.

Today I’m busy in the kitchen making meals for me for the week. I’m still serving a regular menu to the guys, so I am cooking a lot… Today I’ve prepped all of the veggie sticks for the week, along with the citrus fruits. I’ve also got just about every burner on the stove going with a big pot of Vegetarian Okra Gumbo, Mashed Sweet Potatoes, and Brown Rice too.

Yesterday I started off the day with a big bowl of Coconut-Almond Oatmeal, so tasty. I’ll keep everybody posted on how this little experiment goes.
