Feb. 18, 2006 - The Saturday of Snow and Ice

Yes, that's actually a first for us... in a long time anyway.  The rest of the winter up until now has been incredibly warm ~ quite often in the 70's.  It was odd to come out of Kainan's game last night and have to have Dh scrape the windshield!

Anyway ~ because of the wether, I had to cancel my mom get together to watch the Creating the Balance video.   

I spent a good portion of the day trying to plan out our menu for the week ~ trying to incorporate the dietary things that I want to implement for everyone.  Healthier, more natural foods...  even more whole grains, more proteins, and less refined/processed anything.  That was certainly a challenge on a tight budget!  Any ideas out there for inexpensive healthy stuff?  Recipes?  Any tips?  (Other than planning to cook from scratch for pretty much everything... and that still doesn't appear to be cutting it... but at least I can start heading in the right direction anyway)

So ~ that just about sums up my day.  That, and reserving library books for school next week.
