A New Season a New me!

This week we celebrated the first day of FALL! Fall is my favorite season! I love the colors of the leaves changing. I can spend all day outside without feeling like I am about to die in the heat! Perfect weather to run and play some lacrosse. Pumpkin patches, apple picking, corn mazes!  I love everything about fall, Don't you! You have two great holidays Halloween and Thanksgiving!!! Candy and TONS of FOOD! How could anyone not be happy!

Everyone usually waits until New Years to do their resolutions.. But I figured a New Season is just as good as a New Year.. I'm making the decision now rather than later. There's no day like today!!

My Resolutions
Lose another 15 pounds before Christmas.
Start meal prepping in order to stop eating out and save some money
Save all the money from my coaching and really work on saving it to go Germany!

That's it!

I know it doesn't seem like much. But I already know that its going to kick my butt.  With the lacrosse season in full swing and work I am already running around and trying to get my visits in at the gym. Dedication is key and so is having something that pushes you and hold you what you say. Hence why I am writing my resolutions on a blog, the world will hold me to what I am saying!

Stay tuned for updates on my Progress!!!

HAPPY FALL!

So for all of you that actually read this.. if anyone. I do apologize for not telling you about my meal last week. I was way too busy to blog about my post, but I did cook don't you worry.

 First we Went to Ireland- with an Irish Coddle And then we went south to the islands of New Zealand with a chicken and root veggie
meal. .

New Zealand

Chicken ontop of the  onions and hearbs

Yummy Carrots, leeks and potatoes.

Ireland

My Lovely Shamrock, to celebrate the Irish pride

sausage, bacon, onion, and potatoes. Sounds like new zealand

this meal steamed for about 3 hours

An Irish dinner turned into and Irish breakfast, just add eggs.

I know I didn't talk about the meals all to much,  but im so busy. All i have been able to do is cook and take pictures!

The meals were great! Just did a Canadian meal. Ill post soon!!!

To Spain and back in less than an hour.

Tonight we were off to Spain and let me tell you this was the easiest and quickest. I think i used a total of 3 dishes to make this dish. I was able to cook and then clean everything before the meal was even done.

I am Paella tonight and it was yummy! This dish had a great flavor and we had enough for leftovers.

Infusing the chicken stock with Saffron
