Just Relax

My eye was twitching, my shoulders were so tight I thought they were attached to my ears and my head was throbbing.  I was stressed, but I just kept plowing through what needed to be done, because it needed to get done.  Sound familiar? Stress is something we all deal with every day.  There’s good …

Sleep Well!

How did you sleep last night? If you are like most Americans, maybe not well.  I haven’t been sleeping as well as usual due to my knee.  I wake up every few hours.  It’s having an impact on my attitude, memory and my days in general. Though improving, I know the poor sleep has impacted …

Slow Down & Learn

I like to move quickly; physically and figuratively.  But I am learning there are times when it’s better to go slow. At the very beginning of my knee recovery, I had a machine to very slowly bend my knee.  It felt good to move my knee slowly.  Now, move slowly has become a mantra for the …

Out of my Rut

I’m in a rut. While enjoying some different foods from others helping me out this week, it has made me think of how I get stuck in ruts of eating the same things over and over.

Realizing this rut and then reading cooking magazines and watching foods shows all week, I’ve decided to keep trying some new foods & recipes-want to join me?  Each month I’ll highlight a new recipe (or two) I’ve tried that is healthy and appeals to more than just me-ideally the family. For me it doesn’t work unless there’s some consensus in the family.

We are on a wellness journey together, so let’s keep it healthy and with minimal ingredients!  I love reading cookbooks with intricate recipes, but in reality those occur once or twice a year for me-so simple and healthy is more realistic for everyday.

You have the Wellness Granola and the Wellness Journey Snack Mix recipes, so how about we start with a healthy, simple and interesting entrée?

Submit your recipes or chime in with ideas and next month I’ll highlight one or more that fit into our wellness vibe.  Comment here at the end of the post, email me at jill@memoryminders.net  or join the discussion on Facebook or Twitter.  What fun-each month we’ll get a new recipe (or more depending on how ambitious we all are) to try and keep us out of our ruts!
