Weekly Recap

Sorry for the last post...again!  My hubs and I were up late watching the Hunger Games last night and my son had his last soccer game this morning so we are a bit backed up.  I was so proud of my little guy because he's really not gotten into the whole soccer thing but today he played a goalie-like position and he had two big stops!

As for the recap, I've been all over the place.  I guess my mind is already on vacation so I've been out of it!

• MONDAY:  Sweet Tea Social
• TUESDAY:  Pins of the Week
• WEDNESDAY:  Flipbelt giveaway and Goals LinkUp
• THURSDAY:  Cherries!  I'm working on my third bag this week.
• FRIDAY:  Pork Loin Chopped Salad.  Seriously, so good!

Pork Loin Chop Salad

Last night I surprised my meat lover of a hubs with a salad for dinner.  To say the least, he wasn't too pleased at the thought of having a salad for dinner but...he LOVED it!  And he kept saying later in the evening how surprised he was to still be full from it.  It was so yummy!

Pork Loin Chop Salad

• 1/2 avocado
• 1/2 tomato
• 1/2 cucumber
• Pork Loin cooked in the crockpot for 4 hours in 1 cup water (drain when done cooking)
• Romaine lettuce
• Feta Cheese (to liking)
• 1 tsp - 1 tbsp Cardini's Fat Free Caesar Dressing

Through it all in the bowl and mix and EAT!  Yummy!

Cherry on top

I'm sorry about the delay in posting.  Last night there was several tornadoes that were within 20-30 miles of our house so we were in preparation mode just in case one came our way.  They did so much damage in neighboring Cleburne and Granbury and I just keep saying prayers for those affected.

On a happier note, I was pumped to find one of my favorites at HEB this week when I went grocery shopping.

Cherries!  A couple summers ago I tried just the raw cherries in the produce section and I feel in love.  Sure you have to spit the pit out but they are one of my favorite snacks, ever!

Pins of the Week

Have I mentioned I'm totally addicted to The Hunger Games Trilogy right now?  As of the moment I'm writing this I'm still on the second book Catching Fire but I CANNOT put it down.

Oh Katniss, I feel so bad for you!  I loved Twilight as well, but it always bothered me how weak Bella was until the last movie.  Katniss is the opposite, she's so strong that it's like she has no idea how much strength she has.

Pins of the Week

I found this Detox Water on the fabulousfoodblog.com and I'm totally curious.  I don't necessarily think detoxes are the answer to everything but sometimes a fresh taste to flush the system is refreshing!

I loved this DIY Home Terrarium from Easy Home DIY and Crafts.  It has some great instructions with wonderfully informative tidbits of knowledge like putting charcoal to prevent mold!  I will definitely be heading to Lowe's or Home Depot to get some little plants and making some of these to go all over my house!  I love plants. Seriously, I will take pictures of my back porch and show you my plant obsession.

Fab 'n Free has a whole gaggle of chevron patterns available.  I love Chevron...hello my new blog design?  And this site has some great flips on the norm!

Sweet Tea Social

I've been a bit delinquent on my blogging this weekend!  I was down and out with a stomach bug AND I had a house of family and friends so I was a bit preoccupied.

I was going to write all about my recent Bulu box but between my phone camera that keeps crashing and my inability to eat I wasn't to into describing my recent finds!

So to say I was pumped to get Taylor's post in my email this morning about the Sweet Tea Social over at Texas Women Bloggers, is an understatement.  I've been missing my girlfriends (even the one's I live close to!) and haven't had an opportunity to just sit around and hang out in a couple weeks.  Usually myself and two of my friends get together every Thursday night after the kids are put to bed for wine night and to watch Vampire Diaries.  Oh Ian Somerhalder...he is something GORGEOUS!

Well, to say the least, we haven't gotten together in like 2-3 weeks!  Hopefully this week it'll actually workout! If you are a blogger and want to link up head on over via the button below.  Check out my post on Texas Women Bloggers and my post I'm wanting to share with my girlfriends.

Weekly Meal Plan

It's been a rough weekend.  I'm still stuck on the couch but at least I've strung together enough energy to write a blog post!  Hey I've even made a menu plan for this week despite not being able to eat this weekend.

• MONDAY:  Crockpot 15 bean soup with cornbread.  I was supposed to cook this last week but it just never happened!
• TUESDAY:  Crockpot Philly Cheese Steak Sandwiches.  Another of last week's meals that never happened.  What can I say, we had a lot of left over last week!
• WEDNESDAY:  Crockpot Pork Loin Chopped Salad. I got this from my SIL and Aunt in Law when they came to visit a couple weeks ago we cooked a loin in the crockpot and then tossed a bunch of misc chopped fruits and veges and it was just a big chopped salad and so tasty!
• THURSDAY:  Enchilada Roll Ups
• FRIDAY:  Pizza Rolls
